Four Democrats took to the House floor to display the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture that has come to be symbolic of the Ferguson protests.
Expressing solidarity Monday night with Michael Brown, the young man shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., were Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Yvette Clarke, Al Green and Sheila Jackson Lee.
Jeffries, whose district includes parts of Brooklyn and Queens, called the gesture and chant “a rallying cry of people all across America who are fed up with police violence.” Clarke also represents Brooklyn; Green and Lee have Houston-based districts.
