===Tyisha Miller===
{{Main|Tyisha Miller}}
In May 1999, Sharpton, [[Jesse Jackson]], and other activists protested the December 1998 fatal police shooting of [[Tyisha Miller]] in central [[Riverside, California]]. Miller, a 19-year-old African-American woman, had sat unconscious in a locked car with a flat tire and the engine left running, parked at a local gas station. After her relatives had called [[9-1-1]], [[Riverside Police Department]] officers who responded to the scene observed a gun in the young woman's lap, and according to their accounts, she was shaking and foaming at the mouth, and in need of medical attention. When officers decided to break her window to reach her, as one officer reached for the weapon, she allegedly awoke and clutched her firearm, prompting several officers to open fire, hitting her 23 times and killing her. When the [[Riverside County]] district attorney stated that the officers involved had erred in judgement but committed no crime, declining to file criminal charges against them, Sharpton participated in protests which reached their zenith when protestors spilled onto the busy [[California State Route 91|SR 91]], completely stopping traffic. Sharpton was arrested for his participation and leadership in these protests.<ref>{{citation |title=Hundreds Protest Killing of California Woman by Police |work=The New York Times |date=May 11, 1999 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/05/11/us/hundreds-protest-killing-of-california-woman-by-police.html |access-date=October 22, 2010}}</ref><ref name="NYTCalifornia">{{citation |title=California Officers Cleared in Killing of Young Woman, Prompting Protests |work=The New York Times |date=May 7, 1999 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/05/07/us/california-officers-cleared-in-killing-of-young-woman-prompting-protests.html |access-date=October 22, 2010}}</ref> Sharpton referred to the special prosecutor, attorney general Bob Abrams, as "Mr. [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]".<ref>{{cite book|title=New York Magazine|date=July 28, 1997|page=30|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QegCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA30|access-date=September 3, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|date=February 1989|page=48|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YlMqQqOSlQMC&pg=PA48|title = Bonfire of the Inanities}}</ref>
