Eric Holder: ‘Change is coming’ after police shooting in Ferguson
Washington Times ^ | Aug 20, 2014 | Jim Suhr

Posted on 08/21/2014 1:34:20 PM PDT by Ray76

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder reassured college students Wednesday in suburban St. Louis [] at the Florissant campus of St. Louis Community College

Kiyanda Welch said Holder talked to her and other students about the unrest and their own interaction with police. The attorney general told the group, “change is coming,” Welch said.

In a letter published late Tuesday on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website, Holder promised a thorough investigation while calling for an end to the violence in Ferguson. He said the bond of trust between law enforcement and the public is “all-important” but also “fragile.”

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,” Holder wrote.

"Change is coming" - so it's not about investigating a shooting but in promoting an agenda.

As if there was a doubt regarding Holder's motivations.

“reflect the diversity of the communities”
In other words, racial quotas which are illegal and unconstitutional, even if there are laws allowing them.

The former Mayor of Ferguson (who interestingly enough is white) was on Fox News the other morning saying how for six years he kept asking black community leaders to refer police officer candidates to him, and he never received a single one.

Kind of says not many of them are interested in becoming cops.

I saw a statistic a while back that said 1 out of every 3 black men is in prison, on parole, or on probation. Where, pray tell, are all of these police that “reflect diversity” going to come from? The ranks of law-breakers?

“reflect the diversity of the communities”

In Houston, there would be a lot of Hispanics and Blacks fired and Whites hired to make this happen...

Is this new “change” or the one supposedly delivered in 2008?
I guess they’ll have to be satisfied with hope.
