Attorney Gen. Eric Holder on Thursday announced a review of racial bias within the nations law enforcement agencies, further expanding the federal response to last months fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen in Missouri.
The three-year initiative will include five "major activities" in yet unidentified U.S. cities, undertaken by a consortium of criminal justice experts funded through a $4.75 million grant. The effort, which will also involve testing policing strategies and providing training, is meant to develop a strategy to combat bias within police forces around the country.
Holder said the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown highlighted the governments obligation "to ensure fairness, to eliminate bias and to build community engagement."
Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, allegedly shot Brown six times during a confrontation on Aug. 9, setting off weeks of violent protests and igniting a national debate on the use of force.
Holder has launched federal civil rights probes into the shooting itself, as well as a broader investigation of the predominantly white Ferguson Police Department, which serves a largely black community.
He declined Thursday to discuss the status of those investigations.
His decision to launch a national effort follows his personal visit to Ferguson in the shootings aftermath, during which he heard first-hand accounts of the community members views of their police force.
"We can't allow these tensions to go unresolved," he said.
Amen brother. Wonder if I just committed a hate crime by typing “Amen.”
He could start with the black sheriff in Georgia who fired white cops, had them escorted from the property at gunpoint, and transported to their personal cars in prisoner transport vans.
Get Whitey Holder is grasping at straws.
White taxpayers in the US really need to get together and en masse, enact a “tax holiday” for at least one day, to protest this anti-white Just-Us Dept. Let them run their anti-white government without our money for a while. Let them pay for their own parasites to loot, knockout, breed.
I missed that, I’ll bet Holder already approves.
Bump
At least we have our priorities right.
Meanwhile, illegal aliens continue to stream across the border and Chicago is a Murder Capital of the World.
This is the sort of thing that has led to the trivialization of the Obama administration.
Holder really does like witch hunts. Wait until he’s the target of one some day in the near future.
Undoubtedly. The black sheriff placed snipers on the roof with their weapons trained on the white police officers as they “escorted” from the property! Holder casts a fine net to look for trumped-up evidence of “bias” while ignoring actual, in-your-face bias against whites-the voter intimidation by the New Black Pampers, all the many, many victims of the “knockout game”, etc. Why are we-whites-paying for this? Why do we not call for a day of protest, and withholding our money to fund this war against us and our children?
Agreed, although a legit one and the sooner the better, preferably one that puts him in a federal slammer.
“If someone here knows by what authority Holder can single out police departments nationally on suspicions of racial bias please post them.”
This is just an extension of the “study” showing racial bias in school discipline. Any place blacks are prosecuted more than whites for any type of offense is proof of bias according to this admin. For example if 90% of those arrested for crack are black that is bias even if only 10 % of offenders were non-black (stats here are not real and are for example only).
It sounds more like a vendetta to me.
History teaches that every single Marxist regime with a dictatorial/narcissistic leader and movement at the helm, has committed genocide against their political enemies first.
We’re imbeciles to ignore the warning signs.
Why the strategic placement of MRAPs around the country and the stockpiling of hollow point ammunition and grenade launchers for “school districts”????
Connecting the dots should be easy because the picture is nearly complete.
Most Americans simply refuse to believe such a thing is possible here.
Same thing the Jews in Europe thought, even though the evidence was all around them.
I wonder if Holder will EVER understand how much BIAS WE all feel toward him???
I wish someone would launch a national review on the bias of criminals.
