Al Sharpton encourages demonstrators to keep protesting, but 'keep it nonviolent'
[BIZPACREVIEW] Left-wing activist civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
 had a "message" for social justice demonstrators who have been protesting after a Kentucky grand jury’s decision on the case of Breonna Taylor.

The MSNBC host urged activists to "continue protesting" during an interview Thursday with anchor Hallie Jackson, but as downtown Louisville descended into a second night of protests, sometimes turning violent mostly peaceful, Sharpton suggested that people keep the demonstrations "nonviolent mostly peaceful."

"My message to the protesters, and many of them I worked with, is to continue protesting but keep it nonviolent mostly peaceful," Sharpton responded when Jackson asked for his message to those demonstrating in Louisville, where two officers were shot during riots Wednesday after the announcement on the Taylor case.

"You do not want to become like the people we’re fighting," Sharpton added.

"And also, turn your pain into power, vote," he said, suggesting that activists hold a "voter movement" against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who represents the state of Kentucky, claiming that "that would send a message."

"It won’t bring justice, it will send a message," Sharpton said.

Last weekend, angry protesters had descended on McConnell’s home to complain about his decision to move forward with nominating and confirming a Supreme Court justice, filling the vacancy left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg last week.
