People being good citizens with assisting police make arrests? Reverend Al Sharpton isn’t too happy with this program.<\/p>\n

A police association is jumping in to encourage legitimate citizen involvement. The Sergeants Benevolent Association is offering to reward $500.00 to good Samaritans who assist police officers with making arrests. <\/p>\n

Additionally, a New York state senator is recommending legislation that protects people making citizen’s arrests. If this legislation passes, and gets signed into law, a second incentive open up to encourage legitimate citizen assistance to the police; reduced liability. <\/p>\n

Reverend Al Sharpton is not having any of that. From the New York Daily News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“Golden’s attempt to codify this regressive legislation that resembles some of this country’s most shameful Jim Crow laws, is despicable and will be fought at every measure,” Sharpton said. “We are emboldened to act and resist this blatant and poorly veiled attempt to devalue the lives of black and brown people and put them into the hands of civilians.” <\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

“This attempt to exacerbate vigilante violence against black and brown people and now monetarily incentivize that violence is unconscionable,” Sharpton said in the statement. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If Al Sharpton is so concerned about minority lives, there are places he could go to, and audiences he could address. He could start in places like Chicago, where black on black violence shows lack of regard for minority lives.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen videos of police facing danger, and even one where a police officer was killed. <\/p>\n

Let’s see, someone breaks the law. This someone is dangerous; the police attempt to apprehend the individual. The individual proves to be too much. Enter the good Samaritans who could legitimately assist with the apprehension.<\/p>\n

Citizens decide to help those that represent the community. This is about law enforcement, and keeping the peace.<\/p>\n

Al Sharpton appears to be advocating for Thugs\/law breakers. We need more programs like these, just like we need law abiding citizens with a concealed and carry permit… Ready to responsibly use their firearm to protect their own lives as well as that of others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
