Letters: What's Al Sharpton doing in this story?

IHAVE some questions regarding the recent article about the school police officers allegedly holding down a student and beating him:

Why is the president of the Philadelphia chapter of the National Action Network and Al Sharpton getting involved?

Why is it that whenever something negative happens to a black person it is turned into a racial matter?

What about the poor Asian students who were physically and emotionally attacked by black students simply because they are Asian?
