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 todays 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.
A piping hot take’: Adrian Peterson notes he too wasnt indicted by grand jury
Oh shut up, Dick
You wouldn’t live in a black neighborhood for anything
Trumka is a pimp!
I agree with your sentiment, but I had to laugh at myself, because neither would I.
I wouldn’t live in or within 50 miles of their neighborhoods.
Has he noticed the coloration of the guy at the top of "the System?"
Shut up you cretin Rich Trumka, stop fanning the flames of division. The people in your union want you to focus on workers’ issues not this political crap. When they’re on their way to work, they don’t want their road shut down by screaming protestors, and I’m talking about Pittsburgh.
If the citizens of this country want more Fergusons, all they have to do is keep voting for democrats. Lyndon Johnson (D) started all of the BS with his Great Society. Since then each (D) office holder greatly increased the welfare society. These same (D) office holders agitated people of color over the years simply to get their vote. Now we have a lying sack-o-$hit half black president (D) whose credentials are community agitation, supported by community agitating, race-baiting preachers (D) who have no churches. Also in support of the race-baiting are union leaders (D), who are either thugs like Trumka with his AFofWhatever, or members of the NEA, all (D). Cheerleading (D)’s in the national media and Hollywood provide cover for the agitation and in some cases agitate themselves. Keep them all in positions of power and America will continue to burn.
“The system isn’t color blind”, “the process doesn’t work”., “No justice, no peace”, “hands up, don’t shoot”. Can they dumb it down any lower? 5 words or less....
Trumka is the reincarnation of Stalin. If you doubt me, look up their photos.
Shut up Dick! When Americans want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out.
Who cares what Trumka says/thinks about anything?
That’s okay, run with it. you’ll be proven right in short order.

If these rioters burnt down a union hall you can bet this asshat would change his tune and have a bus load of his thugs in there kicking ass and taking names.....
Trumka, the filthy Communist can ESAD.
But you’re not the one talking like Dick T. I have friends who make similar stupid pandering statements, and trust me, they are the first ones out of the neighborhood.
And even the nonreligious ones somehow find it convenient to send their kids to Catholic schools
