Sharpton Responds to the Filing of Charges Against NYPD Sergeant in Garner Case

 

(NEW YORK, NY) – The following is a statement from Rev. Al Sharpton, President and Founder of the National Action Network: 

“This is a glimmer of hope but certainly just a first step on the road to real justice. In order to truly grasp how meaningful this is, we must know exactly what departmental charges this officer is facing. 

“But we must be clear, everyone involved should be held accountable, all those responsible ought to pay for their actions. We will address this in detail at the Saturday action rally.” 

The rally will be held on January 9, at 10 a.m., at the National Action Network headquarters, located at 106 West 145th Street in Harlem, New York.
