CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS BRINGS 'HANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT' TO THE HOUSE FLOOR
by CHARLIE SPIERING
Speaking on the House floor, members of the Congressional Black Caucus used the “Hands up! Don’t Shoot” gesture popular with Ferguson protesters reacting to the shooting of Michael Brown. “Hands up, don't shoot,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. “It's a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence.” “It was a John Carlos moment,” pointed out Rep. Al Green (D-TX) “Because this has become the new symbol, a new statement, a statement wherein people around the country now are calling to the attention of those who do quite understand that this is a movement that will not dissipate. It will not evaporate.” Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) criticized the “attacks” by the Ferguson police department. She says they demonstrated “an assumption that young women and men who are African-American are inherently suspicious, a false assumption with deadly consequences.” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) praised the St. Louis Rams players who raised their hands prior to Sunday’s football game. “Let me say that I also admire the young St. Louis Rams players who raised their hands, to be able to share in the dignity of those young peaceful protesters,” she said.

Sheila Jackson lee comes to mind as the bottom indicator. Or the guy who thought the island would tip over
Pants up don’t loot.
How is it that an openly racist clique is allowed to parade it’s racist agenda in the halls of Congress without censure?
Not only are these people stupid, they are reprehensible. No doubt they are stirring up passions that will result in further violence. All for political gain.
Stupidity is running rampant
LOL! Oh I remember that one, Hank Johnson, talking very slowing as the wheels creaked in his head..yes the over population will tip over the island lol lol
Did any one of them pay one tiny bit of attention to the grand jury, you know, the rule of law?
There have been legitimate instances of police misconduct. Would that such an instance could be the basis of their movement instead of one based on a lie.
LOL! Perfect!
LOL!!!
Which means the CBC farmed the video to the press.
They know it’s a lie.
Cesspoolology the solids always rise to the surface. The drek of this nation are here for all to see
These people have the maturity of the thugs that were looting. About the same level as BO and Holder too.
Oh those silly Negroes and their sense of humor. Gatta’ love’m.
As a pastor said on Fox today. "They are glorifying ignorance".
Hank Johnson was unable to fully participate as it took him over twenty minutes to decide whether to stand or not ...and once standing and five...as to which hand to raise first!
