The lieutenant governor of Missouri says there is more racism in the Justice Department than in the St. Louis area, pointing the finger at President Obama and the Justice Department who, he says, often incited the mob in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown back in August of 2014.
The whole blow up of this protest movement was based on the lie that never happened of hands up dont shoot, Peter Kinder, the Lt. governor told NewsMaxTVs Steve Malzberg Show Monday. But its bad enough the protestors were behaving that way but we have a right to expect more from the attorney general, the head of the Justice Department of the United States, and the president of the United States. And instead what we got too often from them was incitement of the mob, and, uh, encouraging disorder in Ferguson and distributing the peaceable going-about of our lives in the greater St. Louis region.
Kinder added President Obama and Eric Holder took one side following the death of Michael Brown. Asked why, he said the Justice Department was staffed with radical, hard-left radical, leftists lawyers.
Many of them have spent most of their careers defending Black Panthers and other violent radicals, he added.

(27,461 posts)I have the feeling that no one at DU said anything like this. What I suspect happened is that someone disagreed with you and you are characterizing it this way, that is to say unfairly.

With the Lt. Gov. saying this.... suggests that he believes everything is good in Ferguson, and should be left as is (in all its turning its black citizens into debtors and felons in order to significantly fund the city government.) Perhaps we should refer to him as Lt. Feudal Lord Kinder.
I didn't speak out on that thread - but would have to say this indicates that the feds should manage any takeover/supervision of city functions in Ferguson.
