Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) told members of the House Wednesday morning that he plans to honor the St. Louis Rams players who entered the field with a ‘hands-up’ pose in solidarity with protesters upset at the failure of the grand jury to indict Officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown's death.

Rams players Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt caused controversy after taking the field with a ‘hands-up’ pose during last Sunday’s game against the Raiders.

What a freakin' disgrace. Yeah, he and the rams. Don't confuse the issue with facts. So, will the ever affable eric the red dictate that any crimes committed by some people, shall henceforth be ignored so as not to appear racist? At least until the "correct" proportion of crimes is reached to reflect the racial make up of the country.

Green is sick and should be removed from office.

And the first thing the Speaker should do is Remove him from ALL Committee’s

[rktman]

That might work except that the sackless speaker won’t because, racist.

[Ray76]

Censure this clown. In fact, expel him. He is promoting a pernicious lie.

we should of picked our own . . . Oh never mind!

Green served as president of the Houston Branch of the NAACP for ten years ... which is where his loyalties lie, not to America. Friggin' commie.

failure of the grand jury to indict Officer Darren Wilson

I don't like seeing the word "failure" where it does not belong. An indictment is not a "success" and no indictment is not a "failure". The word non-biased word used should be that it was a "determination" to have no indictment.
