THIS SCUMBAG did not help by hijacking the Comey hearing
WASHINGTON >> For those who tuned into the congressional hearing on Hillary Clinton’s email use on Thursday afternoon, they might have thought at one point they had stumbled on the wrong channel.
U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, the state’s first African-American woman elected to Congress, questioned FBI Director James Comey about what the agency can do on what she called a “disturbing pattern in our country today.”
“This morning, we woke up to another graphic and deeply disturbing video that actually brought me to tears,” the freshman congresswoman said about the incident in Minnesota on Wednesday where black man was killed by police with his girlfriend and her young daughter in the car. “Just the other day, there was an incident in Baton Rouge involving a Mr. Alton Sterling, an African-American man who was shot while pinned to the ground by police officers. I think that we’ve got an issue here, an issue of real national security.”
Watson Coleman (D-12) went on to ask if the FBI had the resources to address the police-involved shootings.
“Is it not important that we say their names to remind people of the loss of a Tamir Rice, to an Eric Garner, to an Alton Sterling, to a John Crawford III, to a Michael Brown, to a Walter Scott, and even a Sandra Bland?” Watson Coleman questioned, referencing the names of African-American lives lost at the hands of police or in police custody. “Are these not happening at an alarming rate and is this not an important space for the FBI to be working in?”
In response, Comey described the police-involved killings as “incredibly important matters” and said the bureau has “sufficient resources.”
“As you know, the FBI spends a lot of time on them because they’re very important,” the FBI director told the congresswoman, noting the agency has opened a case on the Baton Rouge killing and is expected to be involved in the Minnesota shooting. “I believe the individual cases matter enormously but also the people’s confidence in law enforcement is one of the bedrocks of this great county of ours.”
Alton Sterling, a 37-year-old black man, was killed by police Tuesday in Baton Rouge while police had him pinned to the ground, cellphone footage shows. The following day, Philando Castile, 32, was shot dead in a traffic stop in Minnesota after he reached for his identification while telling officers he had a permit to carry, his fiance said in a video she filmed with her companion’s body lifeless in the seat next to her.
Both incidents have gained national media attention.
“We believe that our law enforcement is by and large of high integrity and has the desire to keep us protected and safe,” Watson Coleman said. “But when we find out that there are these occasions and when there’s an indication that there’s a pattern that is taking place in this country, we have a responsibility to ensure that everyone in this country is safe. And simply because you’re a black man or a black woman does not make you a target.”

THIS SCUMBAG weighed in at the Comey hearing
“We cannot allow black men to continued to be slaughtered,” U.S. Rep Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland) said. “This morning I woke up to my wife literally crying.”
Cummings urged the FBI director to tackle in the issue in his remaining time in the position.
“Mr. director, if you do nothing else in your 2,000-plus days left, you have got to help us get a hold of this issue,” Cummings pressed. “It is so painful.”

And how does the Stuttering Clusterfuck respond? By saying it's an American problem and getting into a gun control tirade.
What a fucking miserable POS.
Does anyone actually think that the lowlives involved in these shootings got their firearms legally? That kind of makes "gun laws" irrelevant, doesn't it?
This is on dimocraps. This is your manufactured race war. It's so important to them to make every single cop out to be racist any chance they get so they can continue to push their stupid narrative. I hope every last one of you chokes on your hypocrisy, except in order to do that, you need to have honor...of which you ain't got none.
