Speaking on the House floor, members of the Congressional Black Caucus used the “Hands up! Don’t Shoot” gesture popular with Ferguson protesters reacting to the shooting of Michael Brown. “Hands up, don't shoot,” said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. “It's a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence.”

Please just ignore them. Give them no attention - it only encourages them.

It’s like posting to a troll. Just say no.

no it's not. It's the rallying cry of thugs everywhere who want to attack people with impunity.

They are just following the money. That’s the main reason the caucus is there.

That is a great start. Their hands are up, now cuff and frisk them, read them their Miranda Warning and lock them up.

Politicians should do two terms, one in office and one in prison.

It is exquisitely appropriate that the very Legislators who have approved of the Executive Branch’s complete disregard of the Constitution and Rule of Law should stand in congress and propagate falsehood...

No comment needed here. African-Americans have removed themselves from civilized American culture and society by their own choice They now stand alone on the Obama, Holder, Sharpton, CBC, NAACP, Democrat Party, economic/opportunity slavery plantation....where they will remain for many years to come!!! Just simply slaves and pawns of their own power hungry, greedy, Black racist masters!!! SAD....that there is no common sense and brains in the room!!!

I think we should pull out all the law enforcement officers from their contaminated Obamabot, criminal/thug neighborhoods...and let them police themselves!!! Let them rob and kill each other!!! End of story!!!

The more they do things like this the more it hurts them. Let’s hope they keep it up.

There is a very predictable way that cops everywhere are going to react to this “movement”.

I may be mistaken, but perhaps the hands up position should be made into a law for young black males.

Hands up means they are unable to play the “knock out game” and would show everyone they haven’t got a gun or a hammer or a knife.

Problem solved.

All young black males must have hands up in surrender position to both honor Mike Brown and allay the fears of whites in their immediate vicinity.

Not going to happen, but it sounds good.

I get a kick hearing people constantly say, “We should do this, they should do that” and on and on.

Not going to happen...zip.
