Florida Sheriff to Al Sharpton: ‘Go Back to New York, Mind Your Own Business’

Pinellas County, FL Sheriff Bob Gualtieri has a message for Rev. Al Sharpton: “Go back to New York.”

Gualtieri said Monday during a press conference to address the shooting of Markeis McGlock that Sharpton should “go back to New York” and mind his own business after he and activists visited St. John Primitive Baptist Church in Clearwater, FL, to press local leaders for action.

Sunday, Sharpton demanded Gualtieri, “Lock [Michael Drejka] up or turn in your badge.”

“It’s a bunch of rhetoric. I don’t pay much attention to it to tell you the truth,” Gualtieri said. “I wasn’t there, and I don’t really care what Al Sharpton has to say. Go back to New York. Mind your own business.”
