Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) told a gathering at Georgetown University that Officer Darren Wilson and Michael Brown were on “a collision course”, which ultimately resulted in Brown’s fatal shooting, because we have “not been invested in our nation’s infrastructure” and “because we have allowed collective bargaining to weaken.” “Darren Wilson and Mike Brown were on a collision course,” Ellison says in a video posted by the Georgetown University Campus Ministry last week.
“What brought them into collision was the economic abandonment of their city. It was the fact they have been bleeding jobs, through I believe, unfair trade agreements. It has been because we have not been invested in our nations infrastructure, it is because we have allowed collective bargaining to weaken.”

Wow! To a communist, nothing is ever due to personal choices made by individuals, it’s always vast societal forces and the economics of the wealthy that makes a kid decide to steal a cop’s gun.

Can’t bring himself to identify the real problem: The failure of liberalism in general — and of LBJ’s Great Society in particular.

The real problem is that technology has made most of them obsolete.

Idiocy based upon a lie.
Did he not get that even-the-most-corrupt-and-political DOJ couldn’t bring a case because it was open-and-shut that the black guy attacked the cop?

Ellison: "It was the fact they have been bleeding jobs, through I believe, unfair trade agreements."Great! So let's grant 7 million illegal immigrants the right to work in this country. That ought to fix it.

Collective bargaining? Between which two parties? Which is the organized labor, and which side is management? Or these terms meaningless in the context of racial strife? Who is selected to represent each side in these negotiations? Are negotiations even POSSIBLE?
