According to Andrew C. McCarthy there must be evidence of racial bias and more to open an investigation.
excerpt:
To justify a federal investigation, the Justice Department must have a rational basis to believe it could prove these invidious and evil purposes beyond a reasonable doubt. That requires compelling evidence, not a farfetched social-justice narrative.
Holder's proposal sounds like a fishing expedition and a violation of states rights.
Could anyone DARE think the Eric Holder himself might be a racist? This is what it looks like.
Let’s face it, this isn’t an investigation, it’s a PR campaign.
He should go to 0bola countries in Africa to show have racis' some diseases are.
I wish the Obama administration would pursue ISIS as aggressively as they pursue white cops in this country.
Maybe he and Obama want their ISIS buds to make their way in while we are all fighting about whether we have racist cops or not.
Good for Holder.
As a libertarian; I hate cops. Cops are scum. All they do is shoot dogs, conduct illegal SWAT raids, and munch donuts.
Cops are today’s Gestapo, they need to be reigned in and so Holder’s efforts to charge them with being racists is exactly what they deserve.
/libertarian rant
The ‘crisis’ being capitalized upon is for the purpose of NATIONALIZING all law enforcement and police and putting them under FEDERAL control.
Think National Police Force, or Civilian Security Force or Gestapo.
That is what the intent of what Holder is doing here now.
He could start with the black sheriff in Georgia who fired white cops, had them escorted from the property at gunpoint, and transported to their personal cars in prisoner transport vans.
Get Whitey Holder is grasping at straws.
At least we have our priorities right.
Meanwhile, illegal aliens continue to stream across the border and Chicago is a Murder Capital of the World.
This is the sort of thing that has led to the trivialization of the Obama administration.
Holder really does like witch hunts. Wait until he’s the target of one some day in the near future.
“If someone here knows by what authority Holder can single out police departments nationally on suspicions of racial bias please post them.”
This is just an extension of the “study” showing racial bias in school discipline. Any place blacks are prosecuted more than whites for any type of offense is proof of bias according to this admin. For example if 90% of those arrested for crack are black that is bias even if only 10 % of offenders were non-black (stats here are not real and are for example only).
I wish someone would launch a national review on the bias of criminals.
