Ferguson Shootings: Eric Holder Calls Shootings of Cops 'Repugnant' (Bloody Hands)

The shootings of two police officers overnight in Ferguson, Missouri, are "inexcusable and repugnant" and threaten the reforms sought by nonviolent protesters, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Thursday.

"We will continue to stand unequivocally against all acts of violence against cops whenever and wherever they occur," he said in a statement.

A report commissioned by Holder and issued last week found widespread racial bias in law enforcement in Ferguson. The officers were shot toward the end of a demonstration that followed the resignation of the Ferguson police chief.

The St. Louis County police chief described the shootings of the officers as an ambush and said both were lucky to have survived. One was shot under the eye and still has a bullet lodged in his brain, the chief said.

Holder's statement likened the shootings in Ferguson to the killings of a police officer in Philadelphia last week and a deputy U.S. marshal in Louisiana this week.

"Such senseless acts of violence threaten the very reforms that nonviolent protesters in Ferguson and around the country have been working towards for the past several months," the attorney general said.

Holder just released a statement decrying these assaults.

Ironic, since he and his Bud in the Oval Office have been instigating the situation that lead to these assaults.

==

These Libs follow a similar pattern: they s*it-stir until a tragedy happens and then they disavow any responsibility.

ric Holder Calls Shootings of Cops 'Repugnant'

Curiously, liberals refer to Republicans as the Repugs.

So he's STILL reacting with partisanship.

Let's hope they catch the “person” who was behind this premeditated assassination plot.

Obama and Holder have been inciting racial violence since the very beginning of Obama’s presidency.

Did Obama apologize to Darren Wilson for his public character assassination of Mr. Wilson because he fulfilled his duty of defending the city from the attacks of criminal thugs?

After expending hundreds of thousands dollars trying to condemn Officer Darren Wilson, the “Justice” department exonerated the police officer of all the false charges that the race pimps tried to input on him.

Will Obama apologize to Darren Wilson for his public character assassination of Mr. Wilson because he fulfilled his duty of defending the city from the attacks of criminal thugs?

I was trolling over at DU and just guess what the prevailing meme is there.

Sad, but predictable.

Right-Wing Sniper on a hill, Right-Wing wants race war.

One DUmmy had to remind his comrades; "We went there with the Boston bombing & looked like fools."

Where were the National Guard snipers, posted on surrounding rooftops? Oh wait, that would be ‘racist’ to have such a defense against Barry’s thugs.

The entire police department in Ferguson needs to walk away and get jobs elsewhere. They are walking targets.

Words can kill, Mr. Holder. And you are guilty of aiding and abeting two attempted murders.

I hope I live long enough to piss on your grave.

IOW, not wrong in essence, but in effect on one's own agenda.

The police officers that were shot were NOT Ferguson Police officers. They were St. Louis City Police and Sheriff Department employees.

The police department in Ferguson does not need to walk away. They are all going to be fired and replaced by County Sheriffs. The City will simply contract their police services to the Sheriff's department and these officers will all be out of a job - unless they can hire on with the Sheriff's department.

Maybe all the honest, law abiding citizens of that town ought to up stakes and split.

I know... I’m dreaming.

But how can you live with a mass of violent morons who want a perpetual state of discord and violence?

AND I am sure the victims of all this social unrest are themselves supporting the crud who are doing the damage.

If they catch a perp, and the perp turns out to be black, won’t arresting the perp further skew the statistics and make it appear they they’re arresting a disproportionate number of blacks? Will they also have to arrest a random white dude just to keep the stats in line with the new guidelines?

Go to hell Holder, you wanted this, you worked for it, and you finally got it. the real question is, what took so long before it happened? That’s the wonder, that it didn’t happen sooner.

And ignored the Black Panthers in FL calling for death to whites, including specifically, white infants. Well, they weren’t completely ignored-the media gave them a platform from which to spew.
