This past weekend, Al Sharpton welcomed NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly to the headquarters of his National Action Network in what the New York Post described as a "cozy lovefest." Despite fierce criticism of police behavior over the years, Sharpton invited Kelly to his HQ in an attempt at what Kelly called "a new climate of respect and change."
The Daily News reports that some responded to the invitation of NYC's top cop with grumbles, but mostly Kelly received applause. Kelly spoke for 30 minutes and addressed the department's new policy of issuing breathalyzer tests to officers in the wake of police shootings––a policy change initiated by the shooting of Sean Bell after undercover detectives killed a man after surveilling a bar for illegal activities. Sharpton said the meeting was refreshing after almost a decade of Mayors and commissioners who seemed unresponsive to engaging in a dialogue. Kelly insisted that the mutual respect between the two men was long-lived, and dated back to Kelly's days on beat patrol.
And related to Sharpton's efforts to stop the recording industry from using derogatory terms: The National Action Network response to rapper David Banner's comment ("The next time you see Al Sharpton, tell him I said f--- him and he can suck my d---") is something to behold.

Poor Kelly, he thinks he might have a shot at being Mayor. If he can raise Sean Bell from the dead, the job's his.
Two words. Tawana Brawley.

Is the Reverend's church located next to or above the Kennedy Fried Chicken restaurant on 125?
Reverend? Al Sharpton is the owner of a Chicken place. He sits behind a camera or microphone and preaches hatred to ignorant people that actually listen to him.
When we all stop listening to him and his accomplice Jesse the (REV) Jackson we all, including the Blacks, will be better off.
Let's us give Al a break OK. He was a child of abuse. The abuse was he had a big mouth and the white kids beat the you know what out of him.

Give the right reverend Al the respect he deserves. He was a very close friend of James Brown. A man who had a rap record equal to his recording record.
Talk about a bunch of sluts. They feel good! Jimmie not so.
God Bless you Reverend Al Sharpton,
I see you have a fan all the way from Florida.
I'm not an Al Sharpton fan, but this thread shows that he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't in every situation.
Thank you. I love you too.
or as I call it,
you can't win with white people.
Al Sharpton is the black John Liu.
I never have and never will like the so called Rev Al. I feel he causes more harm than good. Nonsense spewing from his lips.
