[SeeBS New York] The Rev. Al Sharpton has reportedly been told to stay the fuc& away from the funeral of a black man shot and killed by a white police officer in South Carolina.
The New York Daily News reports the family of Walter Scott has expressed they do not want the reverend, who has attended the funerals of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner in Staten Island, to attend the funeral.
Chris Stewart, the Scott family attorney, reportedly told the Daily News the funeral will be only for close family members.
However, a statement from Sharpton said the Daily News' story is "bogus" and "has no merit."
Sharpton said he has been invited to preach and lead a prayer vigil in North Charleston
"There has never been a discussion about me attending or participating in the funeral on Saturday, since everyone knows that NAN's convention with thousands of delegates is happening in New York and doesn't end until Saturday night," Rev. Sharpton said in a statement.
"I have not decided whether or not I will accept the invitation to preach in North Charleston and participate in the prayer vigil on Sunday. However, I am told the mayor and police chief have said that if I do choose to come they will attend the service as we seek healing and justice in these matters," the statement reads.
As an act of violence once again focuses the nation on relations between law enforcement and minorities, Rev. Sharpton said Wednesday that his civil rights organization will stand with the family of the black South Carolina man fatally shot by a white police officer.
Sharpton said he first heard about the shooting from the director of the National Action Network chapter there.
But Sharpton praised the police and mayor of North Charleston "for doing the right thing" in charging the officer, North Charleston Patrolman Michael Thomas Slager.
Earlier this week, Sharpton called for national reform on police conduct and said he planned to travel to Charleston in the coming days to visit the Scott family.
Slager was charged Tuesday with murder after video emerged that shows the officer shooting at Scott as he flees following a traffic stop for a broken tail light. Scott falls after the eighth shot. Slager has said he fired in self-defense.
The video shows the cop dropping an item near the body that could be the Taser, CBS2's Marcia Kramer reported.
New York was rattled by its own fatal encounter between a black man and a white officer last year. Garner was selling loose cigarettes when he was confronted by police and placed in a chokehold. A witness was recording with a cellphone camera, and the video showed Garner yelling "I can't breathe" as he toppled to the sidewalk and died.
Though he did not mention Garner by name, Mayor Bill de Blasio alluded to his death last summer on Staten Island as he discussed Scott's death Saturday in South Carolina.
"Once again, we are watching a video. It's a video that is so disturbing and so painful," the mayor said. "You can't watch that as a human being and not feel pain. It makes no sense according to what our core notions of humanity and decency and justice are."

However, a statement from Sharpton said the Daily News’ story is “bogus” and “has no merit.”
Of course he would say this. It would ruin his image (sarc). Sharpton is a racist gadfly who seeks out every race-hustling, race-baiting opportunity possible. If the opportunity does not arise, he fabricates one.
[Daily Caller] A bipartisan group of senators urged the Obama administration Thursday to investigate reports that businesses are using a visa program to replace American workers with cheap foreign labor.
The unlikely coalition, led by Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions and Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Labor and Department of Justice, asking them to investigate businesses, such as Southern California Edison, suspected of abusing work visa programs to avoid paying relatively high wages to American workers. Chicago Mayoral candidate Jesus "Chuy" Garcia come a bit too close Senator Durbin ?
SCE has reportedly been laying off hundreds of American workers and replacing them with foreign workers who hold an H-1B visa and are willing to work for lower wages. Some American employees are basically forced to train their foreign replacements.

Call me when they indict the CEOs and chief Human Resource officers for their actions. No 'deals', no fines. Indictments. RICO them so they can't take the money and run.
[Breitbart] Talk radio host and author of "The Liberty Amendments," Mark Levin declared that "the complete evisceration of American citizenship" is underway on Thursday.
"There's something else that's going on that I want to bring to your attention...and that is the complete evisceration of American citizenship, more than illegal immigration. It's the complete evisceration of American citizenship to destroy the identity of America" Levin stated.
Levin continued, "it's being done by left-wing states, it's being done by left-wing municipalities, it's being done by this left-wing federal government. And this is a war on you, the American citizen."
He added, "we even have some Republican candidates who are very soft on this issue and keep talking about, 'well we need to increase visas for high-tech jobs' when 25% of those who graduate from college with massive student debt, subsidizing Marxist professors, and the administrators who've gone nuts with their facility-buildings, they can't find jobs [or are underemployed], many of them want jobs, young people, they can't find them, because you have billionaires importing cheap labor from overseas."
Levin concluded that Democrats "seek to change the people, the electorate, in order to seize power for as long as they can hold it."

Always been the plan. Americans are too independent and aren't going along too well with the forced socialism and complete subservience to the government.
So they are importing people that will do that as fast as they can to outnumber those Americans that escaped the public indoctrination program.
