Holder Admits "Hands Up" Was Lie

You wouldn't blame all blacks or all latinos for the disproportionately high levels of crime committed by some blacks and some latinos. So don't blame Officer Wilson for misconduct by some officers. Should a law abiding black citizen who has committed no crime go to jail or lose his job because some other black people commit crime? Of course not. So why should Officer Wilson be punished for misconduct by other officers?

You posting that article is ridiculous. It would be like if I kept saying that some black man was guilty of a crime and then it was proven that he was innocent. Then instead of admitting that I was wrong, I post an article that says that black people commit a lot of crime (as if that is relevant to whether a specific black person is guilty of a crime).

Your heading implies that Eric Holder had something to do with the evolution of the "Hands Up" narrative. He wasn't "admitting" anything; he was stating what the Justice Department had determined.

Explain to me what is ridiculous about pointing out that there is an established pattern of racial bias in Ferguson. Do you dispute it? Do you think it's not true?
