* The Congressional Black Caucus took over the House floor for an hour Monday night to discuss the shooting of Ferguson resident Michael Brown
* Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries led the charge and began his remarks by saying, 'Hands up don't shoot' 'It’s a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence,' the New York lawmaker said
* Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge called grand jury's decision not to indict Brown's white, police officer shooter 'yet another slap in our face'
* Texas' Al Green said hands up dont shoot 'has become the new symbol' calling attention to 'a movement that will not dissipate, it will not evaporate'
* 'Young people of color refuse to live in a democratic society in a state of fear,' Congresswoman Yvette Clarke said
'Hands up, don't shoot.'
Those were the first words out of Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries mouth last night as he and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus took over the House floor for an hour to discuss the August shooting of 18-year-old Ferguson, Missouri, resident Michael Brown.
'It’s a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence,' the New York representative said as he kicked off the speeches.
'In community, after community, after community, fed up with police violence in Ferguson, in Brooklyn, in Cleveland, in Oakland, in cities and counties and rural communities all across America.'

I’m embarrassed for my country at this point...
Hard to believe they were one play from beating FSU.
If we could consolidate our three major football programs here in Indiana, we probably would be respectable.
Call it InDue Dame?
Funny thing is--no.one.cares. It's a non-issue to the vast majority of Americans. Yeah, most current events are a non issue to Americans. But this issue really does not resonate.
It even bores me.
Too bad officer Wilson wasn’t present.
“DON’T ROB, MY STORE!”
disgusting!
If I wasn’t before I most certainly am now convinced some if not most of our elected officials are blooming idiots.
Only in America could a group of people (Liberals) make an obviously guilty criminal a superstar...and get away with it.
I’ll also give Barry 0 and Co. and A+ for increasing racial tensions.
LOL!
Do they know that Michael Brown did NOT hold up his hands and say don’t shoot but instead attacked the cop and attempted to take his gun?
Good training for when they get arrested. They should teach it to “their people”.
And then they wonder why they ‘don’t get any respect’ from the white majority. Until they lose the plantation mentality and take advantage of their God-given capability and the generosity inherent in our culture, they are doomed puppets in the hands of the professional race-baiters.
That's what forensic science would indicate, no matter what Wilson might have said. But if they believe Guam can capsize and man walked on Mars, their idiocy is truly limitless.
IIRC one reason that NYC's crime rate was in ballistic ascent prior to Giuliani was because the NYC police thought they had about zero support from the city gov't. Why would you take risks if the people who you are trying to help hate you? That is to say, no need to pull the police out of black neighborhoods, it should happen all by itself.
Your clown ought to be on the Great Seal Of Congress. And the gayness of the colors ain’t bad, either.
EVERYONE OF THEM SHOULD BE CENSORED. THEY SWORE TO UPHOLD THE LAWS OF THIS LAND.
