Eric Holder orders additional autopsy on Michael Brown. Wait… what?

Attorney General Eric Holder called for another autopsy to be performed on slain black teenager Michael Brown, whose shooting by a white cop in a St. Louis suburb has sparked violent protests that left a man critically wounded early Sunday.

“Due to the extraordinary circumstances involved in this case and at the request of the Brown family, Attorney General Holder has instructed Justice Department officials to arrange for an additional autopsy to be performed by a federal medical examiner,” Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement.

what is there about the death of Michael Brown that makes this a federal case? If you sweep aside the wall to wall media coverage and celebrities flocking to Ferguson, this is a case of one person who was shot during a confrontation with a local police officer, allegedly on the heels of a low dollar value robbery at a convenience store. Nobody crossed state lines that I’m aware of.

That’s certainly the most famous “federal autopsy”, whatever that is. And you and I could have done better than that one.

What you can deduce from this concern over Michael Brown, is that neither the former Senator from Illinois, obama, nor Chicago's traveling agitator, jackson, cares about the dozens of innocent blacks slain weekly in their shared hometown. In fact, not much concern has been voiced in the last six years over the deaths these innocents has been muttered by other influential blacks like, holder, ogletree, hyphen-perry, sharpton, lewis, cummings, and more - substantially every influential black liberal.

Reporter: “What extraordinary circumstances?”

Holder: “Racist black people run the Administration!”

The Rats handle autopsies the way they handle vote counting — just keep reviewing until you get the results you want.

he was hit 6 times in front!

must have been on pcp to keep coming at the cop!

I doubt that four 9mm bullet strikes to the arm of a charging 300 pound guy -- just running on his natural adrenalin -- would stop him immediately.

The head shots were the ones that likely stopped Brown.

Notwithstanding what the "expert" Dr. Baden said, I think the general idea is to neutralize the threat, and that requires that one keep firing until the threat is neutralized (or one runs out of ammunition). If Brown was still running towards the officer, the correct response was for the officer to keep firing. He would have had no idea if his shots hit his target or not.

The sodomite regime needs to insure the autopsy comes out exactly the right way so as to keep fueling the riots, the right autopsy could cause the rioting to spread at just the right heated pace and last throughout the election cycle, because everyone know this is all Bush’s fault.

"The DOJ needs to preform an autopsy on Lois Lerner’s computer."

Someone better watch the body too...after Holder gets the desired autopsy, it could disappear.

Medical Examiners are a handy tool to have in your box of tricks and have been essential in several infamous cases, but unfortunately they don't always survive them.

Fortunately for the ME, this case doesn't appear to be one of those.

I have a Ruger 9mm with a 30 round magazine that I take when I go 'downtown' to the VA and it suppliments the Ruger 380 that I always have in my pocket. (I'll not become a Reginald Denny)

I bought my first three guns the day after the Reginald Denny Incident.

they can autopsy the body 30 times but they’re still not going to find bullets in the back and they’re still not going to find the deceased was on his knees either


They will fake it.

LBJ murdered JFK—who stole the 1960 election from Nixon.

Ford was a key man in producing the lying Warren Report.

Carter was our first aggressively pro-abortion, pro-Soviet President.

Clinton was/is a pervert, lying, perjuring, thieving pro-Chinese traitor.

Etc.

We have had a long series of traitorous criminals in the White House. And we have had NO President in the last forty years who has done one-tenth as much as he could have to get the states to nullify Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, etc.

Not surprisingly libs are claiming the original autopsy was faked, and are saying as many autopsies as needed have to be done until the “truth” is found.

I don’t think there’s necessarily any expectation or plan to “find” anything different. I think what this does is give them a perceived official “informed” standing to render an interpretation of the wounds that skews more favorably to Brown.
