NYPD shooting victim’s family: Stay away, Sharpton!
By Lorena Mongelli and Danika Fears
The family of police-shooting victim Akai Gurley had a message on Friday for the Rev. Al Sharpton: Keep your “circus” away from his funeral!
The blowhard opportunist muscled his way into the arrangements — and even put out press releases promising to deliver the eulogy — without ever consulting the family or offering to foot the bill.
But Gurley’s relatives told Sharpton to stay away rather than turn the somber ceremonies into a spectacle.
“It’s been a nightmare,” Gurley’s aunt, Hertencia Petersen, told The Post. “He just wants to take credit for this when he’s never even contacted my sister [Gurley’s mother].
“Who made you the spokesperson of our family? We just want to bury our nephew with dignity and respect.”
Petersen was stunned that Sharpton and his National Action Network billed him as the eulogist for a Friday funeral, when they were planning on a Saturday service and wanted a speaker who actually knew Gurley.
“How can you do a eulogy for someone you don’t even know? It’s heartbreaking,” she said.

Slowly but surely the people are catching on about this charlatan, race baiter, race hustler, instigator to the destruction of communities.
It is nice to see someone call Sharpton's bluff.
If this is true, it is no surprise that Al Sharpton is a mess.
However, the main sites reporting this are conservative and the original source, TMZ, posted this update to the story.
4:30 PM PT -- Reverend Sharpton tells us he has questions about Hertenceia and her motives. He says, "I do not know that this Aunt has legal standing to speak for the family."
He adds ... "When Kimberly asked us for help we responded because she had legal standing as his domestic partner and the mother of his child ... who is the next of kin."
So I'll wait before condemning.
I was going to post a link but decided otherwise, the stories on this have become more ridiculous the further we go.
But, it appears we have enough reporting on the matter that Al Sharpton is out, probably a good thing so that the family can grieve in a way that does not involve the usual hatred that Al Sharpton goes with.
I'm confused, why not post the link saying he was out to confirm it? How is reporting what Al Sharpton officially said "ridiculous"?
Because one was TMZ, another was a FoxNews blog story, and the other was a Breit Bart story. At that point ridiculous was confirmed, but still good to see Al Sharpton was out.
You may not like the sources, but you can't argue their not true though. I mean, even TMZ get's it right once and a while, and deserve the credit.
You could be right, I just found the whole thing absurd in how this played out and who reported on it. Meanwhile the usual media suspects are suspiciously quiet on the matter.
I really can't stand to look at Al's emancipated looking face. He looked better fat! So smug he is!

Love it. Always quick to jump on the next tragedy to exploit for race baiting purposes.
Do we know any details about this victim though?
Did you mean emaciated?
Something is not right here - on Morning Joe last week there was a segment where Sharpton said he does not intervene and only goes because he is contacted by the family. Then Joe Scarborough defends Sharpton....In more "positive" news.

So who's lying - Sharpton or this family?
Yes. Typing from my IPad where it autocorrects everything!!!
