Rep. Pressley: We Need Many Laws to ‘Affirm Once and for All that Black Lives Matter’

Pam Key 25 May 2021

Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Craig Melvin Reports” that lawmaker’s work “to affirm once and for all that Black Lives Matter” must go beyond the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

Pressley said, “Qualified immunity is an unjust doctrine that has been codified in statute after statute, that has allowed for law enforcement to operate with callous disregard for Black and brown bodies, with reckless impunity for our lives, without any consequences. George Floyd was brutally murdered. Why did that happen? It happened because we have to affirm the fact Black Lives Matter because our lives have not mattered. They have not been valued. There was no humanity, no grace extended or afforded to him. Black folks have been dehumanized.

“Consequently have been brutalized, surveyed, profiled, murdered, lynched,” she contended.. “So what would be the deterrent to that? We have much work to do beyond one bill.”

She continued, “There must be accountability, and we have to legislate that. We have got to keep the qualified immunity in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. It has to be maintained. It should not be watered down. it is one of the strongest and most important provisions of this bill. It’s how we’ll get to healing, and policies are the only receipts that matter in this moment, not hashtags and likes. What maters in this moment, is budget change and policy change.”

Pressley added, “The work that we need to do of affirming the humanity of Black lives to think it wasn’t that long ago that saving Black Lives Matter was considered a controversial statement. If folks are tired of hearing it imagine how tired we are of having to say it. The fact is that Black Americans and other marginalized communities have experienced undue harm for centuries because of what I would characterize as policy violence, not naturally occurring, very precise policy. And so the path forward, if we are truly in the midst of a reckoning, which means that we are reconciling with who we have been and who we continue to be, then we will usher in transformative bold change. We will codify the value of Black lives in our policies and in our budgets, and that is not just one bill. So I hope that my colleagues have the political will, the courage and the stamina for the work that is really going to be necessary to assert and to affirm once and for all that Black Lives Matter and to give families the accountability and the healing that they deserve. I just want us to pass laws that are going to keep Black Americans and other marginalized communities alive, period. That is about making investments in communities to meet the most basic needs.”

This has nothing to do with Black 'oppressions' or equality.
The sole purpose of this is to elevate a single race into a 'special elite class', granting them special considerations, benefits, and immunity which is above that which ordinary citizens would receive.

She needs to go back to Chicago, from whence she came.

If they eliminate qualified immunity, public safety officials will need malpractice insurance if the government expects to have a staffed police force.

"We will codify the value of Black lives in our policies and in our budgets"

... thus, the next $hakedown has begun.

Let me see if I understand this correctly,ok? Since it is an established FACT that "human lives matter" is an accepted truth,this yahoo is claiming blacks aren't human and need special consideration to keep people from hunting them for sport?

Ummm....(b)lack lives don't matter.

So long as they're attempting to establish political ascendancy by National Socialist style street violence, their lives are forfeit as far as I'm concerned.

And otherwise, no, the lives of the thugs they keep bringing up as their next incarnation of Horst Wessel aren't important either.

Thug Martin was a punk kid trying to kill someone on the streets, and got his dumb ass shot as a result.   Doesn't matter to Americans, that boy.  This minor incident spawned the heretofore undiscovered race of white hispanics infiltrating the US to murder black juvenile thugs.

Thug Mountain robbed a convenience store of cheap cigars, and then assaulted a police officer in an attempt to steal the officer's weapon.  He returned for a second encounter and refused to stop, and was justly shot by the officer.  This incident prompted the Knee Grows to invent the lie "Hands up, don't shoot".

Single Ciggy Boy in New York, I forget his pointless name...Eric Garner...decided in his advanced state of heart disease to fight with the police.  As a wrestler, he was fat and out of shape.   Hence coined the silly phrase all Knee Grows now use when handcuffed by the po-lice "I can't breathe".

Some drug dealer got his neck broke in a police wagon.   No big loss.

Then some drug addict self-medicated himself into an overdose and just happened to die while being taken into custody. 

Society would benefit greatly if more of these creatures died before being brought to trial, to be honest.   

Their lives are a total waste and don't matter at all to anyone, especially not the parasites riding their corpses to political power.

Only Black Lives Matter.  Let's be clear....

Kudos to Sled Dog for your honesty.
Can't disagree with any of it.

Clear as day, the game is a particular class of people will enjoy privileges denied the other classes of people in society.  that will invoke viscous violence in our society and do much of the work, socialist and muslim terrorists tried and much failed at.  The is part of the basics of tearing a society apart with riots spreading everywhere, that democrat socialists have toiled so hard for and thus far mostly failed at..  With denial and lies the beasts of our day rule more and more over us, to our societies detriment.

A ban on aborting black babies should do it.

Correct.  They tell you that.  They want to make white people slaves or genocide us.  Most, don't even know their own history!  Anthony Johnson, created slavery in America about 1630. isn.  He was black. Black businessmen, had black and white slaves. BARBARY COAST.  Millions of white slaves by black muslims.

@christian

This is why that enormous racists,LBJ created his "Great Society" program. He is on tape gloating when it is passed into law,and claiming "The Democrat Party will now OWN the bleep vote for the next 100 years!"

This is no secret,yet it is totally ignored by the history books and all the tv shows about "the black struggle".
