AUGUST 23, 2014 Eric Holder, Racial Profiler The Investigation of Darren Wilson Is Solely Based On His Race. By Andrew C. McCarthy
Why has a federal civil-rights murder investigation arisen out of the tumult in a St. Louis exurb? There is only one plausible reason: Eric Holder is guilty of racial profiling.
To be clear, we are not talking here about whether there was justification for the shooting of a young black man, 18-year-old Michael Brown, by a young white police officer, 28-year-old Darren Wilson. Was the shooting a legitimate exercise in self-defense by an officer under attack? Was it an overreaction for which Officer Wilson should suffer serious civil and criminal consequences? Such questions can only be answered by a thorough and fair investigation, the kind of due process owed to both the victim and the subject of the investigation — the kind that, as National Review’s editors point out, will be tough to mete out with political thumbs pressing on the scales.
Whatever the outcome, though, murder — including homicide caused by a policeman’s application of excessive force — is generally not a federal crime. It is a concern of state law. Only a few categories of murder are within the jurisdiction of federal investigators. In the main, they are far afield from Ferguson: the assassination of a U.S. government official, for instance, or a killing incidental to offenses that have interstate or international repercussions — racketeering, drug-trafficking, and terrorism.

No, it isn’t. The relevant point is not his race, it’s his vs. that of the cop.
If he’d been killed by a black cop this would never have been news outside St. Louis.
Sorry, misread the blurb.
White House officials to attend Michael Brown’s funeral
"Broderick Johnson, who heads the White House’s My Brother’s Keeper Task Force, will attend the service along with Marlon Marshall, a St. Louis native who attended high school with Brown’s mother."
Small world huh?

Another “Get Whitey!” moment brought to you by...
The administration is also trying to whip up emotions to distract the public from its failing both in the US and abroad.
As far as the MSM is concerned, they should be liable for anything that results from their actions. The "reporters" should be personally liable too.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown had three other children, IIRC.
Mike was living with Grandma.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown weren’t living together. Don’t even know if they have the same last name.
What are the odds that not all the children have the same father ?
Is that one of the reasons Mike was living with grandma?
What are the chances that Mike’s real baby daddy is Marlon Marshall ?
Where’s Maury Povitch when you need him ?
Ya reckon the third times’s the charm?

It may be possible to freep the DOJ.

Who is up for submitting on online complaint about the Top Racist Enforcement Officer’s conduct?
Just a reminder also..that Holder did state he is an “Activist” Attorney General. Now we are seeing that in play fully.

We keep saying we thought we've seen it all....and then there's another episode that seems more stunning then the previous.
I even considered perhaps they're supporting Ferguson because to do otherwise would guarantee further outcry from the community.....but that explanation lasted about two seconds too long!
Very similar facts to Zimmerman-Martin.
“As far as the MSM is concerned, they should be liable...”
I can’t agree with you more. The “if it bleeds, it leads” mentality is deplorable. It is ridiculous that such things happen just to increase ratings.

If not race, what else would be the point? All that black angst has to vent, and it can’t be vented towards the bad behavior of blacks. If it could, blacks would blame the militance and violence of black youth and culture for all the black on black killing. Wilson is safe, white and part of white man’s institution. His guilt, or lack thereof is inconsequential, merely a convenience or inconvenience in a forgone conclusion.
If blacks blamed blacks for bad behavior, they wouldn’t have an excuse for more bad behavior, and all the weeping and shouting on the streets would get them nothing. If blacks could benefit from blaming blacks, there would be an industry of black blamers built up around it, like they have for blaming whites.
You race players are simply pimps who exploit grievances from ages past, much like pimps exploit street walkers. You should all be ashamed for setting back race relations some decades. I have been neutral to all races and ethnic backgrounds until Obama and Co. came to power. With their encouragement, I'm starting to have a little attitude against a certain minority group and it isn't Asians.
It's all part of the bigger plan. Odumbo and his ilk WANT civil unrest and will continue doing what they do to get it started.
Why is odumbo suddenly concerned about all these police and sheriff departments getting, and using all that surplus military armament? He knows it COULD and WILL be used against him and this “brown shirts when the shtf.
“his brown shirts”, not “this brown shirts”.........sorry.
