Associated Press ^ | Nov 8, 2014 3:13 PM EST | Nedra Pickler

President Barack Obama introduced his choice for attorney general Saturday as an accomplished prosecutor from New York City who will carry on a “fierce commitment to equal justice.”

Obama argued at a White House ceremony that it’s “pretty hard to be more qualified” for the job of attorney general than Brooklyn federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch.

“Loretta might be the only lawyer in America who battles mobsters and drug lords and terrorists, and still has the reputation for being a charming people person,” Obama said to laughter from those who packed the Roosevelt Room for the announcement. …

How about some “equal justice” for the millions of unborn children who have been butchered in their mothers’ wombs, Mr. Obama?

I think he said “Equal Just Us” and they misheard him.

Yeah, like the one that is retiring. I do believe that the republicans had better start getting a solid pair of “COJONES” starting January. They are going to need them in combating this LIAR IN CHIEF. They had better defy this COMMUNIST at every turn.

Obama says Lynch will carry on equal justice, and we can keep our own doctors, and we can keep our own health care, and (fill in the blanks).

Why doesn’t he just shut up?

.... In “Obama-Speak” ...... “Equal Justice” .... is a special term and phrase used by this administration that when it is translated into the normal American English language phrase and connotation actually means ...... “Special Treatment specifically given to Blacks and those of origins outside of the American Borders” ......

Even before the “inflammatory video” meme there is not a thing that comes out of this administration’s voice worth receiving as true.

This is Obama-speak for: “Loretta Lynch will be a clone of Eric Holder.” Unacceptable, Barry. Unacceptable, U.S. Senate.

Maybe she can use her charm to address the problem that is causing these homicides to be way out of kilter -- or at lease avoid the bullshit that Black Americans are in danger of virtual annihilation vis-a-vis what happened to Trayvon and Brown.

I did not find data for the years 1996 through 2003

www.fbi.gov About Us CJIS UCR Crime in the U.S. Here's the links to most of the FBI tables I referenced above.

Here's 2012

Here's 2011

Here's 2010

Here's 2009

Here's 2008

Here's 2007

Here's 2006

Here's 2005

Or maybe she can look at her department's own data and calm things done a bit knowing that whites are more likely to die being arrested than Black Americans.

The FBI and other sources of homicide by law enforcement figures below include the majority of all police departments.

The point of this reply is to point out that whites are the most likely to die while being arrested.

The Obama-Holder U.S. Dept. Just Us and the race-grievance industry will of course exploit all shootings to the max vis-a-vis race more than any concern for the poor victim.

The ARD data show that whites are more likely to die while being arrested and IMO there is no doubt that some of those deaths were the intention of the police.

But the main point is I bet that policemen don't care about race compared to protecting themselves from being killed or maimed.

And what about Ms Carey the unarmed, young black woman chased, surrounded and gunned down by federal agents in D.C.? Where's the Obama-Holder U.S. Dept. Just Us and the race-grievance industry caring about her and her baby?

Arrest-Related Deaths, 2003-2009 - Statistical Tables

"From 2003 through 2009, a total of 4,813 deaths were reported to the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ (BJS) Arrest-Related Deaths (ARD) program."

Of these, about 6 in 10 deaths (2,931) were classified as homicide by law enforcement personnel, and 4 in 10 (1,882) were attributed to other manners of death.

To me this shows that it is not a racial thing. It happens to all races. These figures however do not show those thought "murdered" by police. I have not yet located data for recent years. Why can't I find data for recent years? I do not know.. maybe the Dept of Just Us and Race-Grievance Industry don't want it known that whites are the most likely to die being arrested.
