Loretta Lynch to advise New York attorney general in probe of NYPD clashes with protesters
NBC "News" / Comcast ^ | June 10, 2020 | By Allan Smith

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Wednesday that former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch will advise her office's fast-moving probe of the New York Police Department and its clashes with protesters at demonstrations sparked by the fatal arrest of George Floyd.

James announced that Lynch and Barry Friedman, a New York University professor who serves as faculty director of the NYU Law Policing Project, will join the investigation as special advisers.

"The right to peacefully protest is one of our most basic civil rights, and we are working without rest to ensure that right is protected and guarded," James said in a statement. "As we continue our investigation, I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to seek answers and accountability, and that includes calling on the sharpest minds to lend their expertise."

"There is no question that Attorney General Lynch and Professor Friedman have the experience and knowledge, and our investigation will be all the more powerful because of their support," she continued.

As U.S. attorney general, Lynch led prominent Justice Department investigations into police departments, including the Chicago Police Department following the death of Laquan McDonald and the Baltimore Police Department following the death of Freddie Gray. In Chicago, the Justice Department probe found that police were using "unjustified" and "excessive" force, and issued a plan for reform.

"There is no greater responsibility of government than the protection of its citizens,” Lynch said in a statement. "It is time to examine recent events to ensure that all New Yorkers receive truly equal protection under the law. I look forward to working with Attorney General James and her outstanding team on these important issues."

You have got to be kidding me. The cops are now the criminals and the criminals are saints. I think the entire NYPD should just quit. Go be a cop in some medium or small city that actually respects and appreciates the police.

All rioting and looting took place in cities and states run by democrats. If she gave an honest opinion she would recommend voting for Republicans.

But she’s in the bag for democrat plantation owners ... so we know what she’ll recommend...

If only she had walked the walk. In one sense , folks like Lynch and McCabe are nothing more but tools used by a mafia-like cabal to get their way.. The Third Way.

At first I read ‘Loretta Lynn’ and Im like “Go Loretta! Stand By Our Men— in blue!”
Then I realized...oh, geez. Not her again.
We *are* realizing how deep in this sh#t ValJar & Obama are, aren’t we?
In fact, Obama had a fundraiser online a few weeks ago, raising $ for “an agressive and sustained effort to *damage* Trump.”

This needs to be investigated.

If I was a cop in NYC, I would be type up my resignation and have it notarized with witnesses. Then turning in my gun/shield and other gear in a full screen video stored in several clouds with good security.

Have the above, handed, in by the people, who deliver summons to my direct commanding police officer after I was out of state headed to Floriduh for a new career.

A New Global Police to Fight “Violent Extremism” in the U.S.?
10/6/2015, 10:28:04 AM · by Sean_Anthony · 25 replies
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/06/15 | Matthew Vadum
Why exactly does Obama want the “Strong Cities Network”? The Obama administration plans to create a global police force that counters “violent extremism” in the United States and elsewhere. The problem is that in Obama-speak “violent extremism” refers not only to jihadists wishing to harm Americans but also to conservatives and Tea Party activists. Just ask all the law-abiding right-of-center nonprofit groups targeted by Lois Lerner’s IRS during the Obama presidency. Ominously, President Obama and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch unveiled the Strong Cities Network last week at the United Nations. America’s chief executive, who speaks in hushed and reverent...
