The Rev. Al Sharpton was convicted of disorderly conduct Wednesday for his role in protests following acquittals in the police shooting of an unarmed black man.
Sharpton and seven others were each sentenced to time served and ordered to pay a $95 surcharge by a New York judge, MNBC-TV reported. In Sharpton’s case, time served amounted to 5 1/2 hours.
“If you decide to take a bullet for the team, you should not complain about the consequences that flow from that,” the judge said.

Al sharpton is the biggest piece of trash this world has ever known. You don’t see white people holding protests when a black man kills a white man, but when a white man kills a black man, it’s protest city. AL SHARPTON, YOU ARE GARBAGE!
Al is NOT garbage! If is weren’t for people like him, many black people would be in jail right now.
I’m not the biggest Al Sharpton supporter But,I feel that this was something to protest, the NYPD do have some gun happy cops and the Sean Bell killing was senseless murder.If officers are that scared they are in the wrong line of business. And to Mr.Kevin I am a New Yorker who has never been arrested never got in trouble But, at age 12 had 2 officers pull there gun on me while I was on my way to the library to do a school report now if you or kids was in these types of situations or seen this behavior on a daily basis you to would agree that officers are gun happy and peaceful protest are needed to bring awareness to these situations.
