Nice of all the major media (Fox included) to push Obama’s racial tension distraction strategy for the 2014 election. We’re not talking about Illegals flooding our borders, ObamaCare ruining family budgets, ISIS overturning the blood bought cities of Iraq, the worst participation rate in half a century, etc.
Conservatives are busy carrying Obama’s water in his racial distraction in Ferguson. And we’re energizing his base for him.
The only way that makes sense to discuss Ferguson at this point is: Obama has screwed up everything he’s touched including race relations.
Am I the only one who noticed that Obama said “The DOJ works for me” yesterday?
Sad but despite superficial accomadations made in the popular culture, the core of race relations has not changed since 1965. Generally whites want very little to do with blacks and blacks inherently feel that whites would kill them off if they could. Politically incorrect to state but that’s the way it really is.
Can Anyone Fix the Ferguson Police Department? It needs to be overhauled. It takes time, but it can be done.
"President Obama on Monday announced that he will send Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson, Missouri. America’s top law enforcement official will meet with FBI agents conducting the civil rights investigation into the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed, black 18-year-old who was shot and killed by a white police officer a little more than a week ago. The investigation into Brown’s death—which will include a federal autopsy of his body—is expected to take some time. But its end will likely only mark the beginning of a larger probe into the Ferguson Police Department, which has seemingly gone out of its way to stoke protesters’ anger by refusing to clarify the circumstances of the shooting, and by greeting the originally peaceful protests with military-grade riot gear."
Any meaningful reconciliation to the chaos and conflict provoked by this episode will have to include reform of the Ferguson Police Department. But how could that be done? How do you fix a police department that has proven it can’t police itself?
If Holder concludes that there has been a pattern of misconduct by the police—either in the lead-up to Brown’s death or in its aftermath—the president has the ability to force widespread reforms within the department with the help of a law passed in the wake of the Rodney King beating. The provision in question, part of what was officially known as the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, is “one of the most significant” pieces of civil rights legislation passed in the latter part of 20th century, and also one of the most “overlooked,” according to Joe Domanick, the associate director of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice’s Center on Media, Crime, and Justice. The law gives the federal government two options: It can either formally pursue a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Ferguson Police Department by alleging a “pattern and practice” of misconduct or the administration and city officials can enter into what is known as a “consent decree” that would mandate a specific set of reforms that would then be overseen by an independent court-appointed monitor. Faced with the possibility of a costly court battle, most cities have historically taken the path of least resistance and signed on the decree’s dotted lines. Ferguson officials probably wouldn’t buck that trend............."
Also, the narrative is that the Ferguson PD is the culprit. The Democrat Governor replaced them on riot patrol with the State Police but the narrative still blames the FPD for the continuing riots as if the FPD is handling it.
The Obama/Holder syndicate is probably bring another 90,000 illegals into the country while everyone is watching looting in Ferguson. This administration has been looting the nation for six years.
Holder is only there to make sure the cop is burned on the altar of the privileged class. I for one am sick of the so called black community whining about everything. They didn’t even know what happened before they started their rant. I suggest the authorities close off the entire town and let them burn it down.
During the Rodney King riots in Waukegan, IL the then mayor shut the rioting neighborhood down and let no one in or out. The rioters soon stopped.
We should have picked our d*** cotton.
Blacks abusing their powers as blacks in the White House.
gots to get them negro’s fired up.
Needs em to go vote for the dem.
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?
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!
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.
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?
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.
