The police in the United States find themselves sharing space with Jeremiah Wright under the bus where Barack Obama has thrown them. Every day sees a non-stop litany of lies and canards flowing from the mouths of Barack Obama, Eric Holder and the rest of the race pimps. The Michael Brown shooting? Well, you see, we have all these racist cops.
“In many communities of color [people] have a sense that our laws are not always being enforced uniformly or fairly,”
Eric Holder implied that only black cops can police black neighborhoods:
“Over time, … [the police] should consider the role that increased diversity in law enforcement can play in helping to build trust within communities,” Holder said in a statement released Thursday afternoon.
Of course, that would not guarantee a black cop would have responded in Ferguson on the eventful day but facts are unimportant to liberals. Larry Elder also remarked that if racial composition must rule then Barack Obama should not be President since blacks make up only 13% of the population.
It was the cops who caused the riots, doncha know:
Current and former police chiefs said on Sunday that law enforcement agencies around the nation must not repeat the mistakes that led to riots in Ferguson.
Except it didn’t go that way. Barack Sharpton and Jesse Holder would like you to believe that it was the “militarized” police presence that caused the riots. It wasn’t.
Michael Brown was shot on Saturday, August 9. A candlelight vigil is held the next day, August 10. The same day, Al Sharpton announces that he’s flying in to demand justice and that evening riots break out.
FERGUSON, Mo. – Tensions reached a boiling point Sunday night following an officer involved shooting that left a teenager dead. The violence began after a planned rally and vigil in the wake of the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Brown was the unarmed teenager shot to death by an Ferguson police officer on Saturday afternoon.
Police officers from every jurisdiction in the St. Louis area were called into Ferguson Sunday evening. The strong police presence became necessary after violence and looting were reported in the area. Witnesses say tensions began rising at the intersection of West Florissant and Ferguson around 8:30 p.m. In response Ferguson police called in an extra 60 officers as well as officers from all surrounding jurisdictions.
Officer Brian Schellman with the St. Louis County Police Department says 200 officers were called to the area from at least two dozen departments, but approximately 300 total officers were in the area. Many officers who were not called in responded anyway.
The SWAT teams were not present until AFTER the rioting and looting began. More here and here.
The incompetent Governor Jay Nixon, as we have previously noted, relieved the local police in favor of the Highway Patrol, led by the black Captain Ron Johnson. That worked for about ten minutes before looting and rioting again took place and Nixon called in the National Guard.
Jesse Holder has decided not to let a crisis go to waste and plans on a new set of decrees that restrict the ability of the police to do their sworn duties:
“In the coming days, I will announce updated Justice Department guidance regarding profiling by federal law enforcement. This will institute rigorous new standards — and robust safeguards — to help end racial profiling, once and for all,” Holder said. “This new guidance will codify our commitment to the very highest standards of fair and effective policing.”
Holder has already called for race-based discipline. We can only expect him to call for race-based law enforcement next.
To paraphrase one commenter at Politico this morning
DISPATCHER: One Adam 12, we have a report of a 211 at the Qwik Mart on South Florissant.
RESPONDER: Roger, dispatch. Any word on the suspects?
DISPATCHER: Report of one suspect.
RESPONDER: Do you have a description, Dispatch?
DISPATCH: Uh…..I can’t.
RESPONDER: Er, sorry? Please repeat.
DISPATCH: No can do, Adam 12. New Holder rule. That would be racial profiling. Good luck.
A lesson is sorely needed. A selective case of blue flu is in order, in the communities which despise the police the most- Portland, the St. Louis area, and Amherst, Massachusetts, the home of Hampshire College, which apparently has nothing but racists on its police force.
“No justice, no peace; no racist ass police,” chanted Hampshire College students and members of surrounding colleges as they stormed local Massachusetts stores over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
And we’d like a side of minimum wage from you racists while we’re at it.
This regime has declared war on cops. They’re all racists. It’d be wonderful lesson for the whiners to see what life is like without those racist bastards protecting their asses.
It’d also be great if Obama and his henchmen would stop lying.

In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica.

DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
