[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1516844, member: 12952"] One young protester, Josmar Trujillo, founder of the group New Yorkers Against Bratton, said Sharpton has not been helping younger activists pushing for police reforms in New York City. In a statement to Capital following Sharpton’s speech, Trujillo wrote, “In New York, specifically in the majority of the work happening in the last year, Sharpton's brand is largely seen as destructive at worst-- irrelevant at best.” Trujillo added, “This city voted in a self described 'progressive' mayor and city council, only to have Rudy Giuliani's police commissioner, Bratton, return to power. And who opened their doors to welcome him back? Al Sharpton and NAN." Trujillo also said, “As we move ahead here in New York, inspired by Ferguson youth, we're speaking truth to power. Sharpton, and others like him, are in fact much too cozy with power to fill that role. For the former informant to paternalistically admonish younger, more dynamic leaders by comparing them to 'hoes' is just another self-serving attempt to squash dissent as he wrestles for control of a movement that's leaving him behind.” [URL]http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/city-hall/2015/01/8561365/amid-tensions-sharpton-lashes-out-younger-activists[/URL] [/QUOTE]
