Re: 2 Officers Are Shot Outside Ferguson Police Station
I have no problem with the report, I have a problem with Holder's timing. He was throwing out a bone to the race baiters.
The shooting is absolutely unnacceptable, those at fault must be found and brought to justice. But I think the actual behavior of citizen and cop drove the situation further than the comments of some politician. The report about the Ferguson police department was rather damning and it seems they weren’t, on whole, acting appropriately toward the people. The people similarly have behaved badly and lashed out in inexcusable violence. I think it’s easy to just point a finger at one guy, but I think that’s also a gross oversimplification of the complex dynamics of this system. And if we really want to solve the problem, we must examine the actual cause and effect relationships that have led us to this point.
