Ferguson, Missouri is definitely on edge. Al Sharpton says he is on “high alert.”
Outside the city’s police department overnight, officers in riot gear arrested a handful of noisy protestors who were blocking the street, some of them reportedly shouting, “indict that cop.”

“That cop,” of course, is officer Darren Wilson, whose fate now rests in the hands of a grand jury that’s been meeting for three months to hear evidence as to whether Wilson should face criminal charges for shooting Michael Brown back in August.
CNN is reporting that the grand jury will convene again on Friday and may begin deliberations that day, with a public announcement of its decision coming as early as Sunday.
But even before its known what the grand jury’s verdict will be — even before the notice of when that decision will be announced — Al Sharpton has revealed his plans for nationwide protests extending far beyond Ferguson.
The MSNBC show host continues to fan the flames of community unrest and racial discord by publicly stating his pre-judgments about what happened in the St. Louis suburb and the nature of the official investigation into the Brown killing.

According to a report by the CBS station in St. Louis, Sharpton — who has injected himself into the Ferguson shooting controversy from the beginning — is organizing “rallies” in more than two dozen cities.
Sharpton says once the announcement is made, demonstrators will make their voice known.
“How, some must say, how disappointing it is to hear the governor of Missouri lecture the demonstrators, and not deal with the problem of the provoking and the outright misbehavior of some of the police in the matter,” he says.
Sharpton is organizing rallies in 25 cities to have vigils and non-violent demonstrations at federal buildings.
ABCnews.com reports that Sharpton, through his National Action Network, is setting up those demonstrations outside federal buildings in order to pressure the Justice Department to open a “formal criminal investigation” into the Ferguson shooting.

“Sharpton’s long history of multi-million-dollar financial troubles, including millions in back taxes he owes and the unpaid bills Sharpton has racked up even as he has gained influence with top liberal politicians, including Barack Obama.” He can do what he does because he delivers what he promises by inciting anger in the blacks while instilling fear in the whites, causing them to go against what their “good common sense” tells them they should do and instead does what he says or advocates in order to appease and to “play nice” It has happened before, remember Hitler and Chamberlain.
Sharpton is a race baiting joke and yet he has followers.
So did Manson. So that should tell you how dangerous Al is
yes the case in NY was uncalled for and the law needs to give justice towards the death of that man but the ferguson case is completely different. That Micheal Brown had just held up a store and then attacked the law officer and the officer had to fight to keep control of his gun and therefore had to shoot the young man in self defense
I agree…..I have seen all of it……
The one in Ny/NJ……Was out right murder….No doubt about that according to the Youtube video….
The one in Ferguson….Well I saw that youtube video also…And it seemed clear that that Brown was on drugs or drunk…or just out of his mind from Drugs?….But he had just robbed and assulted at the station…Then on to the next….He was a huge young man and I think he was actually out of his mind….If he had not tried to grab the gun….Things most likely would have turned out different…
I really think….]
Btw, how many bullets were fired from Wilsons gun?
And When Brown was shot….did he stay down or tried to get up?……or did he get up and charge the Cop?
Doesn’t the grand jurt decide about that?
They have all the evidence and witnesses from the event…
That should be fine…..Then if the Brown Family don’t agree…..They need to do what the prosecutors make us little people do…..Sue in court and pay attorneys a huge bundle for justice……
Al Sharptongue needs to shut his big fat pie hole and pay his back taxes or go to jail.
Dorothy I agree with you.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are the problem not the solution. Why is this idiot even still alive?
Here’s hoping Sharpton gets his race-baiting foolish mouth blown off in Ferguson.
THE PROTESTERS SHOULD MAIL $50 INTO REV AL THE SNITCH TO GET THEIR BATS AND STICKS FOR THE MARCH SUPPORTING THE NICE YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT WHO JUST LEFT BIG BROTHERS MENTORING WHEN MULTIPLE POLICE STORMED HIM BEAT THEIR FACES AGAINST HIS FISTAND THEN RIDDLED HIS BODY WITH BULLETS AS HE WAS PRAYING ON HIS KNEES WITH HANDS REACHING UP TO THE HEAVENS THE DEMOCRAT VERSION
I am so sick of seeing his face. And as always Re: The Michael Brown case, he only tells part of the story and lies about that. The said fact is that there will be very few peaceful demonstrations. The whole thing that sickens me is that people follow this idiot. And why isn’t he in jail He has been sidestepping 4.5 million dollars in back taxes but is still able to throw lavish parties and I could go on and on. It’s just absolutely unreal. And to the powers that be, Law Enforcement, National guard needs to be ready because it’s going to be bad. I would love to see Martial Law put into place but then your punishing the innocent but also protecting them too. Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states ” The privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended unless in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.. Who knows? I am just sick of it.
aS a civilized, law abide society we must turn to our courts and trust the citizens ion the jury to make the right decision. Rioting looting and race baiting will only lead to chaos, lawlessnes and the destruction of our society and nation. Sharpton is a danger to our country.
Al Sharpton, is racist, and a trouble maker. He should not be in Ferguson, stirring the pot.He has already gone against Darren Wilson. And the Grand Jury can take as long as they wont.It is not about the Ferguson police and he keeps barking about them. It is about Michael Brown, and Darren Wilson.I hope the Grand Jury do not take Ferguson’s treats to bring charges against Darren Wilson.
I agree, the grand jury will probably bring charges against the officer out of fear for their own lives.
That man should not be in this at all. He stirred up all he could in Florida and now he is in MO. Eric Holder had no right to even be making comments about this mess. Neither did his boss.
There’s going to be some people dead in this thing it’s going to be bad I think al Sharpton should be responsible for it, he is telling people go out and demonstrate he knows it not going to be peaceful, can’t understand why this person is not in jail or dead, 4.5 million in back taxes people with less go to jail over that
This man is a trouble maker…loves to hear himself talk….isn’t the brightest color in the box…..wants all the glory he can get….doesn’t care who gets hurt while he’s doing it!
Isn’t it a shame that a loud mouth blowhard can make threats of stirring civil violence if his wishes aren’t met; and no one will object and press charges against him!
There’s no way of knowing what all those scumbags have cooked up. Ovomit,Holder,Jackson,Sharpton and who knows how many other thugs have been so called organizing all types of horrible thing to happen all over the country. I am so lucky to live in one of the cities they will be destroying
I live in Indianapolis and we are on the list !

And Sharpton is not in jail for inciting violence because?
See “I’m Black: Truth Does Not Matter” at http://wp.me/p4scHf-5t.
When will he (Sharpton) go to jail for tax evasion? We would ALL be in jail if we didn’t pay our taxes!!!!!
BO supposedly told Sharpton, when he secretly met with him, to ‘stay on task’. I’m sure that, if asked, BO would deny saying that or that it was taken out of context or misconstrued somehow. I take the meaning of that message as BO wanting there to be all kinds of mayhem and rioting so he can call for martial law, and thus be complete ruler of the US.
BTW, who in heck appointed or elected Sharpton to any adviser position at the White House? How did that happen?
Sharpton is nothing but a race baiting racist who has gotten rich peddling his “it’s all whitey’s fault” garbage.
And if Ferguson is any indication, if blacks across this country think it is ok to loot and riot, then they will be facing the muzzle of a pistol, rifle or shotgun because the whites in this country have had their fill of this criminal behavior
