The Justice Department has decided not to bring charges against the officers involved in the death of Alton Sterling, whose videotaped shooting by police in Baton Rouge last summer prompted unrest across the city, and is planning to reveal in the next 24 hours that it has closed the probe, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Who, if they were truly familiar with the matter, should have kept their mouths shut.

Barack Obama weighed in on the matter

Of course. Obamo is always eager to sow racial division.

[President Barack Obama weighed in on the matter then, declaring his confidence in the Justice Department probe and remarking, “we have seen tragedies like this too many times.”]

Just my tinfoil, here but he’s just a Malcom X radical. OK, that wasn’t tinfoil. Maybe he is actually his son. OK, that part could be just tinfoil.

He ripped off Denzel Washington quoting him in a movie, his preacher ripped off X with “chickens coming home to roost” and Eric Holder wanted kids to read X.

Probably just coincidence.....

We are locked and loaded down here. If BLM or The Black Panthers make their way out to the suburbs, there will be bodies to pick up. The coonasses don’t play that BS.

Great timing by Sessions, good to see he has his priorities straight.

Just the thing to start up the Trump is a racist theme in the press.

Sessions is either incompetent or a fool.

This couldn’t have waited a year?

Maybe New Orleans should hurry up and get those Confederate statues down, don’t want them blamed for rioting. Certainly once they are down, life will be on easy street in the Big Easy.

My understanding of this (as reported in Louisiana) was that:

1. A homeless person called 911 to report a person waving a gun (Sterling).

2. The police officers confronted Sterling, and there was a wrestling match between Sterling (300+ pounds) and the two officers. Sterling went for his gun to shoot the police officers.

3. The officers defended themselves by shooting the suspect.

IDIOT President Obama mouthed off about this, not knowing the facts, and caused shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

Obama was as much the problem in this as our IGNORANT media.

DINGBATS one and all.

How about the "there is no case here" thing?

The credibility of the Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) on such issues is diminishing every day.

People are perfectly capable of evaluating the available information and making up their own minds about such things, without assistance from Leftist race-baiters.

The vast majority of the People know that President Trump is not a racist, and the remainder are blind—incapable of ever being convinced otherwise...

I’d have to dust the cobwebs off my old memory, but I seem to recall the first shot heard was the perp’s pocket gun. Subsequent shots were Leos fighting for their lives.

One day soon the chickens are going to roost for real on all those who defied the Lord above with malice, deceit, lies, extortion, and all other forms of wickedness.

Holder and Obama have zero to look forward to.

Obama is not concerned about tracts just like he isn’t concerned about truth.

What he IS concerned about is stirring up a much trouble as he can on any situation like that.

Which he has done REPEATEDLY. It is no accident nor did he do it in a vacuum.

He intends to bring Kenya-style riots and mayhem here, by any means possible. I submit there are already deaths because of it. Including rioting, looting and arson.
