Rangel says police tightened his handcuffs at immigration arrest
TheHill.com ^ | 10/11/13 | Rebecca Shabad

Posted on 10/12/2013 9:48:19 AM PDT by moonshinner_09

Rtightened his handcuffs. “I thought I’d be treated better ep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) said police who arrested him Tuesday by the Capitol Police than I was,” Rangel said on FOX Business Network Friday. Rangel was one of several Democratic lawmakers arrested by U.S. Capitol Police at an immigration reform rally on the National Mall.

“I think they were trying to help me, but the cuffs were so tight that when I said loosen up the cuffs — and I wasn’t cursing then — in an attempt to loosen it up, one of the rookie cops actually tightened it,” he said. “And then when I said would you cut the damn cuffs off and put on new cuffs, he told me he didn’t have a cutter. “They do the best they can under the circumstances, and it reminded me how other people who are not members of Congress can and should not be treated,” Rangel said. Democratic Reps. John Lewis (Ga.), Luis Gutiérrez (Ill.), Raúl Grijalva (Ariz.), Joseph Crowley (N.Y.), Keith Ellison (Minn.), Al Green (Texas) and Jan Schakowsky (Ill.) were also detained by Capitol Police at the rally. Nearly 200 people were arrested during the protest for crowding and causing disruption to streets near the Capitol complex.

I hope some of those 200 get deported. But it’s DC so I guess that hope is not going to be fulfilled.

““I thought I’d be treated better “

In other words....

“Don’t you know who I am??”

Yeah Charlie. We know exactly who you are.

““And then when I said would you cut the damn cuffs off and put on new cuffs,”

I would’ve replied “Shut up or we’ll charge you with resisting.”

I imagine a lot of people are cross right now at our present descent into third world ridiculousness. Even Capitol cops who have seen just about everything D.C. there is to see and somehow have resisted going to the looney bin over it. So yeah, Congresscritter, you’re just another trouble maker to us now. Git along.

Usually the only time Charlie feels something around his wrists is when his hand is in the taxpayers pocket.

If the cop could tighten them more, then they weren’t really tight to begin with.

Great example here you´ve given us, to cross barriers that the National Park people have set up to keep us out.

Cry me a river, Rangel, you miserable crook.
If Rangel was in the slammer like he should have been for his tax evasions he wouldn't be inconvenienced by tight handcuffs.

This fraud thinks they tightened them because he’s black. The truth is it’s because he’s such a FAT LARD. But isn’t that just how the FRAUDS ON THE LEFT ROLL.

Rand Paul’s immigration speech
03.19.13 | Hon Sen Rand Paul (KY)
Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
