Attorney General Eric Holder spoke out on the current wave of police protests in a new interview this week with New York Magazine, conducted by MSNBC host Joy Reid. And right off the bat, Holder said he doesn’t believe young minorities have anything to fear from the police.

That being said, there is a lot of distrust and people “demonizing” each other, Holder said. And he doesn’t feel that at this point “we’re… at a stage yet where I can honestly say that if you’re a person of color, you should not be concerned about any interaction that you have with the police.”

When asked about the progress America’s made on race and dealing with that mistrust, Holder simply said, “We, as a nation, have failed.”

Eric Holder is a war criminal.

The sheer ass-backwards-ness of him commenting on anything, absent from within a penitentiary cell, must be lost on the American people.

Truly sad that people could be so ignorant as to invite him anywhere for the supposed promotion of justice.

And what constructive and effective have you ever done to address that issue, Eric?
