Fox's "The Five," a weekday opinion show, featured Panamanian-born journalist and political analyst Juan Williams this week who slammed Al Sharpton for conducting a post-Ferguson press conference but doing nothing to stop the riots, reports the Daily Caller.

"I mean I first of all, when the trouble starts, where is Al Sharpton to say to people, "Rioting is not in the best interest of the black community. It's going to take away from the discussion about justice and all the rest..." Williams said to "The Five" roundtable.

He continued, "But now he's there when the cameras are there, and what's he doing, but to my mind disparaging [Ferguson prosecutor Bob McCulloch] after the fact. I have arguments with McCulloch. But goodness gracious, at this point, I think he's- self-serving?"

"Michael Brown is his new Tawana Brawley. He used Tawana Brawley ..." talk show host David Webb said.

Meanwhile, TIME reports Sharpton and the National Action Network hosted a "bonding prayer" Wednesday for the families of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, who were both recently killed in confrontations with police officers.

"Not only do they share pain of being victims of police conduct," Sharpton said. "This will be their first Thanksgiving with an empty seat at the table"

Garner was held in a chokehold by a New York City officer who claimed he was resisting arrest, and died.

Brown's family not only suffered the loss of their son, but disappointment resulting from the grand jury decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson. Wilson fatally wounded the unarmed 18-year-old.

"We hope that when people pull up to their tables on Thanksgiving, they pray for these families," Sharpton said during the bonding prayer.

Sharpton also said he hopes Brown and Garner's deaths "birth a new way" of handling police conduct and race relations.
