Holder and Obama won't. This is just one of those unfortunate things that happen to "folks." If they comment at all it will be blamed on the history of racism and mistrust that created these tense conditions.

I feel that the DOJ's trumped up report played a significant role in increasing the animosity to the extent that it probably influenced the shooter's actions.
"Probably' is an under statement.

Holder has fomented unrest as much as alsharpton and is consistent with this divisive administration.

the issues raised in furgeson re the PD are 'most probably' not causative of the perceived problem.

Unfortunately the zero tolerance policies are purported to be linked to and cause of racism when they are not. Being 'insensitive' by zero threshold standards does not necessarily translate to biased police work.

Holder has put targets on the back of the nation's police for social justice tribute. Not that issues do not exist that affect all citizens. While holder runs the dept of social justice, the energy to improve police and community realtions suffers. It suffers most in communities where crimes are the highest.

Holder s the guy who incites the fight by whispering in the guillible guy's ear, 'He said disaparaging things about your mother, Are you going to sit back and take that?"

Objective is never to promote peace. seek to tear society apart by pitting the “races,” the “classes,” and the “genders” against one another—“rubbing raw” their respective “resentments” until hatred abounds in every person’s heart and mayhem fills the streets.

Now how many innocent citizens do you think have had their lives ruined, if not ended, by the crappy policing mentality in Ferguson?

That's the problem. When an innocent cop gets killed in the line of duty, it's all victim-support. When an innocent civilian gets killed, it's all victim-blaming. You can't expect to be taken seriously when you're upset about one set of innocents and not the other.
Well if we look at the case that brought Ferguson to light, we know now that it was not an innocent civilian that was killed therefore there was no victim-blaming going on unless you were blaming the officer who was attacked and did what he had to do.

Policemen do not generally have a vested interest in promoting violence but their administrator's first task is to continue finding reasons to spend money of their bureaucracies. Thus a lot of the discontent and violence damaging our society is created to keep Homeland Security busy.

As far as shooting policeman is concerned I place the direct blame on the guy that pulled the trigger. I also blame the cop in Ferguson for pulling the trigger on an unarmed young man.

When you foment hate and distrust of police departments, you can expect cops being killed in NYC and shot in St. Louis.

When the DOJ sides with the criminals, it is a world turned upside down. Not surprising, however, in the Obama admin, in which everything seems to lack common sense and is out of kilter.

Don't worry. Neither obama nor Holder have consciences, so it won't affect them at all.

Obama holder Sharpton and browns worthless family are all responsible and should be charged with accessory to inciting riots and accessory to attempted murder. Plus accessory to murder for the two cops in nyc.
