Rev. Al Sharpton Says Harvard Professor Arrest May Have Been “Abuse of Power” - Video 7/26/09
Here is video of the Rev. Al Sharpton today weighing in on the arrest of Henry Louis Gates last week and saying it may not be a case of “racial profiling,” but rather a case of “abuse of power” by the officer.
Sharpton repeatedly pointed out that the charges against the Professor were dropped, assuming that means there is not merit to the arresting officer’s case. Sharpton denied the professor had engaged in racial profiling by assuming the officer was a “racist” from the time he arrived at the professor’s home.
