The nation's top cop vowed Tuesday to "do all that we can" to combat what he called a "simply unacceptable" number of local and federal law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
In brief remarks before a closed-door meeting with police chiefs from around the country, Attorney General Eric Holder said nothing is "off the table," including an Obama administration push for Congress to approve new legislation.
"In recent months, we have really seen a dramatic rise in the number of police officers and other law enforcement agents who have been killed in the line of duty," Holder said.

The majority of the officers killed in the Phoenix area in the last 10 years have been victims of illegal aliens. But I suppose that statistic escapes Holder.

"In recent months, we have really seen a dramatic rise in the number of police officers and other law enforcement agents who have been killed in the line of duty," Holder said. How's that hopey-changey thing working for you?

Holder is not the top cop but the top con man.

We’re lucky the AWB had a sunset date. All the rest of them don’t. Nobody did anything when any major gun legislation was passed.

This is coming from a guy who probably never walked a beat or went on a ride-along.
Crazy people and criminals kill cops - stupid, and so do some of your terrorists who you helped pardon thru Clinton.
In fact, Susan Rosenberg has now written a book about herself as a communist terrorist.
Thanks Eric.

Attorney General Eric Holder said nothing is "off the table," including an Obama administration push for Congress to approve new legislation.This is code for infringing on law abiding citizen'sights.

that is, unless the murderers are “his people”. Kind of a quandary for mr. holder if “his peoples” keeps killings “his peoples”. What’s to do, what’s to do?

I have no respect for this racist pig and don’t believe a word he says.
Racism is the prinmary motivation for his every thought and action.
If he acts concerned about an increased murder rate you can bet that he wants to use the issue to pursue a hidden agenda.
We have had some sorry Attorneys General but Holder is by far the worst of them all.

Using "cop" and Eric Holder in the same article is an insult to policemen. Like most AG's he is simply a politically connected Liar lawyer.

--

The Supreme Court ruled, in 1937, that it was unconstitutional to TAX a firearm that had a military use, specifically, a short-barrel shotgun.
Clock ahead to the present, and the so-called "conservative" wing of the Supreme Court claimed (lied) that the 1937 decision (Miller) says that the government can BAN the public from having military weapons.
The people have ZERO friends at the federal level. The whole enchilada is ROTTEN.

"...what he called a "simply unacceptable" number of local and federal law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty."
Being Holder making this statement what was probably meant is the number killed is too low.
