come together not matter what there race an develop a united front with community leaders like Rev. Al and some media types who are really on the side of the victims. We can't just sit back and allow this to continue to happen to anyone.

I hear and see a lot of comments from whites who think they are immune to this kind of treatment from law enforcement criticize Sharpton and Rev Jackson for always showing up when this stuff happens to blacks. Most of the time they are asked to show up by the families of the victims. If white victims would ask them, I am certain they would show up for them also. Jackson especially was a force for poor people, white or black, when he ran for President and as head of the Rainbow Coalition.

There is great force in numbers and society lends more credibility to charges of police brutality when whites are involved...sad but true.,
