"If they bring a knife, WE bring a gun."
Now WHO was he talking to?

The number of officers killed in the line of duty jumped 13 percent in 2011 compared with the year before - and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder condemned the increase as “a devastating and unacceptable trend” that he blamed on illegal firearms.
The number of deceased law enforcement officers rose to 173 killed in the line of duty this year, from 153 in 2010, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund announced Wednesday. This year’s figure is 23 percent higher than the 122 killed in the line of duty in 2009.

Indeed - the arrogance is just breathtaking.
> that he blamed on illegal firearms.
Like the ones he gave to drug lords?

Yes, and three of them you killed, you odious piece of sh*t.
He's a very bold man to follow this narrative which was his intent from the beginning and the reason this all started in the first place.
There is no mention of "illegal firearms" in the report itself.
In fact the chairman of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (responsible for the report) had this to say:
"Drastic budget cuts affecting law enforcement agencies across the country have put our officers at grave risk," said National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund chairman Craig Floyd.
"At a time when officers are facing a more cold-blooded criminal element and fighting a war on terror, we are cutting vital resources necessary to ensure their safety and the safety of the innocent citizens they protect."
By the end of this year, nearly 12,000 police officers and sheriff's deputies will have been laid off, according to a U.S. Department of Justice report released in October. And nearly 30,000 law enforcement jobs are unfilled.
`Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad’ comes to mind. But I think you’re right: this is hybris on a scale that would make an ancient Greek playwright shake his head.
There’s still something to be said for the possibility that he’s lost whatever marbles this political hack ever had. It’s like the orphan who killed his parents defense.
Additional info on the report (although not responsive to the detailed breakdown you and I would like to see).
PS: Good tagline
Shut up and go to prison, Holder.
SO, as long as he and his masters are the one sanctioning a murder with a firearm, it’s okay
Surely Holder is including the illegal guns that make their way back across the border from Mexico. He needs to look squarely in the mirror before making his statement about illegal guns.
“”By the end of this year, nearly 12,000 police officers and sheriff’s deputies will have been laid off, according to a U.S. Department of Justice report released in October. And nearly 30,000 law enforcement jobs are unfilled.”
Great! Still too damn many.

But they support ze bam. They will stand with their stupid union and praise the bastich to high heaven while ‘holder’s people’ shoot them down. And they see no irony in this?
Not slain by law-abiding gun owners. Slain by thugs that leftist society won’t control, who grew up running wild in dysfunctional homes.
There are no words to describe holder’s hypocrisy and dishonesty. None.
