Eric Holder Releases "Message To The People Of Ferguson"
Authored by Eric Holder, via The St.Louis Post-Dispatch,
Since the Aug. 9 shooting death of Michael Brown, the nation and the world have witnessed the unrest that has gripped Ferguson, Mo. At the core of these demonstrations is a demand for answers about the circumstances of this young man’s death and a broader concern about the state of our criminal justice system.
At a time when so much may seem uncertain, the people of Ferguson can have confidence that the Justice Department intends to learn - in a fair and thorough manner - exactly what happened.
Today, I will be in Ferguson to be briefed on the federal civil rights investigation that I have closely monitored since I launched it more than one week ago. I will meet personally with community leaders, FBI investigators and federal prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office to receive detailed briefings on the status of this case.
The full resources of the Department of Justice have been committed to the investigation into Michael Brown’s death. This inquiry will take time to complete, but we have already taken significant steps. Approximately 40 FBI agents and some of the Civil Rights Division’s most experienced prosecutors have been deployed to lead this process, with the assistance of the United States Attorney in St. Louis. Hundreds of people have already been interviewed in connection with this matter. On Monday, at my direction, a team of federal medical examiners conducted an independent autopsy.
We understand the need for an independent investigation, and we hope that the independence and thoroughness of our investigation will bring some measure of calm to the tensions in Ferguson. In order to begin the healing process, however, we must first see an end to the acts of violence in the streets of Ferguson. Although these acts have been committed by a very small minority — and, in many cases, by individuals from outside Ferguson — they seriously undermine, rather than advance, the cause of justice. And they interrupt the deeper conversation that the legitimate demonstrators are trying to advance.
The Justice Department will defend the right of protesters to peacefully demonstrate and for the media to cover a story that must be told. But violence cannot be condoned. I urge the citizens of Ferguson who have been peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights to join with law enforcement in condemning the actions of looters, vandals and others seeking to inflame tensions and sow discord.
Law enforcement has a role to play in reducing tensions, as well. As the brother of a retired law enforcement officer, I know firsthand that our men and women in uniform perform their duties in the face of tremendous threats and significant personal risk. They put their lives on the line every day, and they often have to make split-second decisions.
At the same time, good law enforcement requires forging bonds of trust between the police and the public. This trust is all-important, but it is also fragile. It requires that force be used in appropriate ways. Enforcement priorities and arrest patterns must not lead to disparate treatment under the law, even if such treatment is unintended. And police forces should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve.
Over the years, we have made significant progress in ensuring that this is the case. But progress is not an endpoint; it is a measure of effort and of commitment. Constructive dialogue should continue — but it must also be converted into concrete action. And it is painfully clear, in cities and circumstances across our great nation, that more progress, more dialogue, and more action is needed.
This is my pledge to the people of Ferguson: Our investigation into this matter will be full, it will be fair, and it will be independent. And beyond the investigation itself, we will work with the police, civil rights leaders, and members of the public to ensure that this tragedy can give rise to new understanding — and robust action — aimed at bridging persistent gaps between law enforcement officials and the communities we serve. Long after the events of Aug. 9 have receded from the headlines, the Justice Department will continue to stand with this community.
As we move forward together, I ask for the public’s cooperation and patience. And I urge anyone with information related to the shooting to contact the FBI by dialing 800-CALL-FBI, option 4.

Was it rebroadcast en Espanol?
No, but there were subtitles in Jive...
You first, Holder. Stop acts of violence by the government against citizens.
I'll be impressed when Holder goes after just one of those "arsonist that destroyed the American financial system and profited from it" (Hat tip to tin Tim Geitner).
Mr Holder, were you involved in the decision to withhold information regarding Michael Brown's strong arm robbery, shortly before his death at the hands of law enforcement?
I believe that answer would be, yes.
Hey, I'm lucky number 13 ;-)
Now this is some good distraction. Good thing MSM isn't talking about the IRS, Iraq, or any other story regarding how fucked up our government is right now.
He took out an editorial in the newspaper?????
Is somebody gonna read this to folks? There are some pretty big words in there
Roughly translated: "Y'all mah niggas get back on the ranch. We doin lawyer shit, so chill"
"At a time when so much may seem uncertain, the people of Ferguson can have confidence that the Justice Department intends to learn - in a fast and furious manner - exactly what happened."
-- Attorney General Eric "Inaction Jackson" Holder
Well this item doesn't inspire confidence in Holder as an impartial and objective administrator of justice given the current circumstances in Ferguson:
http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/30/as-college-sophomore-eric-holder-parti...
As a freshman at Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later described by the university’s Black Students’ Organization as “armed,” The Daily Caller has learned.
Department of Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to questions from The Daily Caller about whether Holder himself was armed — and if so, with what sort of weapon.
Holder was then among the leaders of the Student Afro-American Society (SAAS), which demanded that the former ROTC office be renamed the “Malcolm X Lounge.” The change, the group insisted, was to be made “in honor of a man who recognized the importance of territory as a basis for nationhood.”
Black radicals from the same group also occupied the office of Dean of Freshman Henry Coleman until their demands were met. Holder has publicly acknowledged being a part of that action.
The details of the student-led occupation, including the claim that the raiders were “armed,” come from a deleted Web page of the Black Students’ Organization (BSO) at Columbia, a successor group to the SAAS. Contemporary newspaper accounts in The Columbia Daily Spectator, a student newspaper, did not mention weapons.
Holder, now the United States’ highest-ranking law enforcement official, has given conflicting accounts of this episode during college commencement addresses at Columbia, but both the BSO’s website and the Daily Spectator have published facts that conflict with his version of events.
Who is the screenwriter on this Hollywood blockbuster?
So, all it takes to spur the FBI (to the tune of 40+ agents, no less!) into action is the shedding of some dark-skinned blood? Quick, someone shoot some darkies in JPM, Goldman and Wells Fargo!
FUCK THAT WHITE HATING, RACIST COCKSUCKER!
MAY HE BURN ALIVE!
Enjoy FEMA camp.
I hear the top bunks are better.
"....and others seeking to inflame tensions and sow discord."
Sounds like a day in the Obama Admin to me.
Too bad nobody trusts fedgov any longer.
Let's hope Eric "my people" Holder doesn't channel the spirit of his previous boss....that bulldagger Janet Reno, and burn everyone in Ferguson to death!
"Cut me some slack, Jack!"
http://youtu.be/g0j2dVuhr6s
Holder: Chill out (Up in There) Brothers... We GOT This!!!!
more like...."we aren't going to pay attention to you until you stop crying"......
wow...How many FBI agents does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Holy freakin cow. 40 FBI agents, and a crew from the Civil Rights Character Assassination Team. That should do it and make everything better.
Results of Holder's investigation just announced. And they are:
"Whitey did it".
Learn what happened?
Can we start we Bankster skimming & looting?
People in Ferguson already learned what happend. Banksters got turned blind eye.
Thanks for your input, dick-cheese.
Stereotypes need to change. We need to see some white or asian rioters looting black businesses. Help us out Eric Holder.
That'll have to wait until 401K "one-time taxes" or seizures.
Stand with the community? Or stand on the community?
Waiting for Holder Memo Part Deux
Charging looters and rioters could damage community relations, so $2 fines if your swear allegiance to Herr Leader
Can anybuddy point a finger better than a self-interested bleeding heart liberal? The half white dude is sure waggin' it real gud!
Jump Bankster Jump.
Somebody call the police. Obama's been spotted somewhere near the white house...a Yellen and a Clepperin while Holderin his Clitton.
The Ofc's eye socket was crushed. Match that with the trajectory of bullet hits on body. One eye functioning?
Still waiting for Holder to prosecute the banksters...
...oh wait, that's right. Too big to jail.
Fuck you Holder and your cheesy mustache, you fucking cunt
...."and the chocolate rations have increased to 5 grams!"
"... from 8 grams! A 60% improvement!"
Sounds like a movie clip from Reservoir Dogs.
Mr. Brown was wacked by Mr. Pink.
Spilled my coffee on that one!!
Independent investigation my ass. Holder and his civil rights cronies have this thing signed, sealed and delivered. Unjustified shooting death.
I thought the same thing when the Saint Trayvon Investigation was going on.
.
So Eric told his morons to stop watching porn and git them there Ferguson cops all straightened out? Or maybe he pulled everybody prosecuting the TBTF slumlord cases.
Talk about an ineffective government.
I suppose these cops don't have the $/influence to bribe/coerce the DOJ so look out!
Guess Obola was too busy to be bothered with such pedestrian matters. It's not like these folks need any hope & change anyways.
All the darkies can watch it on their new, stolen TVs while the smoke PCP to get ready for tonight's round of looting, rape, arson and murder.
Only if the cable bill has been paid!
I'm sure taxpayers are footing the bill for that already. FSA gotta have cable when all they do is sit at home all day waiting for the checks.
Do you know even one black person you like and/or respect?
Wow, guess not...
Thomas Sowell.
Thank God Sherlock Homie is on the case. Maybe he should travel to Chicago next, or perhaps take on the mysterious "Nail Gun Suicides".
It is so heartening that Mr. Holder can break away from his busy schedule of prosecuting the current raft of crimes; IRS, etc. etc. Really glad he is able to stay diligent with all he's got going on.
Well, it does say something about his real priorities.
Heavy on pacifying the restless natives.
Easy on the big Houses.
It's all about who pays your salary don'tcha know.
He did not say "Yo" or "knowwhatImean" one time.
He is such a clean Negro.
This is the same nigger that gave all that military hardware to the Mexican cartels, right? Maybe he's planning on hooking up his thug gang-banger homies in Ferguson?
How can you be sure? They all look alike to me.
Holder, you corrupt disgrace to cocksuckers everywhere, I hope you eat something that's gone very bad before it's over.
Black people who listen to your disgusting Oreo ass should have their fucking heads examined.
I'm hoping passions prevail over heads here.
This bullshit has gotta stop.
And it won't be white folk saying it until it's waaaaay too late.
A fourth autopsy should bring a conclusion to this circus farse.
They've already declared Jamie Dimon and Warren Buffett and Tony Mozilo and Hunter Biden and Erik Prince and Sumner Redstone and Kate Upton as "innocent of all charges whatever they may be in relation to this or any other matter. Like all detective work, it's a process of elimination. We will now be scrutinizing the children of Ferguson's fanny-packs. We encourage all Americans to be patient and above all 'stay glued to your televisions!'".
Well, they already have provided evidence the kid was a thief, carrying pot and started fighting with a cop. I dunno how objective their investigation will be.
Provided evidence?
You sure are easy to convince, aren't you.
Often the way when you look at the world through the eyes of a bigotted fool.
The other mulatto spoke.
Mr. Holder -- In ordering to begin the economic healing process, however, we must first see an end to the acts of market manipulation on Wall Street...
Moar upvotes!!!
I could not care less than I currently do about his color. I hate him because he won't do his job.
I hate him far more passionately because of his color, Ms.
For a black man to do it strikes me as infinitely more wrong.
It's profoundly more dispicable to me.
Beyond the simple facts of him not doing his job.
Glad to see your avatar out and about lately.
I hear what you are saying. I'm confident that if this calmed down and got out of the press he would NOT see it through, that he would go to the next squeeky wheel, so to speak. He seems to be a race themed showboat, politician, not a prosecutor nor a law enforcement officer of any kind.
I am reacting to people dissing him and O-blow-me because of their race. Nigger this, nigger that. They are stooges playing into the divisiveness being cultivated to keep our eyes on each other, and off the crooks.
I just decided I had to be honest, I have a smidge of a racist streak in me and I don't want to cultivate it. Overgeneralization is simplistic and dangerous. I have black friends who are smarter than me, nicer than me, more stylish than me, richer than me. And some who are not. I can feel my own anger at them as a group because they don't "act" how I think they should. I catch myself with the overgeneralizing as I read comments. And then I think of the people I know who are "black" and how awful I would feel if they knew I had those kinds of thoughts.
This shit starts with me. I can't do anything about anyone else. I love it when I hear the blacks say "This ain't about race." If they can go there, I should too.
Fight the real enemy: politicians, banksters, and corporations that will do anything for profit.
I hear ya.
They talk obnoxiously loud as they walk the street, they litter lawns, they disrespect property.
They deliberately drive the speed limit in the fast lane, they deliberately fill the aisles at stores so's we can't get past, they methodically slow things down at every turn, really.
I've been in scenes in Detroit where even black customers were feeling it and threatening mini-riots in stores.
I've read thousands of their children's essays, though, and been forced back upon the cold realization that we bred them for illiteracy. At the same time, I've worked in prisons and seen that even black gang members have more honor than Wall Street boyz. And, of course, I've seen how everyone but the "academically talented" get screwed at almost every turn by TPTB. Two hundred years plus and something fundamental still hasn't changed for them . . . yeah, I have to understand what has pissed them off and continues to piss them off.
I, too, have known them as friends and even family by marriage. I, too, have known the massive cognitive dissonance of it all.
Believe me, I feel you. I have to constantly remind myself why this crazy shit has happened.
But I do it. I like black people. It's no coincidence that they set the styles and that most of us who talk with them so deeply appreciate the opportunity to adopt the cadence and intonations of their speech, no matter how subtly. It feels very good. It's just more real.
I have no ambivalence about the black face prostitutes of the oligarchy, however.
Nice to see you as well, Ms!
The fucking "progressives" I naturally gravitate to have banned me.
Yeah, there's alot of racists and various bigots around here.
But it's a diverse community. And, when all is said and done, a strangely tolerant one.
An honest call Bob +1---Thanks
Holder is a POS, straight up.
Michael Brown's body will be laid to rest next Monday. This race hustler posing as the head of the department of Justice is going to whip up angst in the community every chance he can. I hate all of these people. They are dividing us to secure ever more power. Holder is a disgrace. He was appointed by a craven reprobate.
at least he looks like what he is. no deception
At least Al Sharpton and Jesse J. got off their asses to shake down corporations for money.
We pay this guy to enforce the law but we got a criminal and a race-baiter.
He gets the last laugh.
He's there to pull an Obama, to soothe the passions of a suddenly collectively aware populace pushed into fully enlivened protest.
He's there to okie doke them. In Black Face. What he's sweetly selling as "healing."
The House Niggas have stepped into the game as big playahs for the Oligarchy.
Why is that sonofabitch still in office?
Hey eric, I have a number you can call as well:
1800 - EAT - SHIT
"Today, I will be in Ferguson to be briefed on the federal civil rights investigation that I have closely monitored since I launched it more than one week ago. I will meet personally with community leaders, FBI investigators and federal prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office to receive detailed briefings on the status of this case." How about meeting with the local police Holder? They might have something important to say like Officer Wilson had his eye socket broken in this.
He has got to be one the top three best-ever self-serving liberal finger pointerz ever! Damn he's gud!
He will use the same intensity, courage and honor that he used in his investigation of the IRS pukes, especially the Liars from hell Maggot Lerner and Heeb Shulman?? Will it be OK for the cop to claim Executive Priviledge if charges are brought against him, like Roach Holder and the head Chimp did when Congress found him in Contempt for his bald faced lies on gun running to drug cartels? This avowed hater of whites might ponder this as he pinches a big Barak in the "Whites Only" Ferguson crapper.
FUCK YOU HOLDER, YOU SCUM SUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
HOW ABOUT INVESTIGATING EVERY STINKING MURDER....
oh wait...
THIS INVOLVES RACISM...SOMETHING YOU'RE REAL GOOD AT USING....YOU CUNT.
FUCK OFF SHITHEAD.
Some murders are more equal than others.
Any prosecutor who claims otherwise is lying the minute he or she opens their mouth.
Eric Holder, following the tradition of looting the nation before running away.
The people of Ferguson shoudl be calling for his head. His and Obama's and the rest of the political criminals who have done and are all doing the same.
That's quite a bit Holder wrote to basically say ..... Because Obama!
It's good to see the nigger putting his money where his mouth is, and actually supporting affirmative action beyond just "his people", as opposed to just paying it lip service, since his speechwriter is obviously mentally challenged, as Eric is not actually actually dumb enough and inexperienced enough to write:
"As the brother of a retired law enforcement officer, I know firsthand..."
really?
How about-
"As the nation's chief law enforcement officer, I know firsthand..."
Aw shucks.
It's not about me. It's about that poor innocent youth gunned down by Whitey.
It's about using any and every crisis whether real or created in order to advance a political agenda.
If you don't understand that, you are wasting your time and mine making comments on here.
Money is about money, not race, colour or creed.
The psychopaths who run the Third Rock just flat out don't give a fuck about anything but their own greed. Colour and religion are their favourite tool. Know why? BECAUSE IT FUCKING WORKS.
Eric "MY PEOPLE" Holder, architect of FAST & FURIOUS and pressing for the Jewish-Peruvian of mixed indian and black ancestry, Zimmerman's trial.
Truly this is a LAWLESS government. The IRS shredding all the pertinent emails and on and one it goes. It is almost too much to believe and yet it is all too true. Whites, who built this nation, now live under an OCCUPATION GOVERNMENT.
They are not lawless, they've got shit loads of 'em.
It's the asymmetry of the application of them that's the problem.
When the law is not applied evenly, it does way more harm than good.
Just look around, you'll see what I mean.
Whites, who stole the country and fucked it up are scared shitless they'll have to pay the price.
Just think, if white dudes hadn't imported black slaves, Africa would be a very different place, as would the US, and the world.
Mostly a problem caused by the Brits (I am one, by the way), Spanish and Portuguese 'empire building' (Theft)
You should read some history. Helps put things into perspective.
Let the down arrows rain.
Good job Holder - they're dying in droves in Chicago and Detroit.
Socialists inventing a crisis and running to the rescue - Holder you fake piece of shit.
ISIS also hass a message to the people of Ferguson:
'How is democracy treating you guys?' ISIS militants take to social media to encourage Ferguson protesters to embrace Islamic extremism'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2728624/How-democracy-treating-g...
That makes sense that ISIS would find brotherhood with the blacks in the US. Look at what ISIS motivation is here, THEY HATE WHITES. They, like all the rest of the world, wants Whites GONE.
‘ISIS Want to Impregnate Yazidi Women and Smash Our Blond Bloodline’: Fears Grow for the 300 Women Kidnapped from Sinjar
"Addressing the kidnapping, Adnan Kochar, chairman of the Kurdish Cultural Centre in London, told MailOnline: ‘The Kurds and Yazidis are originally Aryans. But because the Yazidis are such a closed community they have retained a fairer complexion, blonder hair and bluer eyes. They don’t marry non-Yazidis.'
You are obviously a little confused.
Putting aside what ISIS is and how it came about, what they are supposedly saying (Can't beat a good boogey man to distract the idiots - mentioning no names) does not involve colour, but belief in one particular invisible man in the sky.
If you were white, brown or black fundamentalist Muslim (again, if you believe the narrative) I think you'd be OK.
more race and religion being used against those who refuse to think.
A "good" example of pure democracy are the mobs in Ferguson-simply mob rule.
So the Kings Jestor is in town to speak to his people. The circus continues.
what fool trusts eric holder..............
Just another version of the most frightening words on earth:
"I'm from the goverment and I'm here to help."
P.S. As if Al sharpton and jessa jackson weren't bad enough!
When you treat the people as the enemy, that's exactly what you'll get.
Holder will probably supply the gang members and looters of Ferguson with assault rifles.
You've got to know when to Holder
Know when to fold 'er
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When Obama's done
FUCK HOLDER!
I agree, This lying lawyer is just throwing gas on the fire with his verbal posturing.
A FUCK HOLDER. Is that like a fleshlight or something? It holds fucks? Guess that is about right because he does not give a fuck at all.
Carry on.
Have we white folk ,just about had enough of this bullshit.
This evil Mother Fuc**ers represent 20% of the country and want to control 100% of the narrative. I am sick and fuckin tired of these pavement primates. Lets walk together and stop this bullshit.
If I did not know any better, I would think that the Zerohedge community did not like Eric Holder very much, LOL.
Do you like black faggots?
So comforting to know this lying cocksucker can take time from his busy schedule of covering up for his sack of shit boss's fuck ups long enough to weigh in on this trumped up bull shit circus going on in MO. I'll bet the locals are so proud, I only hope one of his beloved thugs lands a brick upside his nappy head.
That would be news worthy!
