Holder takes on Ferguson: AG ‘flooding the zone’ with investigators, heads to Missouri

Attorney General Eric Holder, one of President Obama’s longest-serving and most controversial deputies, is taking the lead in the federal government’s response to the roiling tensions in a St. Louis suburb over the police shooting of an unarmed man.

While the president, who is in Washington for two days of meetings, returns Tuesday evening to his family vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Holder will head to Ferguson, Mo., where protests continue to give way to riots and looting on a nightly basis – straining law enforcement previously accused of being heavy-handed in their response.

From the White House, Obama is keeping a reserved tone by calling for calm on both sides, urging protesters to stay peaceful and police to show restraint. But at the Justice Department, Holder is committing what is being described as an “extraordinary” effort to investigate the local case.

Eric Holder coming to St Louis.
How do you feel about this?
Another high ranking government official coming to do more investigations of this case. Eric Holder himself coming to Ferguson. Standing by for Obama to do a flyby.

Impress the hell out of me when Holder visits Chicago.

Until then?

Holder might as well sing show tunes in the middle of the road for all the good it'll do.

It would be cool and funny to see the entire crowd break out dancing, then they all go home.

oh man that just creeps me out!

Holder might be setting up a "Contempt of Congress" immunity zone.

Is Lois Lerner being recalled for this investigation ?

They work well together don't they.
