Sure he isn’t.

National Action Network President Al Sharpton praised New York Mayor Bill de Blasio at his organization’s annual Martin Luther King Day affair Monday.

He also admonished the media for its reporting about his organizing tactics during the height of the Ferguson and Eric Garner protests.

“We are not anti-police,” Sharpton said. “We respect police who put their lives on the line every day,” he told the crowd packed into NAN’s Harlem headquarters. “Our quest has always been about police reform not police deform. We don’t want to deform the police department where they don’t effectively fight crime and don’t effectively protect citizens.” […]

Sharpton then went after those who say that de Blasio is too close with him.

“Unlike the popular view, Bill de Blasio and I don’t agree on everything,” Sharpton said. “We didn’t want a flunky—we wanted a mayor and we got a mayor that would talk to us and respect us and we are grown enough to deal with a person who can disagree with us but respect us at the same time.”
