Holder:
Protests seek to bring attention to real and significant underlying issues involving police practices, implicit bias, and pervasive community distrust ...
In most cases, these demonstrations have been both meaningful and responsible, and have brought vital issues to the attention of the public at large ...
I know, from first-hand experience, that demonstrations like these have the potential to spark a sustained and positive national dialogue, to provide momentum to a necessary conversation, and to bring about critical reform.
What will really bring restraint, something called WINTER.
Christmas shoppin’ time.
We are living in a nightmare.
OMG, Holder really said all that ****? What an invitation to loot and pillage in the name of “vital issues.”
And the local police should tell Holder to piss off.
If there are any Feds on the scene they will be there to arrest police officers not rioters. Take it to the bank.
Local police should use restraint. With so many looters organizing for “free stuff”, it’s important for cops to spend some time at the range in the next few days. Then they can limit their shots while on duty to 2-3 per criminal, so they don’t run out of ammo before they run out of looters.
Now we know what Derrick meant by “a nation of cowards.”
Last time I looked at the Constitution, Eric the Red isn’t given authority over local law enforcement.
Police tactics are a state and local matter.
The Feds should have NO say over this.
The same asshat who essentially compared the “Gentle Giant” to Emmett Till, wants LE to “use restraint”.
I’ll tell them this: if these so-called “protesters” come out and block another major interstate highway like they did on I-75 in Atlanta, and start coming over and rocking white people’s cars like I heard they were doing, they are going to be in a world of hurt. I will defend myself and my family, with whatever force is necessary.
so this guy Holder now thinks he’s the local police chief in Ferguson, Mo?
(what happened to the police chief they already had?)
Everyone but ‘protesters’ needs to leave town - and yeah, that includes the police.. . Then let the place burn down...
Accomplice General
” use restraint”?
How about carpet bombing?
He’s obligated to say that. He does not expect nor want anyone to take the pronouncement seriously.
Use every restraint available- handcuffs, flex ties, leg shackles...
I've watched these "protestors", night after night, turn what is supposed to be a peaceful protest into nightly bashing, taunting and insult sessions against whatever cops are on the line. They provoke a police appearance by laying in the street and blocking traffic and when the police respond they claim they are being intimidated and provoked. They attack media as 'not honest' and vandalize their vehicles, but censor their own 'official' livestreams. One of the chants against the police is 'they think it's a game, they think it's a joke' when in reality the real gameplayers are the oh-so-fake "protestors" themselves. With the type of personalities that have emerged in the local crowds, it's not hard to imagine just how Ferguson changed in less than 10 years from a sleepy bedroom community to a welfare community of gangbangers where it's not news when children are shot in drivebys and it's not news when people are mob-attacked and hospitalized for 'walking while white'. The same rabblerousers that now demand more and more special treatment from a town like thousands of others who's demographics have been changed forever by fallout from the housing collapse. Holder needs to check his black privilege and recognize thuggary for what it is - lawlessness.
It’s cold there now , the brothers needs winter cloths
