Sharpton aide blasts NYPD escort for dead jogger’s parents – New York Post

An aide to the Rev. Al Sharpton raged against the NYPD police escort that slain jogger Karina Vetranos parents received to and from Queens court Tuesday for the arraignment of their daughters accused killer.

How dare [Mayor] de Blasio and the Police Commissioner allow the Police Department to protect this family? seethed the Rev. Kevin McCall of Sharptons National Action Network, after Chanel Lewis pleaded not guilty to various charges, including first-degree murder.

McCall had escorted Lewis distressed mother, Veta, to the proceeding.

We had taxpayer dollars used in the courtroom sitting as we speak, he griped. We had officers in the courtroom protecting the family.

We know they lost a loved one, McCall said of the Vetranos.But Chanel is the wrong one fingered for the murder.

Lewiss father Richard was accompanied by state Assemblyman Charles Barron.

Vetranos parents Cathie and Phil were still crying after the hearing as they walked down the block and got into a cruiser.

Other friends and family of the 30-year-old beauty piled into a police van.
