Eric Holder is instituting the same process in Ferguson Missouri he used in Sanford Florida. The civil rights wing of the DOJ is dispatched into Ferguson. They are officially called the “Community Relations Service” (CRS), and historically -in previous administrations- have been called upon when racial animus is a concern amid a local municipality.
However, under the Eric Holder tenure, and as a specific mandate of the current administration, the CRS has been given a different mandate. The CRS is a statutorily protected secret entity within the DOJ, and is now the official racial advocacy network for the professional black grievance industry. As witnessed in the Trayvon Martin case the CRS now use their federal expense accounts to purchase venues for protest, contract audio/visual needs, purchase signs and professional media materials and purchase hotel rooms and coordinate airline flights and travel accommodations for the professional agitators. Many of the CRS professionals are within the AME network.
We would be remiss if we did not point out the CRS was previously deployed in 2012 -which was an election year- as part of a coordinated strategy. 2014 is -not coincidentally- another election year, and yes, numerous more tragic examples have taken place in multiple communities far more severe than the current incident involving the Mike Brown shooting, yet they fell outside the calendar of convenience.
Eric HolderWASHINGTON DC - Attorney General Eric Holder released a new statement Thursday regarding the escalating tensions in Ferguson, Missouri, saying such unrest “cannot continue,” but expressed concerns over the actions of local law enforcement.
“At a time when we must seek to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the local community, I am deeply concerned that the deployment of military equipment and vehicles sends a conflicting message,” Holder said in his statement, adding that those concerns have been conveyed by Justice Department officials to local authorities.
Holder added that the agency has offered technical assistance to local law enforcement “in order to help conduct crowd control and maintain public safety without relying on unnecessarily extreme displays of force.”
“While the vast majority of protests have been peaceful, acts of violence by members of the public cannot be condoned,” Holder said.
He continued, “By the same token, the law enforcement response to these demonstrations must seek to reduce tensions, not heighten them.” ().
The federal DOJ protesting the use of military style equipment while the federal DHS is actively giving it to the police is a hypocritical irony not lost on us
Then again, it’s probably got more to do with who the equipment is directed against. If this was the Tea Party protesting it’s doubtful the DOJ would have such concerns.
Exactly what’s taking place
In these demonstrations, we should be handing out flyers about illegals taking jobs away from minorities and abortion killing black babies
We should be handing out flyers showing Christians martyred in the middle east.
A Great idea Xzins! May it be!
How will America be a law-driven country ever again? This administration has packed every department with drooling lefties. The next Republican President will have to contend with an actively hostile buraucracy every day of his/her time in office.
Does anyone know if it makes a difference that the third autopsy is being done by a military doctor?
Can he be ordered to achieve a certain result?
Does the FBI even use military doctors?
The source is one of the links from drudge.
Is this going to be a real grand jury or a sham which will indict the officer and his lunchbox as a coconspirator?
we forget it is not the politicians that are the main problem. It is the unelected desk jockeys.
There is no argument for term limits of bureacrats. No prevention of making government service a lifetime career.
I would start attriting the government service industry and replacing their organizational reporting diagrams with unofficial ones that have the actual decisions being made by my people who are connected by the dotted lines of the real decision making process.
“Am I the only one who noticed that Obama said “The DOJ works for me” yesterday?”
No, I yelled at my TV “They work for us you retard!”
well who is watching the border?
What about the black on black killings that take place in Chicago on a daily basis? I don’t Holder and his buddy doing anything about that!
“Am I the only one who noticed that Obama said “The DOJ works for me” yesterday?”
Except when they run guns, sic the IRS on conservatives . . .
And they will for the next ten years it will take that long to clean up Obama’s mess.
Yeah, the dems might get more of their black base out with this.
But then again maybe white voters will see this and be appalled and get out and vote for republicans.
The ‘whites’ just didn’t learn the lesson from the Trayvon Martin case.
It is racist to defend yourself from a black attacker.
I wondering what happened last night after the curfew was lifted but the governor put National Guard tanks on the street?
Did the career protestors go home?
It actually is going to be hard to argue against reforming the Feguson police department. In 1970, Ferguson was 99% white. Now it’s 67% black. But only 3 of the 53 officers are black.
They won’t be able to hire anything but a black officer for the next 10 years.
They may be doing a great job, but that won’t matter. They’ve made this about race. And regardless of the facts of the shooting, they will address the racial disparity of the police department.
Hopefully they won’t do it in a disruptive manor and cause the unemployment of a lot of police that are already hired.
I think it's about the de-Caucasianizing of police departments everywhere, and the hiring of black racists to kick ass on Norman Rockwell's America.
What are the blacks going to do when all of Zer0’s illegal aliens flock into the hood and take over the drug turf? Hell’s going to break out.
I doubt it. Seriously, Ferguson police dept is 6% black and the population is 62% black. Don't you think there is something wrong about that?
Granted. The city's demographics have changed dramatically in 40 years, they were 98% white in 1970. The police dept hasn't changed with the population. And I seriously doubt they have all been on the force 40 years. T
