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.

The Black Cauci crooks know that the American people are on to them. Just a bunch of thieving, two bit crooks like Brown.

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!

He was afraid he would “tip over”...like Guam.

They need to be censured. This is intolerable. These people are perpetuating a lie, a pernicious lie.

Attacking a cop and trying to take his gun will not end well for you. In fact, attacking anyone and trying to take their gun will not end well for you.

How low on the IQ scale can the human brain go?

Zero. Death. Us or them. The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal/collectivist/socialist/totalitarian.

These people have the maturity of the thugs that were looting. About the same level as BO and Holder too.

Now I know why the bad guys, (and our “allies) laugh at us..

Hmmmm.....

Now that I think of it, why not co-opt it and work toward reducing the amount of warrants, no knock warrants and force them to use actual intelligence before launching all over kids, babies and shooting everyone’s dogs.

Further, SWAT engagements should be reduced to genuine threats of known violent thugs.

Most people can be acquired as they walk out their front door, arrive at work or on return to home.

There should be a piercing of sovereign immunity as well.

Fk up like regular Joe and you suffer the same penalties, if not harsher ones, due to their unique position of power and authority.

Unreal how any group could, with a straight face, turn a proven lie into the symbolic gesture for an ongoing so called civil rights campaign issue. They should be ashamed and embarrassed to perpetuate this fraud.

But it’s full speed ahead.

The solution is simple. Pull all police out of areas that are more than 50% black.

Problem solved.
