Attorney General Eric Holder Suggests US Police Are an “Occupying Force” (Video)

Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/2/14 | Jim Hoft

[Nachum]

On Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder kicked off the first of a series of community forums on Ferguson at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta on Monday night.

Holder suggested to the activists that US police are an “occupying force.”

“The problems we must confront are not only in Ferguson. The issues raised in Missouri are not unique in that state or to that small city. We are dealing with concerns that are truly national is scope and have threatened the entire nation. Broadly speaking without mutual understanding between citizens whose rights must be respected and law enforcement officers who make tremendous often unheralded sacrifices every day to preserve public safety. Without that kind of interaction without that kind of trust there can be no meaningful progress. Our police officers cannot be, and cannot be seen as an occupying force disconnected from their communities that they serve.”

He can’t leave office soon enough.

Thanks for the ping.

He is an idiot.

[4Liberty]

Stunning.

[Olog-hai]

Isn’t this demagogue supposed to be resigning?

[clintonh8r]

eric’s skull is unoccupied territory....

[himno hero]

Holder is just a a charmin skid.

He will soon pass. Hopefully, adults will move in and take over.

[TigersEye]

Unacceptable!

Police across the nation should go on strike in protest.

[rockinqsranch]

His skull is so full of hate there’s no room for objectivity.

[Nachum]

He is an idiot.

I think there may be a difference between being stupid and completely ruthless. I think he is the latter.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

You are very very very wrong....

This is part of the left’s movement towards making police forces nationalized...either by making a national police force (unlikely) or by placing restrictions and national standards (think leftist agendas) onto local police and sheriff agencies (more likely).

They will move towards required accreditation standards if you accept fed $ then push the leftist statist agenda upon agencies through accreditation.

[wastedyears]

“A force just as well funded, just as well trained as the military.”

Probably been recruiting for that since inauguration in the shadows.

[INVAR]

I tend to notice this cabal often projects their actual intentions upon those people and institutions they seek to destroy and replace with their own.

If current cop are said to be an ‘occupying force’ by His Heinous and his minions- what shall we consider calling Obama’s soon-coming “National Civilian Security Force’ but that which he is projecting onto current law enforcement?

"Our police officers cannot be, and cannot be seen as an occupying force disconnected from their communities that they serve."

Seems clear to me that he is saying that we, as a nation, should not allow the police to be viewed as an "occupying force."

What's the fuss?

I had the same reaction. Much ado about nothing.

[Ray76]

The “occupying force” are the demons in your soul, Holder

As if policemen don't have enough threats and violence facing them hourly. They got this campus radical after them

I suppose you are joking, but it’s clear that “cannot be” and “cannot be seen” are of a piece, and he means that they ARE, and ARE seen to be an O.F. , and if you don’t believe the first, the second is enough to certify that they need to “change”, i.e. be swept away by the forces of righteousness.

[golux]

The answer he wants is "no YOU are the occupying force," because total conflict is how Marxism works. Who could create a socialist-wet-dream race war?
