Obama sending attorney general Holder to Missouri

 WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is sending Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson, Missouri, to meet with federal law enforcement authorities investigating the police shooting of an unarmed teenager.

Obama says Holder will travel to the St. Louis suburb on Wednesday.

Holder recently authorized a federal autopsy on the body of Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old who was fatally shot on Aug. 9. Brown was black; the officer who shot him was white.

Obama spoke from the White House on Monday after independent autopsy results determined that Brown was shot at least six times, including twice in the head. Missouri's governor also called in the National Guard early Monday after police again used tear gas to quell protests that have taken nightly since Brown's death.

I suggest, if he hasn't already, Officer Wilson get himself a very good attorney....they need a scapegoat.

And he'd better start raising funds like there was no tomorrow because they will prosecute him until he's out of money, and then force him to accept his own crucifixion.

Best for Republican November candidates to not react at all. Obama is doing all this to stimulate turnout from his black base (and a bit from his white guilt base too).

Perhaps these black neighborhoods should be turned over to them, raise revenue, and to police and fight fires, etc. Just wash our hands of them.
