Holder urges restraint ahead of decision on Ferguson shooting

FERGUSON Mo (Reuters) - Hundreds of civil rights lawyers from across America are descending on Ferguson, Missouri as police and protesters prepare for a grand jury decision on whether to charge the officer who killed an unarmed black teenager in August.

The attorneys are arriving in Ferguson as talks between protest groups and police have stalled over a refusal by officials to rule out the use of riot gear, tear gas and militarized equipment if demonstrations turn violent should a grand jury decide not to indict police officer Darren Wilson, protest leaders say.

It isn’t insensitive, it is deserved. Anywhere Blacks exist in numbers, behavior is horrendous. It needs to be said.

The black lady in the last picture looks pretty dejected. I wonder if she’ll turn into a conservative now.

The headline is deceiving. Holder is urging restraint by law enforcement, NOT potential rioters, looters, criminals..........cart before the horse and a strong statement about this administration.

Yep, that’s what got me about his whole speech. If you’ll notice not ONCE does he tell the potential “protestors” to cool it with the looting and rioting. His focus is solely on the cops, this incredible audacity of his saying the “protestors” are “peaceful protestors”. Like I said, is this guy on drugs? Did he forget the rioting? Looting? The honest business owners who have absolutely nothing to do with this who are being victimized? Brutalized? This is Holder is a piece of rat filth.

Plausible deniability that he is NOT culpable for the riots that are surely coming, if the leaks are accurate, that there the policeman will not be charged.

I GUESS I USED DUBLE NEGATIVES THERE AND IT SHOULD READ:

The capper came this evening when someone at a local TV station saw a story on a public employee who’d been indicted, but was continuing to work, read only the word “indicted”, and rushed out a story that Wilson had been indicted... only to have to frantically retract it a few minutes later. Twitter right now is full of wishful thinking of all stripes, and there’s almost no facts being relayed. Consider what kind of effect this’ll have on a crowd pre-programmed for violence.

I hope you’re right and that all the “pro’s” have been grabbed. The disorganized amateurs are going to be trouble enough.

FBI’s there to intimidate the local police into not doing their jobs. Somehow, they managed to entice a couple of Panthers into buying explosives.

.....”a crowd pre-programmed for violence”.....

Reminds me of prison riot standoffs......each waiting for the other to make the move which sets it off...and there’s always one who will do just that with the obvious outcome seen time and again.

The black culture has yet to understand “they” must be accountable to each other for those in the community who continually cause trouble by their bad behavior. All other cultures do so except the black community....who instead run to each others defense crying racism at every turn, and this regardless of guilt or not. By still viewing every thing through the lens of racism they will not go further no matter how many protests.
