Jackson was actually ordained, Mehodist IIRC, in 2008 or so. It is relatively recent. He changed after the ordination, much less rabble rousing. I believe he did attend a seminary.
Sharpton was ordained when he was 10 years old (a child preacher) and as far as I know hasn’t seen the inside of a seminary.
Here is what happened. Seeing that Sergeant Wilson had injured his eye whilst jumping from his cop car, young Michael Brown (aka The Gentle Giant) was rushing to render first aid.
The injured officer, not being a New Republic subscriber and thus a racist, mistook the young hero's intentions, and in a fit of anti-black pique emptied his automatic service assault revolverer into the hapless college student. It should be pointed out that Sergeant Wilson was a white man, descended from European invaders of Africa and the New World and that many of these Europeans owned slaves.
These misrepresentations of an African-American young man's intentions have happened before. For example, Trayvon Martin, seeing the whitish descendant of slave owners George Zimmerman attempting to commit suicide by bashing his head against a concrete sidewalk, heedless of personal risk rushed to his aid. He threw himself upon the depressed man who obviously had some white blood, but whose Hispanic forebears had oppressed Native Americans, and tried to prevent him from harm. The deranged man then shot the young Samaritan with an automatic assault revolverer and then drank his Arizona Iced Tea and ate his Skittles.
If you doubt my version of events, honkey, I refers you to Mr. Eric Holder and Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr, both of who be jiggy wit it!
I don’t know how you can be more clueless than this author. A black man shot by a white police officer is far more likely to result in a criminal charge, trial, and conviction than the other way around. A white man shot and killed by either a white police officer or a black police officer will result in an internal police investigation, a review by the prosecutor, and a finding of justified shooting.
This guy has no idea what he is talking about.
LOL! What part of the words 'reasonable doubt' does Schwartz not get?
“I’ve often wondered about Reverend Jackson and Reverend Sharpton. Did they go to divinity school? Are they ordained ministers in any known religious denomination? Where are their churches?”
NO, they both found their “callings” in a Cracker Jack box! Or they did it by mail order from that place in Fresno. (Sorry Jim, but I have a friend who got one from Fresno in order to marry some people). I think it was “The Church of the Gooey Death, Baptismal Car Wash, and Discount House of Sin”).
The Reverend Jesse attended the Chicago Theological Seminary dropping out in 1966, to focus full-time on the civil rights movement. He was ordained in 1968, and was awarded his Master of Divinity Degree in 2000. His baby daddy, who was not married to baby momma, was Noah Robinson, Michelle's Uncle. The Rev. Jesse's Half-bro, Noah, Jr., ran the notorious al-rukyn street gang and IIRC, is doing hard time as we speak. See:

In regard to both these here Revs, one can only take the Christian view as expressed in (II Cor. 4:2),and in (II Thes. 2:10), and perhaps more pointedly in Philippians 1:15.
They just have to find a judge who will rule any evidence about Michael Brown robbing the convenience store and any evidence about Darren Wilson’s injuries irrelevant...and dismiss all witness testimonies except for Dorain’s and Tiffany’s (a black woman who claims to have seen most of what happened from a short distance away).
Do Dorian do ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s?”

He be talkin', Wilson be walkin'!
Nah. They both were ordained by The Church of the Almighty Dollar.
