Hands Up Gesture by Rams and Lawmakers a Pathetic Ruse to Divide the United States

Recently members of the St. Louis Rams and also some members of the United States Congress made a mockery of the decision made in Ferguson, Missouri not to indict Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown.  In an obvious attempt to incite and divide, many people have used an unproven report of Brown's "hand up" to justify protests alleging to be about police targeting and brutality of African Americans.  Is this an act of responsibility or gross irresponsibility as an American citizen?

The pristine nature of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence innately binds Americans with a covenant to honor the flag and the rule of law.  It denotes that we will stand as Americans and the greater good of the nation.  At the heart it means that we are to be separate from the carnal portions of the world that delve into self inflation and apathy.  We, as common folk and lawmakers, are to be unifiers and not dividers of this great nation.

As for the lawmakers, there were several unworthy individuals bent on inciting the public who took to the floor of Congress with "hand up" gestures.  New York's Hakeem Jeffries and Yvette Clark along with Texas' Sheila Jackson and Al Green all puffed up their support for the rebellious action of the St. Louis Rams' "hands up" gesture on the field.  Right or wrong this is completely irresponsible for any lawmaker to do.  They are not being impartial and patient nor are they honoring or trying to understand the decision of the justice system.  No lawmaker should ever give in to frenzy in order to score points.  Leave the scoring points to those like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.  Your job is to unify the nation and understand all points of view before making any decisions.  In my opinion these members of Congress should have been chastised for their reckless behavior on the floor of the Congress.
