Rev. Al Calls for DOJ to '€˜Take Over Policing,' '€˜Going to Have to Fight States' Rights'
2015-05-02
[Breitbart] Rev. Al Sharpton called for the Justice Department to "take over policing in this country" and stated "we're going to have to fight states' rights" in comments recorded by the Baltimore Sun on Thursday.
'Fight states rights?' Lost nearly 700,000 KIA last time, wat you got in mind Al ?
Sharpton said, "we need the Justice Department to step in and take over policing in this country. In the 20th century, they had to fight states' rights in -- to get the right to vote. We're going to have to fight states' rights in terms of closing down police cases."

He added, "police must be held accountable. I don't think all police are bad. I don't even think most are bad. But those that are need to be held accountable."

#5  Why Sharpton and liberals want their own police force PART 2.

New reports have revealed that Al Sharpton agreed to become an informant for the FBI after they confronted him with videos of him meeting with an undercover agent who he believed was going to sell him drugs.

These new claims contradict the story that Sharpton told when his informant status was made public earlier this week.

Sharpton said that he was threatened by mobsters who felt that he was competing for their handle on the music industry, but new documents made public by The Smoking Gun show that the FBI had tapes of Sharpton trying to buy cocaine from an undercover agent.

In 1983, Sharpton met an agent who was posing as a former South American drug lord and was trying to arrange a way for the man to launder money through boxing promotions that the Reverend could arrange.

At the second of these two meetings with the undercover agent, Sharpton was confronted with the tape of his earlier meeting when he was talking about buying 'pure coke' from the 'druglord'.

#4  Why Sharpton and liberals want their own police force PART 1.

CRAWFORD, Texas – A driver for the Rev. Al Sharpton led Ellis County Sheriff's deputies on a nine-mile chase at speeds up to 110 mph before state troopers stopped the car, authorities said.

The driver was rushing Sharpton to the airport after his visit anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan (search) on Sunday at her camp outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford.

The car carrying Sharpton and two other passengers was clocked doing 110 mph in a 65 mph zone on Interstate 35 in Ellis County in North Texas, said Lt. Danny Williams.

The car ignored deputies' attempts to stop it and continued speeding and weaving in and out of traffic before it was stopped, Williams said.

Calls Monday to Sharpton's spokeswoman were not immediately returned. A spokesman for his attorney, Michael Hardy, referred inquiries to the spokeswoman.

Deputies arrested Jarrett Barton Maupin (search), 43, of Phoenix. Maupin told the officers he was hurrying to get Sharpton to the airport. Deputies impounded the rented 2005 Lincoln.

Williams said his officers offered Sharpton and the other, unidentified passengers a ride to a hotel across the highway, but they declined and walked there instead.

Maupin posted a total of $1,000 in bonds on charges of evading arrest with a vehicle and reckless driving.

#3  That has been tried already. The Gestapo did an excellent job of policing those that spoke out against the state.

#2  So, when you use the Border Patrol to do exactly the opposite of securing the border, you really think a national police force is going to protect your rights Al? Given that your political faction is already being moved further back on the bus for Hispanics? Google - ethnic cleansing Compton
