Wow - complete ignorance. Im sure I will take flack for saying this, but.....we teach people how to treat us. If this Congresswoman is so concerned about the amount of young black men stopped by police, perhaps she should look at why that is happening and focus her efforts on what she can do to offer better opportunity and education in our inner cities. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus took to the House floor this week in protest of the grand jury decision in the shooting death of Michael Brown. Some made the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture. Sean Hannity tonight took on CBC member, Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, asking her if she read the evidence heard by the grand jury. “I did not, and that is not a concern,” she told him. “The evidence isn’t a concern? What?” he asked. Holmes Norton said the larger concern is that police stops for black Americans have become routine. “This is an opportunity for a conversation between police departments and their own communities,” she said. Hannity asked her, “Evidence isn’t a concern if you’re going to take a position on a case? In other words if Michael Brown didn’t rob the store, intimidate the clerk, if he didn’t fight for the gun and charge the officer…” “I’m a lawyer, I have not read the transcript, I haven’t read the transcript because my interest is not in what happened, my interest is in what should happen, where we go forward from here. That is my interest, thank you very much,” she said
