Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday criticized what he called "extreme reactions that have demonized police" in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, which he blamed for "a significant increase in violent crime in many cities."

Barr was speaking at the White House beside President Donald Trump, who announced he will "surge" federal law enforcement officers to Chicago and other American cities in an expansion of the Justice Department program known as Operation Legend.

"We had that terrible death in Minneapolis," Barr said, referring to Floyd's death in police custody, "but then we had this extreme reaction that has demonized police and called for the defunding of police departments. And what we have seen then is a significant increase in violent crime in many cities. And this rise is a direct result of the attack on the police forces and the weakening of police forces."

Earlier in his remarks, Barr alluded to the "Black Lives Matter" movement, which has called for protests against police brutality. "The leading cause of death for young Black males is homicide," the attorney general said. "Every one of those lives matter."

Let someone stand on your neck and see how extreme it is.

[Thekaspervote]

1. Another out of touch ass h...republican

[BlueIdaho]

2. Fuck Bill Barr

He is a Nazi.

[rockfordfile]

12. I agree

[Moostache]

15. Absolutely. Fuck him hard.

Bill Barr deserves to be tossing salads on the inside this time next year...he should be a good prison spouse for cell block B.

[Blue Owl]

3. Go fuck yourself Barr

n/t

[uponit7771]

4. Barr hates non-whites in America also, fits right in with republicans and conservatism

[budkin]

5. He is the absolute fucking WORST

How he was allowed to be confirmed is beyond me.

[gratuitous]

6. Spoken like a man who's never had a cop's knee on his throat for 9 minutes

Or had a cop blindly shoot several bullets through this front window in the middle of the night while he was fast asleep. It really shouldn't be a privilege; it should be everyone's right not to be murdered on the street or shot to death while asleep in your bed. But apparently that's too "extreme" for some folks in our society.

7. The whitehouse is truly INFESTED!

Gonna be a long 4 months! Can't take much more of their BULLSHIT!

[ProfessorGAC]

8. No Billy. The Reaction To The Reaction Is Extreme

Gassing peaceful civilians for a photo-op is extreme.
Putting unidentified patrols on the street over graffiti is extreme.
Billy, you punk, you're the extremist, not those fed up with scum like you.

[crickets]

19. +1

[Marcuse]

9. Background on Barr:

10. sweet jeezus, he loves it.

anything to get his jackboots on the ground. I want Hannibal Lecter to have him over for dinner.

[Retrograde]

11. If George Floyd were the only person killed by police

in defiance of the law or standard processes -even looking at this year alone - then maybe the reaction was somewhat extreme. However, in less than two months the details of Ahmaud Arbery murder (and the refusal of local authorities to do anything) came out, Breonna Taylor was murdered in her bed, and the George Floyd was forcibly restrained and essentially strangled for suspicion of a minor offense - well, it was time to say enough is enough.

13. So Barr gets to decide what is appropriate? Fuck him.

[LastDemocratInSC]

14. The rest of us consider George Floyd's death extreme.

[dhill926]

16. well Billy, the reaction to your death....

will be extreme joy and celebration...

[bdamomma]

17. Barr

can drop dead, or even better have a knee on his trachea for fucking 8 minutes.

Fuck these bastards.

[JI7]

22. +

[Swede]

18. Trump has unleashed such a pack of scum on the USA.

It's hard to keep up with the daily horror show.

[NotANeocon]

20. Extreme is a relative term -

After all OTTO THIERACK didn't think the Shoah was extreme.

[JI7]

21. I want Barr to suffer a long painful death

[maxrandb]

23. What a coward.

I think Bill ought to find some fucking Fatboy Cammies and get out there on the streets.

I'm fucking sick of stupid, racist white guys who confuse the fucking shit coming out of Barr and Donnie Shit for Brains mouths as "strength" and "toughness".

These asspickles are exactly the same dipshits that start a barfight and then turntail and run like a scalded dog when punches and chairs start getting thrown around.

The real irony is, if they were honest with you, if you asked them to choose between Bill Barr or Hillary Clinton to have on their side in a fight, they would pick Hillary every time.

Marlon Brando described Bill Barr perfectly;

24. '..that terrible DEATH..' as opposed to the outright murder that it was.

Also, 'the leading cause of death of young black males is homicide.'; and he has no interest whatsoever how many of those homicides were committed by COPS.

I really really want the judicary committies to drag his fat ass into the well of a joint session after hes no longer AG, and cannot abuse the DOJ to protect himself from his own actions.l

[struggle4progress]

25. If anyone ever chokes Barr to death, I'll try to remember that it would be extreme to object
