The Rev. Al Sharpton said Sunday that “the fight ain’t over” in the wake of the grand jury declining to indict a white police officer in the killing of black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
Speaking Sunday at a church in St. Louis where Brown’s funeral was held in August, Sharpton said the resignation of Officer Darren Wilson is not enough.
“Reporters started calling me, saying the officer had resigned from his job and said that he hopes it would lead to healing the city,” Sharpton said. “But you can’t heal leaving the injured out of the process.”
Brown’s family still has “open wounds” from his death, Sharpton said, and that “taking his job” was never the objective of protesters. They want a federal investigation.
“It was not about Darren Wilson’s job. It was about Michael Brown’s justice,” Sharpton said. “Because we saw Michael, their son, as if it could have been ours. And we are not giving up. We said from the first rally – we didn’t trust the local grand jury.”

“We lost the round, but the fight ain’t over,” Sharpton told the congregation on Sunday. “You won the first round, Mr. Prosecutor, but don’t cut your gloves off, ’cause the fight’s not over. Justice will come to Ferguson.”
Sharpton was referring to St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, whom critics say didn’t try hard enough to convince the grand jury to indict Wilson. McCulloch’s father was a police officer who was killed in the line of duty by a black man.
But McCulloch says he offered every piece of evidence and every witness he had to the grand jury to allow its members to make a decision on whether to prosecute.

It’s these lowlifes like Al Sharpton,that ruin society. These takers takers takers, want to take even more.
I hope that justice will be served for people like him who incite riots.
Now is the time to open an investigation into this Hot Air Bag Troublemaker into his non tax payments and the millions he owes the IRS. He is rubbing elbows with The Clown with the big ears in the White House. By making noise hes trying to deflect the attention the Feds were on the way to him.

Funny, I don’t recall Sharpton saying anything similar to the families of Ron Goldman & Nicole Brown, after OJ Simpson WHO WAS BLACK sliced their heads off and was “found” innocent of ALL charges! What is the obsession with everything this piece of dirt has to say?
“Its these lowlifes like Al Sharpton, that ruin society.”
While Sharpton is indeed a lowlife — Steven Pagones is still waiting for an apology — in three decades of public life he has not managed to ruin anything other than his own reputation.
