Jesse Jackson calls on Congress to pass anti-lynching law

Massive protests against police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd are expected to continue around the world on Sunday.

Some governments have expressed concern about the gathering of large groups in the midst of the pandemic. In Paris, police officially banned protests on Saturday citing fears of the respiratory illness, and U.K. officials urged people to stay home for the same reason. Both were ignored.Police use flash bang devices, pepper spray to disperse Seattle protesters

NBC affiliate KING-TV reported that a small group of protesters started throwing objects at officers about 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Police ordered the crowd to move, then used incendiary devices.U.K. health minister: Protests against police brutality "undoubtedly a risk" for coronavirus spreadin Minneapolis are"undoubtedly a risk" for increasing the spread of coronavirus, Britain's health minister said Sunday.

I say if a BULLY COP takes a life for nothing! Then it should be the same to that BULLY COP! Eye for a Eye! This is very fair to me! No need to protest and burn down your towns!

Sounding really stupid Rev. Jasse! An activist turned a puppet 😠

I'm actually okay with this, in part, as I think Government/Diplomatic immunity is wrong and it enables tyranny. We don't need a special anti-lynching law though, as it's already addressed in various hate crime laws.

maybe he should stop trying to lynch people

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Geez about friggen time

Good I for it ..

Rev Jackson needs to look at the bigger picture

Better call Paul

They are working on the anti-lynching law. They just need to iron out the language of what 'lynching' means.

Yet, this is the same Race Baiting Jesse Jackson that supports the murder of Black Civil Rights Activists, like Orlando Zapata Tamayo, by the Castro Socialist Apartheid Regime in Cuba.

RandPaul is attempting to obstruct the anti-lynching from becoming law. Why? Does this Trumpaholic believe in lynching?

don-the-con trump IS NOT a: lawyer, Catholic, Jew, Muslim, teacher, brave, compassionate, minister, doctor, ex-military, historian, scientist, literate, benefactor, honest, tax payer, trustworthy, farmer, loyal husband, decisive, law & order president, psychologist, nor physic.

I call on Congress to pass law requiring police demographics to be representative of neighbored they enforce, reflecting race of citizens exactly.

Just sayin🤷🏻‍♂️

How is it possible that lynching isn't illegal Honestly?

They can’t there is a white boy in the senate that needs to be ly**hed!

Don't know if this was the bill that if you cut or bruised it could be lynchings. Hope you check out Hodgetwins. There great

Blacks are murderers! Cops are racist. Only one of those statements is backed by fact and it ain’t the cops. Black commit the most murders in the US.

Why don’t you protest the fact that blacks are responsible for the most murders in the United States? All of them? No but they caused the most!

Again Why? According to Biden, real blacks are democrats. Democrats, who founded the KKK, were the lynchers would no longer pose a threat....right?

Isn't lynching aka murder already illegal.

Jesse Jackson sold out a long time ago. He doesn't represent me. He's worried about a lynching law because his neck is on the line for treason. No one has been lynched in this country in 40 years and this is his focus, gee I wonder why!? Guilty

That is Ridiculous.

It is a logical conclusion that Republican lawmakers who oppose anti-lynching legislation, RandPaul, are in favor of lynching. There is no middle of the road.

Wait I thought murdering some one was already against the the law. So lynching murder is different than a beating murder or gun murder.

It's tragically ironic that so many of the civil rights leaders who condemned the (Biden authored / Clinton signed) Crime Bill in the 90's (which resulted in 10's of millions being sent to prison) find it so convenient to embrace the very same political leaders today? Crazy..

Can the police still keep their guns? :O

Taxpayers should have to pay for the huge settlements incurred when rogue police officers violate people's rights and kill people in the streets. Make pol. departments pay to settle for murderous cops.

Many events happening now were foretold in the Bible. The turn of events is really shocking. The Messiah Must be coming 👇

It's way past time for this. It's disgusting to think that these statutes are just now being proposed. Get off your asses Congress & get this done.

Where is the National news Coverage for the white couple (Tuttles)in Houston TX killed by cops serving a falsified no knock warrant! Where is their outcry for change? Enough is enough! White lives matter, all lives matter!

Because there are still so many black people suffering in so much pain.

Wake up

Only thing Floyd protester's have done is left murder and destruction in their wake while turning a blind eye. What sympathy am I to have for that?

Rand Paul is the only one holding it up..

Does the Reverend hold services anywhere? Or, is he a Reverend like Dr. Phil is a doctor?

Garbage !

You mean to say there is NO LAW against that yet WTF... What century are you living in over there?

Not all cops are bad. But must make re evaluation for them.

Mr. Trump, at the moment, law and order are needed in the cities of the United States. There are some who use the protest to attack or kill or steal from others. Law and Order are very necessary.

PROTECT OUR GREAT AMERICAN POLICE FORCE--GATE KEEPERS FOR PEACE

Lynching law, making murder illegal again.

The police need physical readiness testing and a diet plan and I'm not talking about early onset diabetes.

Who is being lynched these days? What a useless law, just like gun control.

White power
