I was simply addressing the fact that Al Sharpton will march for anything. In this last event, there was no need for the black commmunity to go insane and boycot white owned stores. The NYPD does a great job and that is the reason NYC is as safe as it is, im not sure if you can, but I remember the 70's and 80's in the city. The NYPD may not be perfect and may make some mistakes (some really bad ones), but to discriminate against the whole NYPD and give them a color (blue, as Sharpton did) is ridiculous. The black community needs to understand that the NYPD isn't out to get them, but there to protect and serve.
