Truth Revolt -- In an unabashedly self-referential speech to supporters in Ferguson, MO Sunday, activist and MSNBC news host Al Sharpton pulled out his best James Brown and shouted for justice in the name of Michael Brown.
To the screams of approval of hundreds at a "Unity Rally" at the Greater Grace Church in Ferguson, Sharpton discussed the video released by police showing an alleged "strong arm robbery" conducted by Michael Brown moments before his confrontation with Officer Darren Wilson that led to his death. "There's a difference between robbing and shoplifting," Sharpton proclaimed to a standing ovation of screams and cheers by the capacity crowd.
"I'm no drive-by activist. We'll be here until justice is achieved," Sharpton promised.
"I know they're gonna smear Michael, they may even try to smear the parents," Sharpton said, before turning the attention to himself and the explosive video of the robbery.[...]
"The tape I saw," Sharpton continued. "A young man who may have been shoplifting. There's a difference between robbing and shoplifting."
Blog author's comments - Sharpton knows precisely why Brown was shot, and that's why he drew the attention back to misdemeanor shoplifting. I’m sure it makes sense in his feeble mind. Shoplifters don't assault store employees. First of all, he wasn't killed because of the previous crime he'd committed. He was killed because he attacked a cop. Sharpton, when you physically assault the victim in the process of stealing something that's the very definition of "strong arm robbery." Shoplifting is when you stick something in your pocket and walk out with it.
The only reason Sharpton is in Ferguson, MO is to fuel the fires of racism and incite the looters and thugs as if they need any help from him. At any rate, Michael Brown wasn't shot because of the theft, which the officer didn't even know he was connected to at the time. Sharpton could at least try to sound factual about this if he wants to appear even remotely credible. This is how the left slowly destroys the rule of law and the civil society. No one is held accountable for their unacceptable behavior. Society is deprived of its power and authority to push back against the criminals and thugs who just grow stronger.
The police officer who shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO is getting the full George Zimmerman treatment.

What else would I expect from Sharpton. And now Eric Holder will do all he can to make sure the white police officer is found guilty. But, if this were a white man shot by a black cop would the people be trashing and looting? I don't think so.
