Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement Monday following his briefing of President Obama on the latest developments in the federal civil rights investigation in Ferguson, Missouri:
“As I informed the President this afternoon, the full resources of the Department of Justice are being committed to our federal civil rights investigation into the death of Michael Brown.
“During the day today, more than 40 FBI agents continued their canvassing of the neighborhood where Michael Brown was shot. As a result of this investigative work, several new interviews have already been conducted.
“Moreover, at my direction, an additional medical examination is being performed on the body of Michael Brown. This autopsy is being performed today by one of the most experienced medical examiners in the United States military. I am confident this additional autopsy will be thorough and aid in our investigation.
“In addition to updating the President on these developments, I informed him of my plan to personally travel to Ferguson Wednesday. I intend to meet with FBI investigators, and prosecutors on the ground from the Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney’s Office officials about the ongoing investigation.
“I realize there is tremendous interest in the facts of the incident that led to Michael Brown’s death, but I ask for the public’s patience as we conduct this investigation. The selective release of sensitive information that we have seen in this case so far is troubling to me. No matter how others pursue their own separate inquiries, the Justice Department is resolved to preserve the integrity of its investigation. This is a critical step in restoring trust between law enforcement and the community, not just in Ferguson, but beyond.
“In order to truly begin the process of healing, we must also see an end to the acts of violence in the streets of Ferguson. Those who have been peacefully demonstrating should join with law enforcement in condemning the actions of looters and others seeking to enflame tensions.
“To assist on this front, the Department will be dispatching additional representatives from the Community Relations Service, including Director Grande Lum, to Ferguson. These officials will continue to convene stakeholders whose cooperation is critical to keeping the peace. Furthermore, as the President has announced, Ron Davis, our Director of the COPS office, will arrive on the ground in Ferguson Tuesday. Ron has been in touch with local and state officials since last week, providing technical assistance on crowd control techniques and facilitating communications between Missouri officials and other law enforcement officials whose communities have faced similar challenges in the past.”
Translation: get whitey!
How about the civil rights of the store owners who were robbed or burned out?
But if the AG comes out with anything other than a indictment of the cop I'll pass out from surprise.
Before the last twenty years. Twenty years ago I'da never thought such a claim was possible.
never was racist prior to obammy and holder.
these two are gutter
The healing will begin after the lynching; all police officers’ bank accounts and medical records are being opened up to look for inconsistencies...
The entire PD should resign if the cop is charged.
Translation: That slippery white hispanic Zimmerman managed to slip through our fingers last time and we haven't forgotten about it. So it's not going to happen this time.
A third Autopsy? Really? What is dignity is left for this young man? Put aside his nefarious behavior, the Parents and the Feds were not satisfied with the 1st one? How much more “looking” can they do?
Let the brothers police themselves.
Every white male law enforcement officer in the country would be a bigger eye opener.
Black Americans didn't swim over here by themselves.
We are where we are because the GOP and Lincoln emancipated them, slaughtering thousands of Sons of the Founders in the process, and then refused to repatriate them back to where they were snatched from.
150 years later and American society has devolved into the GIBSMEDAT free stuff army, voting in marxists, redistributing taxpayer wealth , waging violent race war on the streets, and now bringing in reinforcements from central america to finish the job.
The Right either fundamentally transforms the country in 2016 right back to where it was before this degenerate communist son of a whore seized power, or it's over.
This is the last chance the Right is going to get.
NO EARLY VOTING
NO FELONS VOTING
VOTER FRAUD MINIMUM 5 YEAR SENTENCE.
THROW OUT ALL REGISTRATIONS, NEW NATIONAL VOTER ID CARD REQUIRED TO VOTE.
INVESTIGATE , INDICT, AND IMPRISON ALL SOCIALIST CROOKS IN THE CONGRESSIONAL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS.
ALL STATES RIGHT TO WORK.
NO COMPULSORY UNION DUES.
DEFUND ALL LEFT WING PNP ORGANIZATIONS
For starters
“During the day today, more than 40 FBI agents continued their canvassing of the neighborhood where Michael Brown was shot. As a result of this investigative work, several new interviews have already been conducted. “
How many men did the DOJ put on the Lois Lerner IRS investigation? How many interviews did they conduct of targeted conservative groups? Just wondering...
JFK didn’t get this many autopsies.
And FORTY FBI agents?!
To assure the cop gets a fair hearing, right?
Right?
They won’t rest until they find some poor white guy who happened to be jaywalking at the time everything was going down so they can charge them with something and make an example out of them, and that will make at least part of the country happy. This is what happens when you have people in a position of power who are more interested in protecting people who share their skin color than they are in maintaining law and order. And they call OTHERS racist!
I can’t imagine any terrorists that are here would let this “crisis” go to waste. While Obama/Holder-Nero golf and stoke racial hatred America burns.
After an internal auditor reported in May that the IRS was improperly targeting tea party groups for special scrutiny, Mr. Holder ordered his department to conduct a criminal investigation.
Eight months later, there have been no indictments and House Republicans have begun looking into the Justice Department itself.
Translation: If you’re a cop blacks get a free pass... just let ‘em go. If they loot, watch them... feel the powerlessness... The original shop owner didn’t call the police - he knew his place - he was already broken.
It’s a similar message Obama gave Border Patrol agents... they had to stop protecting the border - or else...
who is protecting the President? can they stop?
