Congressional Black Caucus: Ferguson Decision a Slap in the Face to Blacks

[Roadrunner]

WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Congressional Black Caucus Chair Marcia Fudge on Monday categorized a Missouri grand jury's decision not to criminally charge the police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown "a slap in the face" that underscores "an unwritten rule that Black lives hold no value."

Rep. Marcia Fudge calls Ferguson acquittal a miscarriage of justice cleveland.com

Oh my...Stupid is and stupid says. Does she not understand law?

The problem is not necessarily with the Ferguson decision; the problem is that the outcome is always the same when cops kill blacks, even when it is more than obvious that the killing was unwarranted and could well be considered outright murder. This happens in case after case, so the Black community is up in arms. It's not just about Ferguson and Officer Wilson. Wilson may well have been justified in killing this kid, but the feeling in much of America is that cops can do whatever they want and we are no longer safe from the police. They are more of a threat to us than they are protecting us. I'm white, and I don't trust any of them anymore. They believe they are above the law, and in one case after another, juries reinstate this idea that they are above the law by letting them get off without even being charged and having to face a real jury.

It is not always the same.
You just refuse to see the cases where cops are charged and tried.

Meanwhile, more blacks will die over the Thanksgiving holiday, shot by other blacks, than the total of all unarmed blacks shot by white cops in this century.

Get real. Brown went out looking for trouble and found it. He stole the cigars from the convenience store and grabbed the store clerk by the throat. He and his buddy then went out and walked down the middle of a street. He was extremely stupid. He should have known the store clerk would call the police. Brown was a stupid thug feeling his oats and was fortunate the store clerk didn't shoot him. It would have happened were Brown a white guy. If you look for trouble it will find you.

Where were they after the end of the OJ Simpson trial. Did they claim that was a slap in the face to white people?

The first problem is having a Black Caucus...Like their desires for the country are any different than ours?

Do you feel the same about the Congressional Prayer Caucus, The Tea Party Caucus, House Republican Israel Caucus, and all the other caucuses, or do you just think blacks shouldn't be allowed to have one of the long list of specific interest groups? Of course, I would never accuse you of being a disgusting racist, but it sure looks like that.

You got a link for the Black caucus calling for blood and Vengeance and STIRRING up more hate?
The voices in your head, or fox reporters need documentation for their claims too.

I've never heard of the other caucuses. Obviously they have a degree of irrelevancy that the Black Caucus doesn't have. So, if there are other special interest caucuses, the Black Caucus would be appropriate.
However, the members of the Black Caucus, I would think have a stature to keep. They should be, in essence in the image of ML King, the greatest man of the African American race. Never be race baiting, but standing above race as we would like all Americans to be.

That's why the comment of Representative Fudge was wrong. She did not listen to the facts of the judgment and the law that found Wilson "not guilty" of any crime. She was predisposed of guilt before the decision came down. For someone on that Committee and as a representative in Congress, that was wrong.

I as talking to someone and said something like that myself. I was the last person to be considered racist 8 years ago. I've worked with blacks all my life and had great friendships with them. But something has happened since I retired and now I don' see them anymore...just get the news. Obama has made us so divisive...

I's time like these and people like Holder that just make you so mad...all we see in the ghetto type now. We don't see the middle class good people. We have to remember that.

The Grand jury did not, and can not find anyone not guilty. This was not a trial. They only determine whether to return criminal charges. There were many irregularities in the way this grand jury was conducted, and there was certainly enough evidence to warrant a trial. There could have still been a trial where all evidence would have been presented, but the prosecutor behaved more as a defense attorney for the cop than a prosecutor. Fudge's remarks were certainly reasonable.

If you could, when you reply on the irregularities, let me know about the evidence against Darren Wilson. Thanks

Not to worry about the Black Caucus. They are totally without merit. They have as yet to do anything to aid the Black community except to get on television wearing hoodies and making stupid remarks that aid no one. They, like Obama, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson could care less about poor Black people other than for their votes. They are a joke on the Black community.

And negroes wonder why the other races on the planet despise them. It's impossible to have any rational conversation with them.
Billions and billions of the 'Maker's' money has been flushed down the toilet trying to help the negroes help themselves.
Nothing. Nowhere has worked.......EVER!
They just destroyed what was left of the shithole they live in.
Now the 'leaders' like the fucking race whore is going to demand the 'gubbermint' spend the 'Maker's' tax money to rebuild the shithole. You watch.

Ok, First off, this prosecutor has never gotten a grand jury to return an indictment against a single police officer. His loyalties were reasonably questioned from the start. His refusal to allow another prosecutor to take the case only added to the perception of unfairness.
Next, a grand jury decision is usually a one day affair where the basic facts of the case are presented, and the grand jury is only asked to determine if a reasonable jury might be able to find a guilty verdict after a complete trial. In this case, it was stretched out for months, presenting multiple witnesses. This never happens. The grand jury was overwhelmed with information in a highly irregular semblance of a trial without the rules of a trial, such as cross examination. It is almost unheard of for a defendant to be questioned before a grand jury. This guy testified for
four hours just before the decision was made. These are just a few of the irregularities that could make reasonable people doubt the fairness and validity of such a highly watched case. Even you must see that this looks like an effort to thumb their noses at the way any other grand jury would be conducted.
