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.”

Just when I thought the respect for congress critters could not get any lower.

I forgot that there is no lower limit for dim-bulb-crats.

We should remember this as we locate hiding liberals following CW-II.

Thank Saddam Hussein.

I don’t understand these marxists. They want heavy handed, centralized, big government and they pass heavy handed, celtralized, government growing legislation. So, we know that the LOVE laws, but still claim to hate those tasked with enforcing the laws that they pass...

Who do they think is going to serve my warrent when I refuse to pay the obamacare fine? Who do they think will carry the guns to keep the subjects in line?

Democrat hypocricy stopped being humorous long ago....,

Interesting that now even congress members are echoing a falsehood about the Ferguson shooting. How far down this path of misinformation are we going to go???

The Congressional White Caucus needs to come out with the symbol for “pants up, don’t loot” -

belts & suspenders.

If Brown had put his hands up and said “don’t shot” we wouldn’t be having this conversation today.

What about the large part of America that are getting sick and tired of black violence. What a bunch of morons, and they’re part of the reason the thugs are so out of control...never held to a standard, unless it’s a low standard or no standard.

Their “culture” exists and is promoted by the left as a counter to Western (Christian) Civilization.

“It's a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence.”

Except it's based on a lie...

One has to wonder how much police violence there really is when the rallying cry is based on a lie.

Black leaders might accomplish something good for black communities by telling black youth to be polite and respectful when confronted by policemen.

A Republican should offer the Grand Jury documents into the Congressional record. In time, memory of those documents will disappear.

It is childish and worthy of mocking.

Kids play cops and robbers all the time. Most of us grow up.
