Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said Tuesday that the shooting of the unarmed black teenager by a police officer in suburban St. Louis and the tense protests, riots and national discussion that it sparked has left the country at a "moment of decision" about how police interact with racial minorities.

"These tensions simmer every day in far too many communities across the country," Holder said. "The situation in Ferguson has presented leaders across the nation … with a moment of decision, a moment of decision, a series of important questions that can no longer be avoided."

The remarks came during a speech delivered Tuesday afternoon at New York University's Brennan Center for Justice -- in which the attorney general touted new numbers showing a year-over-year decline in the number of federal prisoners for the first time in decades.

Holder, who has frequently played the role of the most outspoken member of the Obama administration when it comes to matters of race issues in America....

Holder is a horse’s ass.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

He loves guns when he’s holding up a recuitment center.

[colorado tanker]

Could these jackwagons do anything more to prejudge this case and thoroughly contaminate any jury pool?

[ronnie raygun]

Holder protects the thug lifestyle because he is one himself

[PGR88]

I simply fail to see the importance he wants to attach to this.

I wonder what % of the population he thinks he speaks for?

[Dallas59]

Huh? What you talking about white man?

[suijuris]

Yep, I made a decision to buy more ammo.

[Blue Jays]

That nitwit Eric Holder is still yammering about this incident?
Heaven forbid a community calm itself and return to normal.

[John Valentine]

What decision, what important question is that?

That thugs, armed robbers and assaulters are not to be held to account by the law if they happen to be black? How’s that for even-handed race relations?

[Jane Long]

Yeah, he’s right. We’ve decided we’re sick and tired of the ginned up race baiting taking place in the Dept of Just Us Brothers.

[SatinDoll]

My neighbors, who are from Ukraine, use that “horse’s ass” to describe Vladimir Putin, too.

[rktman]

Wha# No barf alert? ;-)

"The situation in Ferguson has presented leaders across the nation … with a moment of decision, a moment of decision, a series of important questions that can no longer be avoided."

I agree. The first question we absolutely cannot avoid is: "How much longer will we, the taxpayers, tolerate feral minority yutes running wild in the streets, committing their vile depredations on individuals and society at large?"

The second question, Mr. (Weiner) Holder, is as follows: "What the hell are you going to do about these feral minority yutes?"

"What the hell are you going to do about these feral minority yutes?"

You mean beyond making sure they have both EBT and voter registration cards?

[Don Corleone]

IMPEACH HOLDER for starters.

[Da Coyote]

Holder presents the country with moments of derision.

What a dork.

A dork who should still be in jail.

[Dilbert San Diego]

That’s the message. Negro people will be held to a lesser standard. In any confrontation between people of the Negro and Caucasian backgrounds, the Caucasian will have the burden of proof to show that whatever force used against a Negro person was justified and proportionate to whatever threat existed.

Burden of proof will be on the Caucasian person to show that there was a threat in the first place, as the presumption will be that the Negro person was simply going about his business and was accosted and threatened first by the Caucasian person.

[no-to-illegals]

from the withholder quote ... you cannot make this stuff up ...
"These tensions simmer every day in far too many communities across the country," Holder said.

These tension simmer ... to riot, loot or steal ... withholder said of his people ... (interpretation).
