Eric Holder Heading to Ferguson

President announces in press conference.

President Barack Obama is sending Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson, Missouri, to meet with federal law enforcement authorities investigating the police shooting of an unarmed teenager.

Obama says Holder will travel to the St. Louis suburb on Wednesday.

Holder recently authorized a federal autopsy on the body of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old who was fatally shot on Aug. 9. Brown was black; the officer who shot him was white.

That should fix things.

Whenever Obama uses misdirection of a bland parochial side issue like a small town in Missouri; there is a bombshell coming and he misdirects. You've fallen for it again!! What a bunch of mental mushrooms. He keeps you in the dark and feeds you manure!!When are you going to learn?

Open borders - looking forward to my property tax increase and school surcharge next year...

Sure, that will help. Too bad they don't have any good golf courses, they might get the POTUS himself.

Well I think we can all admit, this situation really needed more political manipulation and so our Dear Administration has delivered.

I wonder what % of shooting victims get official POTUS commentary every year. Probably millions.

Great, one more race hustler.

This is really ironic - the people here (and Holder) don't want justice, they want a lynching. They want to see the officer hang, regardless of the facts, just because he's white.

Even though this is the exact sort of thing that used to happen to blacks 50 years ago.

Put cameras on the cops, problem solved. Either it's a good shoot, in which case show the world to make your case, or it isn't, in which case you can proceed with charges quickly before people get too riled up.
