NEW YORK — The Rev. Al Sharpton called Saturday for more protests over Tyre Nichols’ death — and urged that they be peaceful, saying that violent protests will only “help the police get away with what they did.”
“What (the police) want to do is see violence and say, ‘This is why the police have to do what they did. You see how out of control they are?’” Sharpton said at his House of Justice in Harlem.
“Don’t play into the narrative and see how that would help them defend what they did,” Sharpton urged protesters.
