* The Congressional Black Caucus took over the House floor for an hour Monday night to discuss the shooting of Ferguson resident Michael Brown
* Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries led the charge and began his remarks by saying, 'Hands up don't shoot' 'It’s a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence,' the New York lawmaker said
* Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge called grand jury's decision not to indict Brown's white, police officer shooter 'yet another slap in our face'
* Texas' Al Green said hands up dont shoot 'has become the new symbol' calling attention to 'a movement that will not dissipate, it will not evaporate'
* 'Young people of color refuse to live in a democratic society in a state of fear,' Congresswoman Yvette Clarke said
'Hands up, don't shoot.'
Those were the first words out of Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries mouth last night as he and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus took over the House floor for an hour to discuss the August shooting of 18-year-old Ferguson, Missouri, resident Michael Brown.
'It’s a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence,' the New York representative said as he kicked off the speeches.
'In community, after community, after community, fed up with police violence in Ferguson, in Brooklyn, in Cleveland, in Oakland, in cities and counties and rural communities all across America.'

Bunch of clowns doing what clowns do.
Where da hoodies? Everybody wants to be a drama queen these days.
Getting stupid and ridiculous
that is unless you are a playa?
A hatred so ingrained, not even elections can relieve the pain.
They don’t represent me.. Or the rule of law.
Violent black thugs they won’t condemn.
But they will out police officers who enforce the law.
We can see clearly the values of Black America in the shameless conduct of its elected officials.
It is so much better to live a country where breaking the law just doesn’t matter. You can violate the constitution, immigrate to this country illegally, rob convenience stores, burn down neighborhoods, loot, go for a cop’s gun...the sky is the limit...apparently.
RE: They don’t represent me.. Or the rule of law.
Their constituents will continue voting them in regardless of what they do.
This is certain to attract more more middle class whites to the Democrat party!
Just imagine the morons who elected these morons!
We live in a representative republic indeed.
Completely devoid of intelligence and grasp of reality. If they want to show a true symbolic figure of problems within Black America they need to get rid of the hands up gesture and just drop to the floor to represent the victims of Black on Black crime.
Mind control works.
“It’s a rallying cry of people all across America”
No it’s not.
Lots of ignorant people serving in Congress these days.
Build a wall around their neighborhoods and pull the police out. Problem solved.
