NBC race pimp Al Sharpton has decided it’s time to cash in on the shooting death of Mike Brown in St. Louis. Sharpton flew off to St. Louis yesterday to start up trouble, and is now demanding the release of the name of the office who shot Mike Brown on Saturday. The only surprise so far in this Mike Brown shooting is that Jesse Jackson has been rather quiet.

The Rev. Al Sharpton pressed police Tuesday to release the name of the officer who fatally shot an unarmed black teenager in suburban St. Louis, and he pleaded for calm after two nights of violent protests over the young man’s death.
Police said death threats prompted them to withhold the name of the officer, who was placed on administrative leave after fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, where the incident has stoked racial tension, rallies and a night of looting.
Investigators have released few details, saying only that a scuffle unfolded after the officer asked Brown and another teen to get out of the street. At some point, the officer’s weapon fired inside a patrol car, police said.
“The local authorities have put themselves in a position — hiding names and not being transparent — where people will not trust anything but an objective investigation,” Sharpton said during a news conference in St. Louis where he was joined by Brown’s parents.
