Subject: Fw: FBI AGENT'S EPIC OPEN LETTER TO ERIC HOLDER STUNS
ADMINISTRATION!!
K. Dee McCown College Station, Texas December 28, 2014
Attorney General Eric Holder
U.S. Department of
Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001
Dear Attorney General Holder,
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001
Dear Attorney General Holder,
It is unlikely that we met while I served in the FBI. That
being said, we served at the Department of Justice (DOJ) during the same years
and on the same “team” conceptually speaking. During my service in the FBI I
worked with a number of U.S. Attorney Offices in the United States to include a
tour at FBIHQ where I worked with the Department of Justice (Main) on a daily
basis.
I begin my letter with
this comment to highlight that I am not a bystander on the topic of law
enforcement in the United States. I worked and managed a variety of federal
investigations during my 12 years of service in the FBI, to include the
management of several Civil Rights cases in the State of Texas. In fact, during
my last tour in the Bureau, I was an FBI Supervisor responsible for managing
federal investigations in nine (9) Texas counties, many of which were rural; in
places where one would suspect racism to flourish given the narrative often
pushed by Hollywood and urban progressive elites like yourself. I performed this
mission diligently and under the close supervision of two FBI managers; an
Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) and Special Agent in Charge (SAC,) both
of which happened to be African American and outstanding law enforcement
professionals. I also performed this mission serving side by side with a variety
of law enforcement agencies at the Federal, State and local level.
I have observed you closely during your tenure as Attorney
General and notably during these last tumultuous years; watching you negotiate a
number of controversial public matters to include the ATF Fast and Furious
scandal, Black Panther Party intimidation at voting booths, IRS targeting of
American citizens (citizen groups opposed to the Obama Administration,) the
ignoring of US Immigration laws, DOJ criminal indictments of select news
reporters and your management of several high profile criminal investigations
involving subjects of race, notably African Americans.
Until today, I chose to
hold my tongue. However, with the assassination of two NYPD Lieutenants last
weekend in New York City, at the hands of a African American man with a lengthy
criminal record, fresh from his participation in anti-police activities; coupled
with numerous “don’t shoot, hands up,” and “black lives matter” anti-police
protests (some of which are violent) occurring daily around the nation, I am
compelled to write you this letter.
To be blunt Mr. Holder,
I am appalled at your lack of leadership as the Attorney General of the United
States and your blatant politicizing of the Department of Justice. Your actions,
both publicly and privately, have done nothing to quell the complex racial
issues we face in our country and have done everything to inflame them. As the
“top cop” of the United States, you share in the blame for much of the violence
and protests we are now witnessing against law enforcement officers honorably
serving throughout our nation.
During one of your first public speeches as Attorney
General you made it a point to call America “a nation of cowards” concerning
race relations. That speech, followed by other public announcements where you
emphatically opined that the odds were stacked against African Americans in
regard to the enforcement of law, your intention to change the law and permit
convicted felons to vote after incarceration, and your changes to federal law
ending “racial profiling,” are poignant examples of how detached you remain from
the challenges faced by law enforcement officers serving in crime ridden
neighborhoods throughout the nation. These opinions are also indicative of a man
that lives and works in the elitist “bubble” of Washington D.C.
Your performance, as the nation’s Attorney General, during
the Trayvon Martin case in Sanford, Florida and the Michael Brown case in
Ferguson, Missouri clearly highlights your myopic view on this topic. Contrary
to your embarrassing prejudgment in the Brown case and evasive post trial
remarks on the Martin case, neither Brown nor Martin were targeted and/or killed
because of their African American race. Rather, as non-emotive investigations
determined, both teens died as a consequence of their own tragic and egregious
behavior; behavior that involved a violent assault on a law abiding citizen in
the Trayvon Martin case, and a violent assault on a young police officer in the
Michael Brown case. Yet you, as the number one spokesman for law enforcement in
the country, blame the deaths of these men on years of institutional racism and
the alleged epidemic targeting of African American men by police departments
around the country; nothing could be further from the truth. Following the
Michael Brown case Grand Jury decision all you could muster was the following
comment:
“The Department of Justice is currently investigating not
only the shooting but also the Ferguson police department in what is called a
“patterns and practices” inquiry to determine if the police department has
engaged in systematic racism.”
So, let’s get this straight. At a decisive moment in
history when our nation required a strong and unbiased voice from its’ senior
law enforcement official, you Mr. Holder, made it your personal mission to join
with other racial antagonist and politicize a tragic event, accusing a young
white police officer of a racially motivated killing in what we now know was a
justified self-defense shooting of a predatory felon. Your behavior is
unbelievable. You sir, have sacrificed your integrity on the altar of political
expediency. You, Mr. Holder, are the “coward” and hypocrite you so loudly
denounce when speaking of broken race relations in America.
Further to this point Mr. Holder, law enforcement officers
around the country remain dismayed and shocked at the counsel you keep; that
being your close relationship with none other than Al Sharpton, a racist “shake
down artist” who spreads hate, divisiveness and the promotion of anti-law
enforcement sentiment throughout the country; a tax evading fraudster who has
unbelievably visited the White House over 80 times in recent years. It is simply
beyond my comprehension as a former federal law enforcement professional, that
you, the Attorney General of the United States, joined arms in common cause with
a charlatan like “the Reverend” Al Sharpton; and it speaks volumes to your
personal character and lack of professional judgment.
Violent crime, out of wedlock births, drug abuse, rampant
unemployment and poverty found in many low-income minority neighborhoods are not
a result of racist community policing and racial profiling as you so quickly
assert, and frankly most law abiding Americans are exhausted of hearing this
false narrative repeated time and again by you and others in the racial
grievance industry. While no one, me included, would ever suggest that African
Americans have not suffered from institutional racism in the past, I would
strongly argue that we no longer live in the Mississippi of 1965, nor do we live
in a country that even closely resembles the “Jim Crow” South of yesteryear.
Those days, thankfully, are in the past as are the generations of Americans that
supported such egregious behavior and endured such suffering.
Rather, Mr. Holder, we live in a day and time where the
root cause of many problems faced in our African American communities can be
attributed to the breakdown of civil order due to the rejection of institutional
and family authority and the practice of counter-culture values; and most
notably, from the absence of strong male leadership in fatherless black
families. The reason that our local police officers are so often entwined in
tragic events in black communities is because it is the police that have filled
the void in these communities that should be occupied by moral and strong black
men leading family units with Godly values. You, Mr. Holder, especially, should
be thanking the police rather than persecuting them for the gap they fill in
these communities because if it were not for the intervention of local police
many African American neighborhoods would be in a state of total
anarchy.
Yet tragically, you and your race-baiting colleague Al
Sharpton (a paid media personality under contract with MSNBC news) choose to
remain silent because to publicly speak this self-evident truth threatens to not
only alienate and offend the most loyal voting constituency of the Democratic
Party but diminish your and Al Sharpton’s self-serving power base in these
suffering communities. God forbid that you would suggest individual citizens
accept responsibility for their own behavior and the collective failure of their
communities; it is so much easier for you and others like you to make excuses,
play the victim card, and pander rather than address the real root causes that
plague many low income neighborhoods.
Mr. Holder, the public is aware of FBI statistics that tell
a different story than the one you and Sharpton preach. We know that young
African American males, representing a tiny fraction of the U.S. population, are
by far the greatest perpetrators of violent crime in America when compared to
their peers in other ethnic groups, and, we know that citizens of African
American descent overwhelmingly make up the majority of their victims. We also
know that incidents where white police officers shoot and kill black
perpetrators are rare and on the decline. We know further that although there
are legitimate and bona fide Federal Civil Rights investigations in the United
States worthy of pursuing, they are miniscule when compared to the false
narrative portrayed by you, President Obama and Sharpton declaring rampant
discrimination against African American men by police officers throughout the
country. You are just plain wrong.
In closing Mr. Holder I will leave you with this thought;
you were given a rare opportunity to lead with integrity during a variety of
divisive and controversial issues during your tenure as the 82d Attorney General
of the United States and rather than be a man of moral courage you chose instead
to cower, further inflame racial tensions, advance false narratives and play
progressive political activist.
Time and again you chose to “politicize” the mission of the
Department of Justice rather than pursue justice and now, tragically, we are
witnessing the fruits of your irresponsible behavior in the murder of two
innocent police officers in New York City, assassinated by a man motivated by
the flames of racial hatred that you personally fanned. How many more police
officers will be injured or die in the coming days because of the perilous
conditions you helped create in this nation. You, President Obama and Al
Sharpton own this problem lock, stock and barrel and now it is your
legacy.
As thousands of NYPD officers turn their collective back on
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, another dishonest politician and Sharpton
disciple, so too do countless Federal law enforcement officers turn our backs on
you.
