Statement by Attorney General Eric Holder on Latest Developments in Ferguson, Missouri

Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement Thursday following his meeting earlier today with President Obama to discuss the latest developments in Ferguson, Missouri:

“This morning, I met with President Obama to discuss the events in Ferguson, Missouri. Like the President, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Michael Brown. While his death has understandably caused heartache within the community, it is clear that the scenes playing out in the streets of Ferguson over the last several nights cannot continue.



“For one thing, while the vast majority of protests have been peaceful, acts of violence by members of the public cannot be condoned. Looting and willful efforts to antagonize law enforcement officers who are genuinely trying to protect the public do nothing to remember the young man who has died. Such conduct is unacceptable and must be unequivocally condemned.



“By the same token, the law enforcement response to these demonstrations must seek to reduce tensions, not heighten them. Those who peacefully gather to express sympathy for the family of Michael Brown must have their rights respected at all times. And journalists must not be harassed or prevented from covering a story that needs to be told.



“At a time when we must seek to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the local community, I am deeply concerned that the deployment of military equipment and vehicles sends a conflicting message. At my direction, Department officials have conveyed these concerns to local authorities. Also at my direction, the Department is offering – through our COPS office and Office of Justice Programs – technical assistance to local authorities in order to help conduct crowd control and maintain public safety without relying on unnecessarily extreme displays of force. The local authorities in Missouri have accepted this offer of assistance as of this afternoon.



“Department officials from the Community Relations Service are also on the ground in Missouri to help convene law enforcement officials and civic and faith leaders to plot out steps to reduce tensions in the community. The latest such meeting was convened in Ferguson as recently as this morning. Over time, these conversations should consider the role that increased diversity in law enforcement can play in helping to build trust within communities.



“All the while, the federal civil rights investigation into the shooting incident itself continues, in parallel with the local investigation into state law violations. Our investigators from the Civil Rights Division and U.S. attorney’s office in Missouri have already conducted interviews with eyewitnesses on the scene at the time of the shooting incident on Saturday. Our review will take time to conduct, but it will be thorough and fair.”

@Say it Wit Ya Chest
well as a white male i don't share the same life experience in dealing with the police, but i think that the tactics employed by law enforcement in america are disgusting and detrimental to the overall quality of life for all citizens. i fear for the safety of the citizens of ferguson and for black folks in general. i have the privilege of viewing the situation from the outside but i side 100% with the protestors and journalists who are doing everything they can to illuminate the general public of the realities of what is going on in poor urban communities. i think the media coverage of this event primarily being done through twitter and viral media is a lot more helpful than it being completely ignored by major network news and the traditional press.

i live in a very racially divided city. black citizens in pittsburgh have never gotten any sort of fair treatment from the police, and high profile instance sof police brutality and murder have been around since i was a kid. an important one was johnny gammage in brentwood PA in 1992 which even at 10 years old then began to show me as a white person what black people have to deal with and it is very sad. personally i am not a fan of any police officer (i have one friend from college who is a black gang outreach officer in PG county MD and he is the only one i trust to actually understand what kids are dealing with in the streets because he has been there as well) and i operate under the old 4-Skins (english skinhead band) motto ACAB (All Cops Are b*stards). i think they are legalized brutal thugs who are under a regime that will steamroll everything that attempts to change the status quo.

i think the activists on twitter and other social media are doing the best they can to open people's eyes in the rest of the country and the world. all i can do is hold out hope that the protestors will be lucky and will not be exposed to any further police-driven violence.. i am a supporter of the yogic principle of ahimsa (i am a yoga teacher, this means non-harming) and i don't support violence. however i *DO* support the protestors defending themselves in any way necessary to protect themselves and their families. if they are attacked, fight back. i just sadly wish we didn't live in a world where the cops are above the law and traipsing around the US like the Gestapo.

i want Anonymous to expose the corrupt law enforcement administration covering up this situation. i want the officer who killed this poor kid exposed and put on trial and put in jail for the rest of his life. i want the folks in ferguson to get some relief from the federal government to rebuild any black-owned businesses that may have been destroyed (if any have been destroyed) and i want the governors of every state to work on creating more civilian oversight of the police force.

i want a lot of things that the current power structure in america built on institutionalized racism, classism, and corporate domination simply doesn't want to happen.

i also wish that people in the public eye (celebs, writers, thinkers) to focus on this and keep their minds off the general distractions the media create as we literally have warzones in our country at this moment and i know i won't get my wish.

if you have any more specific questions i would be happy to respond.
