Eric Holder: Law enforcement challenging, vital, often thankless
The Washington Times ^ | October 27, 2014 | Phillip Swarts

Speaking to a gathering of police chiefs Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder said that the work of law enforcement is “often thankless” and “challenging,” but is absolutely “vital” to the U.S. and to the world.

“These sacrifices are too often overlooked,” Mr. Holder told the annual conference of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. “And I believe we do ourselves, our communities and our nation a grave disservice if we ignore these difficulties.”

Law enforcement officials, who the IACP represents, provide leadership in their communities, but must continue to address ongoing tensions like those in Ferguson, Missouri, the attorney general told the group’s annual gathering in Orlando.

How pathetic, Holder speaking about the rule-of-law to the IACP.

Comments after the article pretty much sum up Holder.

Law Enforcement challenging, often thankless

That must be why Holder would rather break the laws and ignore them instead.

What would Holder know about enforcing laws? He seems to specialize in ignoring them.

“...the work of law enforcement is “often thankless” and “challenging,” but is absolutely “vital” to the U.S. and to the world.”

Yeah, all true. But what’s any of that got to do with what Holder’s been doing for the past six years?

Yeah, and under Holder’s ‘leadership”, law enforcement is more deserving of contempt. He’s been far more involved in ignoring the law than enforcing it, and more involved in covering up political scandals than uncovering wrongdoing.

Please sacrifice yourself into oblivion, Mr. Holder. As soon as possible.

Dear Mr. Holder:

Thank you for lying under oath to Congress.

Oh, and thank you for trafficking guns to Mexican drug cartel murderers.

And also thank you for doing your best to inflame racial tensions and hatred against white people in general and violent agitation against cops of all races.

And a special thank you for turning a blind eye to corruption and lawbreaking at the IRS, the EPA, and any number of other Federal government agencies.

See? It's not a thankless job after all.

He was on a stop over enroute to Ferguson to apologize to the officers there. And then on to a free-mumia rally.

What’s wrong with the chiefs to have this guy speak?

Ran away is right, he’s afraid he might end up in the slammer.

I guess that’s why he hasn’t bothered to do it the past 6+ years.
