Why not go after these racist cities?

Posted March 19, 2015 12:01 am

Protesters are still in Ferguson, Mo. and they want Darrel Wilson put in jail. One of the protesters was unaware that 40 FBI agents and Eric Holder found that "multiple credible witnesses corroborate virtually every material aspect of Wilson's account and are consistent with the physical evidence."

The protester said if that is true, it should be on TV. Evidently the main stream media that ran with "hands up don't shoot" has not led with the story that "hands up don't shoot" was a terrible lie.

Holder now says that Darren Wilson didn't do anything wrong but that the Ferguson police force is racists because blacks have far more arrests then the rest of the population. But Ferguson is not alone. The ACLU has pointed out that New York City, Boston, Newark, Philadelphia and Minneapolis also have blacks arrested far more times than the rest of the population. Why hasn't Eric Holder gone after these racist cities that are all controlled by Democrats?
