Black people don't need Al Sharpton to tell them to get angry
Whenever there is a tragic shooting of a young black man Al Sharpton inevitably shows up. Some conservatives instantly criticize him and say he is a race baiter, publicity hound, or camera chaser. They make these comments of the fact that most times Sharpton is actually asked by the families of the victims to come in as in the Michael Brown situation.They make this statements as if African Americans are incapable of getting angry unless told to do so by black leaders like Sharpton. - See more at: http://www.africanamericanreports.com/2014...

@ Bro. Cook,
..."Any black parent would and should be mad at the shooting of Michael Brown."..,
Let's go deeper, any human being should be mad which is why you see ppl like the 90 yr old Holocaust survivor being arrested for protesting over the injustices. MLK stood for all God's children ... We need to do the same.
St. Louis—In the second week of protests over the shooting death of Michael Brown by a police officer, St. Louis Metropolitan police on Monday arrested nine protesters for blocking the entrance of a state office building.
Among those arrested was Hedy Epstein, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor who lives in St. Louis.
"I've been doing this since I was a teenager. I didn't think I would have to do it when I was 90," Epstein told The Nation, as two officers walked her to a police van. "We need to stand up today so that people won't have to do this when they're 90."
Roughly 125 protesters marched to the entrance of the historic Wainwright Building, which houses Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's downtown office. They demanded Nixon withdraw National Guard troops from Ferguson municipality, where peaceful protests throughout the week were disrupted by late night riots. The protesters also called for a special prosecutor to lead the investigation of Brown's death, as well as an expansion of the Department of Justice's existing investigation to look into patterns of civil rights violations across North St. Louis County.
