Congressional Black Caucus denounces Ferguson grand jury
The Politico ^ | November 24, 2014 | Kendall Breitman

Posted on 11/25/2014 12:37:16 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus on Monday called the grand jury decision not to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson a “slap in the face” for those seeking justice for the death of Michael Brown

“The Ferguson grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown is a miscarriage of justice,” CBC Chair Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) said in a statement released after the decision was announced late Monday evening in Missouri. “It is a slap in the face to Americans nationwide who continue to hope and believe that justice will prevail.”

“This decision seems to underscore an unwritten rule that Black lives hold no value; that you may kill Black men in this country without consequences or repercussions,” Fudge’s statement continued. “This is a frightening narrative for every parent and guardian of Black and brown children, and another setback for race relations in America.”(continued)

"From what I can see, judging from the likes intelligence level of Sheila Jackson Lee and her buds in the CBC, they are no better than the thugs firebombing their own town. Just better dressed."

And they looted their wardrobes from the American taxpayers, because they sure didn't earn them!

Although they know, they’re just playing the only card in their deck.

Yup

I am sorry, but I thought I read a number of African American eye witnesses verified the police officer’s account of things.

Further, what about all of the forensic evidence that was overseen by the locals and the feds that verified the eye witnesses and the police officer’s account.

These people should be going after certain media who gave a few bone headed people a chance to speak without verifying their stories first.

They live in the world of delusion where facts do not matter. How else does one support such failed systems as Communism which ignores human nature? Such delusions have murdered millions of people to push a system that does not comply with reality. To oppose the truth is to open the door to tyranny.

In making such a racially biased statement, completely ignoring the evidence, the CBC has lost whatever credibility it might have had.

The CBC is a racist organization having no place in our Congress. I suggest a Congressional White Caucus be formed to counter this racism, & function until such time as the CBC disbands.

Conservatives need to call out these racists, shunning them as you would the KKK or the neo-Nazis. Their goal is advancing their race at the expense of other races, especially whites. Their motives are corruption & greed.

Disassociate yourself from these people. Refuse to share a venue with them. Make you disgust public.

A pile of cliches and tropes. "Black lives have no value.. Police are occupying forces...." etc. etc.

If these clowns ever came up with something original, I think I would faint dead away from shock.

The collective IQ of the congressional black caucus is 72. Never seen a dumber, more ignorant group anywhere.

“...... a “slap in the face” for those seeking justice for the death of Michael Brown.”..........

Michael Brown GOT his justice the day he decided to take on a cop with the capability of shooting him down in the street like the “mad dog” he was. Justice was served, get over it.

I see their point. Even the Constitution says they have 3/5's the value of a non-black person!

Earlier this a.m. Fox News reported that the Grand Jury’s decision was unanimous,

***************

Curious, did Fox News allude to how they knew that the decision was unanimous
since grand jury actions aren’t public.

For going with the evidence and not the black agenda, they are castigated by the congressional black caucus. Nice! Real intellegent!
