In short, Sliwa believes Sharpton is a scam artist masquerading as a minister and civil rights leader:
In the wake of all this failure, Al Sharpton was going to try to end Chicago’s plague of black-on-black crime. I was disappointed but not surprised when The Rev’s Chicago campaign petered out into nothing. Instead, “Slim Shady” has returned to his roots — blaming police brutality for spreading fear in the black community and not blaming black gang members who roll up with guns drawn and demand of other black males, “Hands up: It’s your money or your life!” Yet all Sharpton’s rallies, marches and protests will have no impact on the black gangbangers in the streets of Chicago who have declared war on their own community.
Back here on Staten Island, it would’ve been nice to hear the Rev. Al or any of the speakers recall the execution of two black undercover NYPD cops, Dets. James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews, just blocks away a few years ago by a black thug named Ronell Wilson. The cops were trying to take guns off the streets of the North Shore — that is, working to prevent black-on-black crime. Sharpton’s silence was deafening at the time of this execution of black police officers by a black thug.
So forgive me if every time I hear Al Sharpton scream out, “No Justice, No Peace,” I hear him saying it’s all about “just us” and getting “a piece” of the action for the lawyers in the police-brutality civil-rights business.
