AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka issued the following statement in reaction to the grand jury decision in the shooting case of Michael Brown:
The reactions to today’s grand jury decision in the case of the shooting of unarmed teenager Mike Brown reflect a deeper feeling that our justice system is biased against communities of color. While we can all agree that justice must take its course, we cannot deny or marginalize the perception that the system itself is not yet color blind. As a labor movement, we have begun working with local community organizations to address issues of racial and economic inequality that surround Ferguson and so many other neighborhoods like it. We will continue that work. We are dedicated to supporting organizing efforts that reinforce unity, healing and fairness in policing while working to heal the rift between the Ferguson community and law enforcement officials.
"our justice system is biased against communities of color"
What an odd statement.
I am biased against thugs like Trumka.
Tell Trumka to put out some signs on the street in Ferguson saying: “Now hiring, paying union scale wages” and see how many of the rabble-rousers and looters sign up.
I still can’t get past my perception that Trumka is a moron...
Go to hell, Trumka. You are vermin.
Bring in some more illegals, Trumka. Show us how much you care about black American workers.
I could not care less what this fat-ass union thug thinks.
the only people who don’t get any enhancements if they are atacked are white males. everyone else gets special multipliers if they are attacked.
the only people that can legally be discriminated against are white males.
wtf is this moron talking about.
A good example of how the misperception of bias is perpetuated.
Trumka is going to need a Plaster on the back of his neck with all the sucking up
What we cannot deny is the system worked in Ferguson and the Left us never happy when it does and it interferes with their political agenda.

How can you be colorblind when one of the colors continuously misbehaves and creates havoc and division for the other colors?
It has nothing to do with color, or race, Trumka. It’s about whether Judeo-Christian values are passed on to, or are accepted by the next generation, and generations to come.
Screw you, Trumka...What about those illegal aliens you want to give amnesty to that are taking jobs away from US citizens, many of them black unemployed?
I love these rich old white men who think that if they make a popular statement it will put them in good stead with the other races.
If they all just pay them union dues, we’ll all be drinking that free bubble up and eating that rainbow stew;)
Dear lil Dick!
NO ON is COLOR BLIND
its just that a lot of us dont care.
its a SOCIAL thing
