Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. vowed a firm response on Friday to what he called appalling racial misconduct by law enforcement officials in Ferguson, Mo., suggesting he was prepared to seek the dismantling of the police force there if necessary.
We are prepared to use all the powers that we have, all the power that we have, to ensure that the situation changes there, Mr. Holder told reporters here after returning from Columbia, S.C., where he appeared with President Obama at a town hall-style meeting at Benedict College. That means everything from working with them to coming up with an entirely new structure.
Asked if that included dismantling the police force, Mr. Holder said: If thats whats necessary, were prepared to do that.
His remarks came after two police supervisors in Ferguson resigned after being linked to racist emails turned up by a Justice Department investigation.
The two supervisors, Capt. Rick Henke and Sgt. William Mudd, left the force on Thursday, the citys information office said Friday. A third employee, Mary Ann Twitty, clerk of the Municipal Court, was fired on Wednesday for her role in the emails.
Officials did not say whether any of the three actually wrote the emails, or whether other employees were involved in writing or forwarding them.
Captain Henke had been with the Ferguson Police Department since 1979, and was acting police chief for several months in 1997 and 1998. Last fall, he led a night muster formation of officers from other departments assigned to protect Fergusons Police Headquarters.

Yep - Ferguson will be the first test case.
This delusional power-hungry fool is truly out of hand.
Hey are you talking about Obama or Holder?
You could be talking about either one of these racists nigras.
Both need to be tried for treason and summarily executed when found guilty in my book.
Yeah, I knew that and even how to properly pronounce the tongue-twister.
BUT I didn’t know how to SPELL it out. Spell something wrong and you have to stay after school and listen to a stern lekture.
I thought this guy resigned.
“I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...”
Heh... Heh... Heh...
I C what you did there.
I thought this racist had resigned and was going away?
You’re not out of line at all. There are a lot of us that see that it will ultimately come to that or a total loss of freedom.
lol
do we have to wait until congress okays one of obies choices to replace this rube.....for him to walk away into the mist???
Okay. . .dismantle and walk away. . .let the feral yuts take over policing, after all, they are all honest, hard-working, wannabe-rappers and college-bound good boys that are just turning their life around. . .what could go wrong?
Thank you for your reply and additional information.
“By what authority?”
14th Amendment:
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
The Ferguson Kleptocracy
the state taxpayers there should disband the department.
the taxpayers are being robbed.
Nice try, but no sell,
Put blacks into total power with the Ferguson police department, and they won’t be able to pay for all the paper to write the crime reports.
A smaller version of Zimbabwe.......
