The Rev. Al Sharpton has called the killings of five police officers in Dallas a “horrific, despicable” act.
But he argues that bad police officers need to be prosecuted in the deaths of innocent people.
Sharpton spoke during his weekly address Saturday to over 200 people at the National Action Network’s “House of Justice,” in Harlem.
He said the killings of black men by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota, as well as the Dallas shootings, have put the nation at a “tipping point.”
He complained officers have not been prosecuted in the deaths of innocent people.
He said rather than being “anti-police,” he wants to stop killings by “bad police.”
He was joined by Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who died in a police chokehold in 2014.

Come on, that must be a very old picture. He’s got to be pretty grey by now.
Love the circa 1986 pic of fat al! Good times!
he should be in jail for he is a crook
This increasingly frequent practice of using old and deliberately bad photos of those with whom the editoral staff disagree, whether in this case Sharpton or Obama or Hillary Clinton, detracts from YWN’s outstanding news coverage. It is childish and unprofessional. The news story should speak for itself.
hey fat al ? what about jewish men being killed by black men ? should they be prosecuted ?
To #4 kattan hadorah—really u gotta get a life. Trashing ywn for putting an old photo of this race bating rasha with blood all over his hands is ridiculous. If you want coverage that gives respect to this piece of trash click on cnn.com.
