Talk about sickeningly misplaced sympathies . . . Waking up to the news that two police officers had been shot during a protest in Ferguson, MO last night, and turning on Morning Joe, I expected the first interviews to be with family members of the wounded policemen, or perhaps with the head of a police organization, condemning the outrage.
Instead, there were Al Sharpton, and Marc Morial [of the National Urban League.] And rather than focusing on the wounded policemen, Scarborough's first line to Sharpton painted him as a victim: "this has got to be terribly frustrating to you." Even more outrageous was Morial's statement that even after the resignation of several officials in Ferguson, the shootings show "that people want further change." Incredibly, Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, instead of bringing the focus back onto the victims, seconded Morial's notion.

Talk about inconvenience for Al Sharpton.
He’s got that look on his face like his new computer is going to have windows 8 already installed.
Scum!
There was none.
Did Al use the word “Much” in his answer? did he pause to make sure he knew how to pronounce each word correctly before answering?
Police shootings put money in $harpton’s pocket.
Maybe he’s frustrated because there aren’t more police shootings.
I don’t know who the idiot was they did the phone interview with on FOX this morning was but he seemed to want to treat it like an accidental shooting.
Yeah, an accident. Uh...how many shots were fired?
MSNBC is the new Comedy Central
That would have been my first thought....sarcasm.
the Comcast owned MSNBC is a propaganda purveyor for the DNC
The problem is, it has no viewers.
More people learn of MSNBC on Free Republic and Rush than actually view the story.
A pro-terrorist remark if I ever heard one.
Is there 'consensus' among the Communisty antagonizers?
The Left’s rabid hate is ‘nuanced’.
It's a lynch mob. They want more 'CHANGE'.
Rick, Quit pandering.
It’s disgusting and alienates the small base you had.
oh...and it doesn’t endear you to the liberals either.
You might consider the facts of EACH CASE, rather than join the crowd pretending the perps are all victims.
It was the gun's fault.
Hearings to ban guns begin in 5... 4... 3...
Wow
You are correct in using the word VERMIN. That’s exactly what these animals are.
Civil rights for them and no rights for us. Thanks LBJ.
It’s appalling that this jerk (Sharpton) has gotten so far with so much baggage.
Scarborough is just going along with a vast majority of the media. I heard a report of the shooting on the way to work this morning, the root of this problem was named in the report “unarmed Michael Brown”. I am getting sick hearing the phrase, “unarmed Michael Brown.” He was a thug on drugs. Perhaps Sharpton and Jesse would like my rhyme. I can think of a lot of things to call Michael Brown and the protesters in Ferguson, most of the which I can’t write on here. As long as the media controls the narrative and listens to Sharpton this problem will persist. Repeatedly identifying Brown in reports as robbing a convenience store and attacking a police officer would have been a good start. If protests still occurred, the protesters and looters should have been denigrated for their uncivilized behavior.
