Al Sharpton Kidnapped

Sharpton urges calm during probe of LAPD shooting

I saw that headline on CNN and thought that he must have been kidnapped and switched with someone that wasn't the captain of knee-jerk reactions and anti-police demonstration.

"There cannot be a knee-jerk reaction when we will always say the police is right," he said. "There cannot also be a reaction, knee-jerk in the community, saying they're always wrong."

Whoa. What? Is that Is it Halloween and the Easter Bunny decided to dress up as Al Sharpton? What is this? Next thing you're going to tell me is that the Space Shuttle will actually launch sometime this decade and then I'll pass out.

Weird.

Well he seems to be mellowing with age I guess. If this was 15 years ago he'd be like "riot riot riot".
