Holder Says He’s ‘Prepared’ To Dismantle Ferguson Police Department If Necessary
By Katie Zezima March 6
Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday the Department of Justice is ready to take any and all steps that are needed to reform the Ferguson, Mo., police department, including the potential dismantling of the force.
Speaking to reporters at Andrews Air Force Base after a trip to South Carolina with President Obama, Holder said he was stunned by what the investigation uncovered, and will go to all necessary lengths to address racial bias and other systemic issues within the force. A Department of Justice report released Wednesday showed the police department demonstrated a pattern of racial bias and committed constitutional violations.
"We are prepared to use all the powers that we have, all the power that we have, to ensure that the situation changes there. That means everything from working with them to coming up with an entirely new structure," Holder said. When asked if that included dismantling the department, he said, "If that's what's necessary, we're prepared to do that."
Holder said he was "shocked" -- surprised was "not a strong enough word," he said -- by the number of people who were mistreated by the department, and the breadth of the abuses.

Ferguson is already over. Who would move there?
What about Lois Lerner’s constitutional violations, Holder?
I’m prepared to prosecute the Head Federal Dick for F&F.
Lie big, eh? Do you think he really believes it like Goebbels did or is it just an act?
Good, dismantle it. Put Al Sharpton in charge, see how good it goes. The guy who got his store robbed by the thug Michael Brown, he also got his store destroyed later on during the riots and looting. What did he do wrong? Absolutely nothing. But let’s not focus on that shall we, let’s focus instead on cops trying to prevent that.
Fantastic dictatorship we have here.
Every other day obama and his fellow bullies are threatening some Americans for something (like doing their jobs).
[Holder said he was stunned by what the investigation uncovered]
I want to hear specifics.
Why don’t they execute the whole force?
Didn’t this guy resign? Will he never be gone?
I’m prepared to dismantle Holder.
Tell me about, if I lived there I would sell everything I got and the hell out because crime is going to absolutely explode in there. Dismantle the cops?? LOL! Can you imagine having your life savings invested in a store in that area and the AG says he’s getting rid of the cops after the area just went through riots and looting? GOODBYE! Anyone who owns any kind of business in that area is nuts.
Under what legal authority?
Well Nixon won’t do anything to stop him. He already proved he is Holders little bitch.
Anything to try to appease his “people”.
“Holder said he was “shocked” — surprised was “not a strong enough word,” he said — by the number of people who were mistreated by the department, and the breadth of the abuses.”
Knowin’ those mistreated were all HIS PEOPLE that he talked to. They’re just pee’d ‘cause they don’t rule. They want to rule just like Obama, and Holder.
No. He has been reinstituted. Are you stupid, or just inane?
All because a black guy refused to move his fat butt out of the way of cop car then tried to grab his gun and kill him with it....
Didn’t he leave already? I mean as AG?
Yep. Who would stay there if they weren’t totally stuck?
