Margaret Kimberley · Black Caucus Protects Cops, Not the People

Most of the Congressional Black Caucus are “opportunists” who have “joined the neoliberals to derail any real attempt at challenging the devastating power of the police,” said Clarence Taylor, a professor emeritus of history a New York City’s Baruch College. Prof. Taylor is author of “Fight the Power: African Americans and the Long History of Police Brutality in New York City.” Brooklyn Black Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Queens Rep. Gregory Meeks are especially untrustworthy, said Taylor.
