In reply to the discussion: Obama Speaks Carefully So That He Doesn’t Prejudice The Federal Ferguson Investigation [View all]sheshe2
(97,562 posts)109. I just got home from work a short while ago.
I love that link to Holder...
But U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder often seems willing to say what Obama wont. Take yesterday, for example, when the nations top federal law-enforcement official made a not-so-subtle jab at local law enforcement in a written statement.
I realize there is tremendous interest in the facts of the incident that led to Michael Browns death, but I ask for the publics patience as we conduct this investigation. The selective release of sensitive information that we have seen in this case so far is troubling to me. No matter how others pursue their own separate inquiries, the Justice Department is resolved to preserve the integrity of its investigation. This is a critical step in restoring trust between law enforcement and the community, not just in Ferguson, but beyond.
That was fairly blunt rhetoric under the circumstances, and with Holder traveling to Ferguson tomorrow, one assumes the Attorney General will have some other choice words once on the ground locally.

I need to go back tomorrow and read some of those sub-links, Cha. Thank you, a great read. Truth Cha....facts in black and white for all to read. Sadly some will not.
