Attorney General Eric Holder Suggests US Police Are an “Occupying Force” (Video)
Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/2/14 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 12/02/2014 8:56:30 PM PST by Nachum

On Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder kicked off the first of a series of community forums on Ferguson at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Monday night.

Holder suggested to the activists that US police are an “occupying force.”

“The problems we must confront are not only in Ferguson. The issues raised in Missouri are not unique in that state or to that small city. We are dealing with concerns that are truly national is scope and have threatened the entire nation. Broadly speaking without mutual understanding between citizens whose rights must be respected and law enforcement officers who make tremendous often unheralded sacrifices every day to preserve public safety. Without that kind of interaction without that kind of trust there can be no meaningful progress. Our police officers cannot be, and cannot be seen as an occupying force disconnected from their communities that they serve.”

He can’t leave office soon enough.

How right you are!

The agenda was squarely in place in August. Sharpton, et al, chose to exploit the wrong case ... again.

I’ve never attacked a LEO and they have never shot me. I’m not sure if there’s a correlation there or not....

Agree ....its already being pushed on the dollar variable .......my county is turning fed money away and is cautious where state cash stands. We have a very good department that treats FLEA’s as just another cartel to keep in front of em.

Watch yer six ....Stay Safe !!

So the right thing to do, according to Holder, would be to pull the police out of black neighborhoods altogether?

Obama said in 2008 he wanted a as strong as the military.. Homeland security, IIRC.. After the Patriot Act, I think the police are integrally working with local police. I actually agree with Holder on this one.

Ron/Rand Paul totally agree. It’s part of their thug outreach.

The same could be said about the welfare armies they have been breeding and feeding for the past 60 years.

This is the run up to openly fascist politics. The cycle will be complete when we see political opponents of The Dark Lord and his running dogs start to disappear.(Actually this is already happened on a small scale, the Obama Campaign likely has a black ( pardon the pun) ops assassin team that works out of Chicago.)

We are no longer a nation of citizens governed by law.We are a nation of subjects ruled by the whim of a tyrant who supposes himself to be a black nobleman,hero of the alleged vanquished, the Dark Lord.The fact is that he is Battyman wanting to be Batman, who has become a scourge on everyone he touches.I doubt he will last 2 years.

The solution is simple: Announce a date of withdrawal of police forces from ‘communities of color,’ much as what Obama did in Iraq. Otherwise, create a policy in which only black officers respond to black communities. When the people have to wait hours for a responding black officer, tough.

Holder suggested to the activists that US police are an “occupying force.”

It's funny that he should say that. His boss said that as part of his fergidishu plan that he would NOT stop the transference of military gear to local cops.

So send in obamas “national civilian defense force”(or whatever he called it), you know the one he wanted just as strong as our military.

These guys are losing their marbles.

Oh, they’re not losing their marbles at all.

They’re getting ready to pull the trigger on a gun they’ve been building and loading for quite some time.

How about a “social expirement”? Put a huge fence around the entire city of Furgeson (its small enough to control), let no one in or out and then remove ALL police from within the citys boundries. How long do you anticipate the city will last?

They did that experiment. It was in the Superdome during Katrina.

Well, the elitists armed up the boys in blue with surplus military equipment, and then the boys in blue used that equipment AGAINST the elitists and their useful idiot army. That scared the socks off the leftists, knowing that that military equipment could and would be used them. The elitists wanted that hardware used against patriots. Oops!

That’s what this caterwauling is all about. I can assure you that the elitists at Washington cocktail parties are s**ting bricks.
