Sharpton Confronted at Congressional Black Caucus over FBI "Snitching" - Video
Give Al Sharpton his due: If theres a rally for a cause he backs, hes there. He knows the importance of the public square.
What does this say about the mayor and police commissioner, who skipped Saturdays pro-NYPD rally in Staten Island? Organizers took pains not to be political.
They simply felt cops are under attack and aimed to underscore public appreciation for their work. Do Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton have something against that?
The rally had to do with honor and support for cops, said an organizer, Joe Brandefine. There was nothing political about it.
By showing up, the mayor and the commish wouldve sent cops an encouraging message: Their bosses have their backs. Their attendance wouldve resonated with the public, too.
Recall the context: the Rev. Sharpton held an anti-NYPD rally last month after the death of Eric Garner. He claims cops put Garner in a chokehold when he resisted arrest, causing his death. De Blasio and Bratton dont want to be seen siding against the Rev.
NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis claims Bratton cant get to every event. Mayoral aide Phil Walzak says no one should doubt the mayors strong support for cops.
But a draft report from the Civilian Complaint Review Board (under a new boss, Richard Emery, named by de Blasio) suggests something else:
It tars cops, as The Post reported Sunday, claiming they use chokeholds too often even though it cites just 1,128 chokehold complaints since 2009, out of more than 100 million interactions between cops and the public. Only 10 complaints, moreover, were substantiated.
Meanwhile, what can we expect from cops when they see their bosses afraid to stand up for them publicly?

"Stop police brutality!" and "No justice! No peace!" were some of the chants repeated by about two dozen protesters Saturday as they marched down Martin Luther King Drive in Jersey City.
The event was organized by the north Jersey chapter of the National Action Network, the organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
The protesters held signs, waved flags and at times held their hands in the air, yelling, "Hands up! Don't shoot!" a reference to the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old African American who was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August.
Carolyn Oliver-Fair, executive director of the north Jersey chapter of NAN, said the protest was part of a "united stand across the country" against prosecutorial and police misconduct.
"We're talking about unnecessary brute force," Oliver-Fair said. "Black and brown people are targets."
Localizing her issue, Oliver-Fair characterized the death of Lavon King, 20, who was shot and killed by Jersey City police on June 24, as an example of "warrantless" police force.
King, who had warrants out for his arrest, was shot in the chest by a police officer after he struggled with the officer and tried to take away the officer's gun in the backyard of an Ege Avenue home, police officials said. King was unarmed.
King "was shot for no reason," said Dannielle Davis, 19, of the protesters. Three Jersey City police officers on motorcycles and at least one police cruiser escorted the protesters down the roadway.
Yusef Chavers, 53, watched as the protesters marched pass Bostwick Avenue. A community activist, Chavers said the area's problems run deeper than alleged police misconduct, and include gang violence and a lack of job training and education.
"I think it's going to take more than the norm of people and politicians" to fix these problems, he said. "It's going to take young people with a sense of awareness ... to fight for ... an agenda."
