Sharpton said in an interview that he was coming to Chicago at the request of Wright and daughter Jeri, who will serve as president of his Chicago venture.
Some activists see Jeremiah Wright's involvement with Sharpton as a logical step for a pastor who has also proven to be outspoken, even when it has put him outside mainstream African-American leadership in Chicago.
It appears that the Reverend Wright has brought in an antagonist like Sharpton and created an executive position for his daughter. That in and of itself could be a subject for later discussion. Wright will now be propelled as the leader of black ministers in Chicago with his allegiance to Sharpton and their crusade against police brutality thus stepping on the toes of Jesse.
Several pastors involved in the fight for greater police accountability said Jesse Jackson has not been aggressive on the issue and that Sharpton would fill a void.
"Jackson hasn't confronted this," said Acree, a member of The Leaders Network, a coalition of about 20 religious leaders. "That leaves this awesome challenge of dealing with police misconduct to us, the no-name local activists. I think Sharpton saw this as an opportunity."
Well it didn't take Jesse long to realize that he was being marginalized. You see fate smiled down on Jesse Saturday afternoon when Geffery Johnson died while in police custody.

"This guy was beaten to death -- naked, crippled in his own house," said Rev. Jesse Jackson of Operation Push. "Taken out of here shackled and handcuffed."

"This is unacceptable, mean and abusive. Those officers involved in this killing must face the stiff law of justice," said Rev. Jesse Jackson, Operation PUSH.
Well you have to hand it to him, its right out of Sharpton's playbook.

Wow,Phat Phil strikes back hard:
A Stalin purge? Sneed hears acting Police Supt. Dana Starks' first order of business Monday was to order the picture and name of former top cop Phil Cline stricken from the department's Web site.
Scoopsville . . .
Sneed has learned a paternity suit was filed against Starks in September 2000 by a woman who still works in a top position at the City Colleges of Chicago.
The request to establish parentage was settled in October 2001, when Starks was ordered to pay child support.
"That's a personal matter, and I don't comment on a personal matter," said Monique Bond, a spokeswoman for the police department.
Starks, who reportedly received his high school diploma by getting his GED, likes telling the story of how he was raised in the projects.
"He's a controversial guy with a lot of personal baggage which is well-known in the police department," said a source.
"Word is Mayor Daley hastily made Starks an acting police superintendent to alleviate any problem he might have with the Rev. Al Sharpton bringing his police brutality agenda to town," the source added.
"That is absolutely not true," a City Hall source said. "Starks will never be the police superintendent. He knows that. That's why he did not apply for the job. He is a place holder until a final choice is made."
Jesse its going to get messy.
Mayor Richard M. Daley endorsing the police?
"No. Historically, people don’t like police. . . . They like you when they come. But, they don’t like the results. You go on a domestic disturbance [call] and you have to arrest the husband, the brother, the uncle, they like you when you’re there. They don’t like you when you’re pulling ‘em out of the house,” Daley said.
“People don’t like to go see their mother, father, brother or sister at a police station. . . . You blame police for everything. Everybody blames the police. . . . If your kids don’t go to school, you blame the police. Everybody can blame the police for everything, but we all have to look internally in a mirror and say, ‘How can we provide a better way of life for our own children.’”
Phat Phil must be pissed that Dana took his job,lol
Word is Mayor Daley's interim police superintendent, Dana Starks, is minus an absolutely necessary piece of equipment that the last police superintendent had.
• To wit: Sneed hears Starks does not have FBI security clearance to share classified high-level information dealing with the FBI, CIA and Homeland Security.
• Translation: "This information can only be shared with people who have FBI security clearance," an informed source said. "The FBI would never withhold information to protect lives and property based on lack of security clearance. What the FBI could not do is share sources, methods or sensitive information from the FBI and other intelligence agencies."
• The surprise: Sneed hears Starks has had many opportunities in the past to fill out the necessary FBI security clearance paperwork and did not do so. Go figure.
Off topic:
Anyone else get a recruiting call from the Commander of the 12th District? How bad must it be over there if he is looking into Sgts histories and calling them at home asking if they are interested in going there?
OH MY,HOW WILL POOR LIL MATTIE CLINE GET PROMOTED TO LIEUTENANT NOW THAT THE BIG BAD BLACK WOLF HAS TAKEN DADDY'S PLACE?
PHAT PHIL'S SCHEMEING AND SUBVERTING OF QUALIFIED AND RESPECTED BOSSES HAS NOW BLOWNUP IN HIS FACE. HORRIBLE ALL THOSE YEARS OF TREACHERY AND DECEIPT,BACKSTABBING ALL GONE TO NAUGHT.
PHAT PHIL HAS FUCKED HIS FAIR SHARE OF WHITE BOSSES IN HIS EGOMANIACAL CRUSADE FOR POWER.
THE END RESULT IS PURE COMEDY
WHAT CONNECTION EXISTS BETWEEN PHIL CLINE AND EUGENE WILLIAMS?
JUDGING BY THE LAST TWO SNEED COLUMNS NOTHING IS BEYOND PHAT PHIL'S RAGE AND HUMILIATION.
I LOVE how Jesse used the word "shackled", leading to his 200+ years of oppression. Lets use that crutch again.
What a race-baiting jagoff he is. It is too bad the public doesn't see him for what he really is.
A HUGE RACIST!!!!!!!
But gosh, he can't be a racist in the same fashion that a black person can't be charged with a hate-crime in this county.
Listen , I am not a racist, but you cannot have it both ways.
can we get together off duty and march down Chicago Ave. enraged about the savage nation known as the ghetto? Can we be outraged at how we are treated on a day to day basis? or is that racist and we'd end up with a suspension or worse? Can we march against the two legged dog? Can we demand the churches, civic leaders, and ordinary citizens hold the overwhelming number of bad apples accountable and quit blaming someone else for their own short comings? Can we march against the idea that running from the police FOR ANY REASON is ok? Can we march against the idea that one can fight with and/or run from the police because they are "scared" and then hide behind will-o-mina auntie who enables this behavior? I dont know a single officer, white, black, yellow or other, who goes to work with the intent of doing ill will against some random black guy they have never met. That idea which is being spread like cheese over flaming hots and is a fucking joke which is being embraced by the "reverends" all over the ghetto. THAT is what we should march against. We need to give it right back to this bull shit "community" and demand that they be held to a normal standard. A march of recognition should be held to let the rest of society know how these savages really act. A march to show that it really is not the police, but rather the welfare sucking, gang banging, dope dealing, no job having, cranking out babies losers that make up a significant population west of Western! you want outrage, I say the POLICE are outraged! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! When can we be outraged? And when is it time to tell the "community" we are fed up? I guarantee that gets on the news. "POLICE HOLD RALLY TO PROTEST THE GHETTO". The brass is not going to say anything. And notice this isnt happening in Edison Park. Hmmmm but thats stating the obvious. ANyway, enough for now. As the mexicans say any time they have even the slightest beef with anything "MIRA, LETS MARCH!"
