Al Sharpton had a lot to say about the Eric Garner decision on this week's Saturday Night Live cold open.
Sharpton (Kenan Thompson) explained that the uproar over the grand jury's decision to not indict the police officer who killed Garner has led the public to finally take Sharpton's criticism of the legal system seriously.

"This must be what it feels like to be Beyonce," Sharpton said.
Sharpton then invited a guest onto the show, only to not let him speak. A second guest toldSharptonthat the the footage of Garner getting choked should have been filmed diagonally: "It's just more cinematic that way."

The family of police shooting victim Akai Gurley had a message on Friday for the Rev. Al Sharpton: Keep your circus away from his funeral!
The blowhard opportunist muscled his way into the arrangements and even put out press releases promising he would deliver the eulogy without ever consulting the family or offering to foot the bill.
But Gurleys relatives told Sharpton to stay away, rather than turn the somber ceremonies into a spectacle.
Its been a nightmare, Gurleys aunt, Hertencia Petersen, told The Post. He just wants to take credit for this when hes never even contacted my sister [Gurleys mother].
Who made you the spokesperson of our family? We just want to bury our nephew with dignity and respect.
Petersen was stunned that Sharpton and his National Action Network billed him as the eulogist for a Friday funeral, when they were planning on a Saturday service and wanted a speaker who actually knew the victim.
How can you do a eulogy for someone you don`t even know? Its heartbreaking, she said.
By late Friday, Sharpton finally accepted the rare defeat though he blamed it on confusion and division within the Gurley family.

He said he will not attend Saturdays 11 a.m. service at Brown Memorial Baptist Church in Brooklyn and even backed off the Friday wake.
