The executive branch of the federal government is supposed to function as the chief law enforcement agency in America. Acting in that capacity, it’s generally expected that the president and his attorney general will have the backs of all law enforcement officers, at every level, across the country. At least until all the facts are known in a particular case. And yet – to Barack Hussein Obama and his pal Eric Holder – justice isn’t really blind, and skin color always seems to trump the law.
Time and again we’ve seen a rush to judge in favor of suspects over police officers. If the perpetrator’s skin is black, and the cop’s white, the assumption seems to be: the “police must have acted stupidly.” Rather than urge caution and restraint in a racially-sensitive situation, Obama and Holder will always opt to fuel the flames of anger, suspicion and resentment.
And consider the tragic consequences of the duo’s agit-prop ~
George Zimmerman’s life is basically ruined because Barack Obama decided Trayvon Martin looked like the son he never had (instead of the hooded punk he really was). The town of Ferguson, MO will be forever infamous and now must struggle to repair damaged businesses, careers, relationships and lives.
As Thomas Sowell asserts in National Review ~
Businesses and neighborhoods may never recover from the present anarchy
Soon after the shooting death of Michael Brown, this 285-pound young man was depicted as a “gentle giant.” But, after a video was leaked, showing him bullying the owner of a store from which he had stolen some merchandise, Attorney General Eric Holder expressed displeasure that the video was leaked. In other words, to Holder the truth was offensive, but the lie it exposed was not […]
Sometimes it is a particular neighborhood that never recovers, and sometimes it is a whole city. Detroit is a classic example. It had the worst riot of the 1960s, with 43 deaths — 33 of them black people. Businesses left Detroit, taking with them jobs and taxes that were very much needed to keep the city viable. Middle class people — both black and white — also fled […]
Who benefits from the Ferguson riots? The biggest beneficiaries are politicians and racial demagogues. In Detroit, Mayor Coleman Young was one of many political demagogues who were able to ensure their own reelection, using rhetoric and policies that drove away people who provided jobs and taxes, but who were likely to vote against him if they stayed. Such demagogues thrived as Detroit became a wasteland.

When the grand jury found no reason to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown, was Eric Holder out front explaining that the justice system had prevailed and calling for the demonstrators to stand down? Ha!
Instead DOJ “investigated” the entire Ferguson police department. (Another attempt to distort the facts, as Larry Elder pointed out in The Farcical Ferguson Report.)
As the ridiculous #HandsUpDontShoot phenomenon (based entirely on a lie) spread across the country, protesters caused further property damage from coast to coast, snarled Boston traffic for hours and two cops were gunned down in cold-blood in New York City.
Then the race-baiting chickens came home to roost in Ferguson last week when two more cops were shot; this time – thank God – not fatally.
In the wake of that most recent attack, Fox’s Martha MacCallum spoke with former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani (If anyone understands the importance of trust and loyalty within the ranks of law enforcement it’s Giuliani, America’s Mayor.) ~
When President Obama was first elected didn’t the mainstream media assure us that racial divisiveness was at an end? That America was entering a post-racial era? The fact is Barack Obama – along with his attorney general – was uniquely positioned to foster racial harmony; to truly help heal any lingering grievances and move beyond skin color.
Instead, for the past six years they’ve not only tragically squandered the opportunity to have a positive influence, they’ve made things infinitely worse, pouring salt in our race wounds ~
The violence should not come as a surprise, given the ugly tone set by the nation’s top law-enforcement officer, Attorney General Eric Holder.
Col. Allen West talked about this issue with Charles Payne on Fox & Friends last December. Both (incidentally, black) men believe that Obama is purposely stoking racial division ~
“When you have someone like Al Sharpton visiting the White House and providing him counsel eighty-two times and standing and putting pressure on Sony and other individuals, and this angst that has happened, and this mob atmosphere that is going on, this is really what the president would like to have – this vomiting of dissension. But that is not what the inner-city needs right now. We need economic growth. We need better education opportunities. But that’s not the focus.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Americans of every color deserve so much better than this shameful, deliberate attempt to increase racial animosity. It’s a sorry disgrace that these men – who we had hoped would be respectable, responsible leaders – instead exhibit no greater dignity, honor or integrity than does race-hustling Al Sharpton.
