Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. this week will launch a broad civil rights investigation into the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department, according to two federal law enforcement officials.In a rational world, the troubles in Ferguson would be good anti-Democrat fodder for the news; the city of Ferguson, like its parent St. Louis, are Democratic strongholds. The city governments and police are controlled by the democratic machine, and the unions. Inequities there should be laid directly at their feet. But that's not where Eric Holder is going to take this investigation, you can be sure. No doubt he'll target the banks and retailers who provide what services they can to the community.
The investigation, which could be announced as early as Thursday afternoon, will be conducted by the Justice Department’s civil rights division and follow a process similar to that used to investigate complaints of profiling and the use of excessive force in other police departments across the country, the officials said.
The move follows the shooting last month of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African American, by a white Ferguson police officer who claimed he acted in self-defense. Brown, who was unarmed, was shot at least six times on the afternoon of Aug. 9.
Holder’s decision will represent the Obama administration’s most aggressive step to address the Ferguson shooting, which set off days of often-violent clashes between police and demonstrators in the streets of the St. Louis suburb.
The federal officials said the probe will look not only at Ferguson but also at other police departments in St. Louis County. Some, like Ferguson, are predominantly white departments serving majority-African-American communities, and at least one department invited the Justice Department to look at its practices. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the pending inquiry.
The democrats are desperate to hold the Senate, and inflaming their notoriously mid-term apathetic
The same pattern is becoming evident with women. Single women vote predominantly Democrat and less in midterms, married women vote Republican, and vote more in the midterms. Hence we get:
Debbie Wasserman Schultz says: "Scott Walker has given women the back of his hand" and "What Republican tea party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back."Yep, and expect even more.
What does that even refer to? That's really shameless. The violent imagery is despicable, and disrespectful to victims of actual violence. Why bring in women'shair? It seems mental.
