mlb.jpgAs if most New Yorkers don't already hate Al Sharpton enough, he's planning on another Sean Bell protest — the last one blocked the city's bridges and messed up traffic — during the MLB All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium. New Yorkers might be used to horrible traffic, but, seriously, don't mess with their baseball. Sharpton & Co. say the protest will go as planned unless there is some move to pass legislation to curb police violence.

"We have plans to do the same at the All-Star Game," Sharpton said. "We will seriously consider suspending our civil disobedience if we can see some legislative action."

The legislation Sharpton wants passed would reform the Civilian Complaint Review Board, require drug testing after cops fire their guns and ban arrest quotas. What do you think about Sharpton's protests? Do you think they'll bring about change or are they just a nuisance?[NYDN]
