Whats the matter, Holder? Run into some cops with balls who
don't like snotty democrat policitians?
And won't put up with their shit?
Attorney General Eric Holder went to the strife torn town of
Ferguson today where he met with the family of slain teenager
Michael Brown and talked about his own run-ins with police that
left him "angry and upset."
The nations top law enforcement official, who is the first
African-American named to the post, said he hoped his presence
and interest in the case would have a calming influence on the
area.
Ferguson has been roiled by angry protests, rock and bottle
throwing and some looting since Brown, 18, was shot and killed
by Police Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. Brown was African-
American and Wilson is white.
Holder told people in Ferguson that he understood their mistrust
of police.
I am the attorney general of the United States. But I am also a
black man, Holder said. I've confronted this myself.
The AG recalled being stopped by police on the way to a movie in
Georgetown, a well-to-do suburb of Washington, DC.
Police car comes driving up, flashes his lights, yells, 'Where
you going? Hold it, Holder told residents. Now my cousin
started mouthing off. I'm like, 'This is not where we want to
go. Keep quiet.'
At the time that [the police officer] stopped me, I was a
federal prosecutor. I wasn't a kid. I was a federal prosecutor.
I worked at the United States Department of Justice, he said.
Holder said the encounter left him angry and upset.
The attorney general also described having his car searched
during routine traffic stops on the New Jersey Turnpike.
I remember how humiliating that was and how angry I was, he
said.
Holder, who also met with local FBI agents and justice
department personnel, promised a thorough federal
investigation.
My hope is that will give people some degree of confidence, he
said.
The AG congratulated Missouri Highway Police Capt. Ron Johnson,
who was called in to take charge of policing in Ferguson.
My man, you are the man, Holder told Johnson. Youre making a
real difference.
Sho' 'nuff, bro! We niggas got to stick togetha'! We own this
show and we g'win stick it to whitey!
