Eric Holder: We Must 'Seize' The 'Unique Opportunity' Ferguson Presents
Breitbart Big Government ^ | December 1, 1914 | Tony Lee

Posted on 12/01/2014 10:38:56 PM PST by Neil E. Wright

On Monday evening, Attorney General Eric Holder told activists and law enforcement officials in Atlanta that Ferguson presents an opportunity to deal with issues like racial injustice and the perception that police treat minorities unfairly before announcing that new federal standards against racial profiling are on the way.

"This presents this nation with, I think, a unique opportunity," Holder said, according to CNN. "And I think it's incumbent on all of us to seize this opportunity to deal with issues that for too long have been ignored."

Holder kicked off the first of a series of community forums on Ferguson at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta and said he will, in the coming days, "announce updated Justice Department guidance regarding profiling by federal law enforcement, which will institute rigorous new standards—and robust safeguards—to help end racial profiling, once and for all."

"This new guidance will codify our commitment to the very highest standards of fair and effective policing," Holder said.

Holder was reportedly heckled at the event but told the hecklers that, "I ain't mad atcha, all right?"

"There will be a tendency on the part of some to condemn what we just saw, but we shouldn't," Holder reportedly said. "What we saw there was a genuine expression of concern and involvement. And it is through that level of involvement, that level of concern and I hope a level of perseverance and commitment that change ultimately will come."

Bully small town Sheriffs who cannot afford to fight the DC printing press,
into not arresting Blacks? That's what I'm seeing here.

Tell you what, riot in your own neighborhoods and kill each other there.
Just stay out of decent neighborhoods with your racist agenda.

Yes, let us all seize it. Go after a law enforcement officer you might get a bullet in the brain.

Is Holder like those others like Obama and Jartett who claim to be negros so they can lay claim to the black votes votes? They are not very black. But they have a race card.

This new guidance will codify

The man is so delusional that he thinks he's the legislative branch.

What resignation? It was a farce to get congressional investigations sidetracked. Holder will still be USAG until Jan 2017.
