U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder reassured college students Wednesday in suburban St. Louis [] at the Florissant campus of St. Louis Community College
Kiyanda Welch said Holder talked to her and other students about the unrest and their own interaction with police. The attorney general told the group, “change is coming,” Welch said.
In a letter published late Tuesday on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website, Holder promised a thorough investigation while calling for an end to the violence in Ferguson. He said the bond of trust between law enforcement and the public is “all-important” but also “fragile.”
Arrest patterns “must not lead to disparate treatment under the law, even if such treatment is unintended. And police forces should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve,” Holder wrote.

Holder’s number one job in Ferguson: make sure the trial DOES NOT turn into another Travon.
Will be interesting to see how all this goes down.
What a Dufus, shouldn't Obama's administration reflect the diversity of the country then?
Yep. They missed Zimmerman by the skin of their teeth [he was acquitted]. They are going to do everything humanly possible to make sure that they get Wilson. And, if the pictures of Whites holding Arrest Darren Wilson signs are any indication, a very large segment of Whites support the lynching of Wilson. But, a very, very large segment of Whites worship the ground Holder’s boss, Obama pisses on. So, what the heck, like father, like son. Meaning that if they worship Obama, they will worship Holder.
But it may not be exactly what Holder had in mind - this regime will NOT go on forever, one way or another, it WILL end.
They sure do talk but no action........all they ever do is promise this and that but nothing comes of it (thank God).....for example, they said change is coming after the school shooting in CT....they said change is coming after the movie theater shooting.....they said change was coming after the 2008 election.......nothing......well I guess they got that right. Bottom line is liberals like to hear themselves talk, but when it comes to action they are typically lazy and don’t accomplish a thing.
Because the Decent Black Officers don’t want anything to do with patrolling the hood. They know it’s a lost cause.
I just had a debate with one in my office. He claims it’s white man’s fault. I told him to pull his head out if his ass. He claims Detroit’s demise was because the city started an income tax and the whites left. I laughed and suggested he go back to his college and get his money back. The riots of the late 60s and 50 years of Racist black leaders,cronyism and political favors drove the middle class and business out leaving nothing but freeloaders and Crooked Politicians.. He also tried to tell me it was White mans fault the City’s Schools are crap.
Funny the bleeding hearts always forget about local control when their dreams fail.
Yep.
It’s all discrimination, disadvantage, poverty, lack of education, yada, yada, yada.
That’s the pat answer from libs of all stripes.
Change is coming from Holder means that whitey must be disarmed and all white cops must be fired.
Without comment...
"If you want to call me an activist attorney general, I will proudly accept that label," said Holder. "Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job.
The responsibility of the attorney general is to change things [and] bring us closer to the ideals expressed in our founding documents." Holder added that those who claim he runs an "activist civil rights division" and that he is "an activist attorney general--I'd say I agree with you 1000 percent and [I am] proud of it."
