@nyrgravey9 and others - if you don't see the irony of calling people racist, then get upset when the same accusation is leveled at you, then tough. The protest was about demanding better police transparency and accountability. You and others wanted to deflect that to other issues such as "black on black violence" and personal attacks on the march leaders. Do we need to prioritize every issue by body-count? Then tackle them one-by-one? If so, we'd be working on poverty and healthcare - and nothing else.

'Counter protests' to an event that had almost no protesters? I think the fact that only a handful of people attended says it all.

Thumbs up to the residents of JC who ignored the race baiter Al 'Tawana Brawley' Sharpton and his 'protest'. Hey Al, drop off your check to the IRS on your way back to NYC. Pay your taxes like the rest of us.

Yes we attended the march, it was peaceful if sparsely attended. The only thing that marred the experience was Rev Al stepped on my husbands foot and carried on like it was nothing, when we took issue and sought an apology a man and woman in his entourage physically blocked us from approaching him.

I did not see any IRS agents, i'm pretty sure they don't work that way.

Sharpton's group to hold 'march against police brutality' in Jersey City

By Patrick McGovern | The Jersey Journal
on September 26, 2014 at 5:17 PM, updated September 26, 2014 at 5:18 PM

The North Jersey chapter of the National Action Network will march down Martin Luther King Drive in Jersey City on Saturday to protest what it calls ?police misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct, and police shootings in our city.?

?It?s open season on young black men,? said Carolyn Oliver-Fair, president of the North Jersey chapter of the NAN. The National Action Network, founded in 1991 by Rev. Al Sharpton, is a civil rights organization with chapters throughout the country.

According to Oliver-Fair, although the group is angry about the issues their communities face, the march will be peaceful.

?We need to come to the table and discuss these issues intelligently,? she said. ?We need to draw attention to these issues.?

In June and July there were three police-involved shootings in Jersey City, two of them fatal.

-- On June 24, Lavon King, 20, was shot dead by a police officer in a shed behind a home on Ege Avenue. Police said King was identified that day as being wanted on outstanding warrants. Police say the chase ended in King's death when King struggled with the officer for the officer's gun.

Last month King's family said they would be filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

-- On July 13, Lawrence Campbell was shot dead by police officers after he shot and killed a Jersey City police officer who was responding to a report of an armed robbery outside a drug store. Authorities say Campbell was wanted in a murder and that he told a bystander that he was going to do something that would make him famous.

-- On July 15, a man attacked a Jersey City police officer inside his marked vehicle this morning and was shot twice by police a block from a memorial for Campbell.

The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office said this week that the fatal shootings of King and Campbell are still under investigation and it has refused to release copies of their autopsy reports.

One goal of the group, according to Oliver-Fair, is to create a citizen review board in Jersey City. The board would be made up of civic leaders, human rights advocates and other grass roots organizers.

According to a press release, some of the goals of the march are ?building trust again? and ?unifying actions for the betterment of community safety.?

The march is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at MLK Drive and McAdoo Avenue. The demonstrators will go north on MLK Drive to Clinton Avenue, where the march will end at 3 p.m.

Supporting Tawana Brawley, who falsely claimed she was raped by a group of white men, smeared with dog shit, and left in a garbage bag-when it was patently untrue, smearing good men, is a pox on this scumbag. At least she was finally located, decades later, and has her wages garnished to pay the penalties the courts assigned her. It was hundreds of thousands of dollars, as I recall.

Not to mention his 'white interloper' racist comments which led to more racial strife in NYC.

Not to mention his not paying his 'fair share' ie his tax obligations, including Federal withholding tax. And I'm leaving behind the 'Reverend' committing adultery with a succession of women.

And we're supposed to take this charlatan seriously? The low information types do I guess. Do they identify with him?

I can't force you to read the original JJ piece and accept the aims of the march. You'd rather smear people than debate issues. Keep smearing Sharpton, you circle-jerking master-baiter.

@jcman8 - keep squeezing Monroe's penis. Keeps the blood flow to his brain.

When you cannot support your view, go to the personal insults. Sadly for you, it just shows you've lost the discussion, lol.

I actually did support my argument pretty clearly with the question - "what's your problem with the aims of the march?". But you'd rather deflect the question.

The only way I can tolerate your racism and stupidity is to have a bit of fun with it. I have a visual of you, DA, and JCMan8 - jerking off each other - to keep the blood flow pumping from your penises to your brains - CPR to stop you guys dying from your own idiocy. Priceless.

DTJC, I didn't delete it. It got deleted.

No one is arguing protesting police brutality is bad. And I don't agree with most of what Monroe says.

The overriding point is that police killing of black youths is singnificantly outpaced by killings by other black youths. That's a statistical fact. That said, Sharptons resources would be better spent focusing on the real issue as I just mentioned.

And morons who reply to that with "agh, scared old white guys" are too stupid to realize their ignorance helps to keep that fact alive.

WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT YOUR PROBLEM. We're too boring and uninteresting for that. We're too busy buying khakis and antiquing and that all dumb shit.

If you're going to protest in the interest of the black community, protest the gangs, and the lack of parenting. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.

So ...don't hold the government and public servants accountable because you have bigger issues to tackle first? Sorry - that's simply a dumb argument and a deflection.

Think of it as a surgeon who is about to operate on a patient with severe cancer. But rather than try removing the massive tumors sticking out of the patient's midsection, he spends his time trying to extract a small mole on the patient's forearm.

Bullshit analogy.

You wouldn't let a surgeon operate a mole - never mind a cancer - if you didn't trust them. That's what we're dealing with.
