The Congressional Black Caucus is demanding that Attorney General Loretta Lynch immediately take action to prevent police killings with a nationwide crackdown on law enforcement.
"The world is watching and we cannot continue to ignore these killings," said Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., presenting the letter to the media Thursday while the entire caucus stood in support outside the Department of Justice.
The Congressional Black Caucus' letter urges Lynch to "aggressively pursue investigations, indictments and prosecutions through the Office of Civil Rights against any and all law enforcement officers who harm or kill innocent unarmed black men, women and children.

Rep. Alma Adams, D-N.C., whose district includes riot-ravaged Charlotte, said she is requesting on behalf of her constituents that Lynch use the full force of federal power to resolve the racially charged tensions between police and African-Americans.
Who runs Charlotte???? Democrats! I am all for what the Chicago Police are doing...withdraw from the South Side. /src on/If cops don't police black areas that eliminates the problem of police shooting "unarmed" blacks./src off/
How about the Congressional Black Caucus tell their constituents to stop believing a myth.
What about Chicago, Alma?
Man! I misunderstood this headline. I thought the Congressional Black Caucus was showing some good sense for a change . . . but, alas. The same old stuff. Silly me! I thought they wanted to do what works for Black communities - simply enforce the law.

I guess she does not realize it was a black officer that shot a black man who had a gun.
Or something like that.
Withdraw the cops and save some worthwhile lives
Send democrat politicians over there to sing kumbaya with the natives
Here comes the federalization of law enforcement. Not that we didn’t anticipate this.
how about a nationwide crackdown on violent neighborhoods instead?
Arrest all the poe-leece!
From the article: The Congressional Black Caucus’ letter urges Lynch to “aggressively pursue investigations, indictments and prosecutions through the Office of Civil Rights against any and all law enforcement officers who harm or kill innocent unarmed black men, women and children.”
Just black men, women, and children?
Well, nothing racist in that statement...
More petulant nattering from the victimization class.
What’s the directive in the people of color are armed?
How about the Congressional Black Caucus advise all blacks to follow the laws of the land, as all whites should do as well.
Stay far away from crime, and if you’re asked by the police to do something, comply. I believe it would solve many problems.
January can’t get here fast enough when President Trump starts cleaning the vermin out of DC.
Can you imagine if there were a “Congressional White Caucus”?
I don’t care what race/ethnicity/demographic - it’s unacceptable. It demeans Congress.
The feds have done so well with education and obamacare, let’s let them run the cops too. The constitution? never mind.
How about a crackdown on corrupt Congressional Black Caucus members?
The most lawless cities are almost all run by democrats, so why haven’t they gotten everyone to skip around carrying flowers yet as an example of perfect racial harmony?
Does the black caucus do anything but bitch and make up grievances and victimization-it seems to be their only function-otherwise, they are apparently useless...
