Rev. Al Sharpton called for national policing legislation akin to the Civil Rights Act this morning at the kickoff his National Action Network's annual convention, just after the arrest of a white South Carolina police officer for murder in the shooting of an unarmed black man.

"There must be national policy and national law on policing," Mr. Sharpton said. "We can't go from state to state, we've got to have national law to protect people against these continued questions."

No we don't need federal legislation, Al. And there won't be any.

FWIW, I joked about Federalizing the police.. Doing that would be a big disaster.

There are already laws against murdering someone, and as we can see it, covers everyone equally.
