NY Congressman Hakeem Jeffries: I ‘Worry Every Day’ About What A ‘Bad Apple’ Police Officer Could Do To My Son

December 4th, 2014

By Mick Krever, CNN

U.S. House Member Hakeem Jeffries, a black congressman from Brooklyn, New York, told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday that he views some “bad apple” police officers as a threat to his son.

“I’ve got to worry every day about what could happen to him – not just from the robbers, but from a bad apple on the police department.”

His remarks came a day after a grand jury in the New York City borough of Staten Island decided not to indict a police officer who used a banned choke hold on an unarmed black man, which resulted in his death.

“I was really struggling as a father as to what to say to my older son in particular about what this verdict, or failure to indict, means in terms of his everyday actions on the streets of New York. I was actually comforted by the fact that I called and he got home safely.”

Jeffries called the decision a “stunning miscarriage of justice.”

In a few years, the Democrat Party will change it’s name to the Congressional Black Caucus.
