The Rev. Al Sharpton and Ben Crump are taking up their first case involving a White person who was killed after being shot during an encounter with a police officer.

The civil rights leader and the high-profile attorney, who Sharpton has dubbed"Black America's Attorney general," deemed the police shooting of 17-year-old Hunter Brittain"one of the most significant" cases in the fight to push Congress for landmark police reform legislation. Attorneys Crump and Devon Jacob, along with Sharpton and representatives from the NAACP, were invited to attend Brittain's memorial on Tuesday at Beebe High School in Beebe, Arkansas.

Davis then shot Brittain three times, the statement says. Jordan King, 16, told CNN affiliate KATV he witnessed the shooting. King said he and Brittain had been changing the transmission in Brittain's truck at the auto body shop. When they left, King told KATV, Davis pulled them over and Brittain placed a blue oil jug behind the truck's tires to"stop it from hitting Davis' car.

Of course they are. Race baiting ain't gonna pay for itself, homeboy!

Ummmmmmm. Money

This has been my argument since all this BLM and just the escalation of Police shootings for years. Why is anyone getting shot period I applaud to those who have made the awareness of black killings by Police but that same focus needs to be inclusive to all effected by murder.

If they win wouldn’t that disprove “systemic racism”?

Trump is no longer in office so racism is no longer a hot topic…these race pimps have to supplement their income one way or another.

While police power abuse is most assuredly class and predominantly racial in targeting it is in the end all about abuse of power and created by the'leaders' in government at all levels!
