How was it unjustly heaped when the DOJ found several instances of racial bias throughout the department?
You don't honestly think the DOJ came out and said those that took Wilson at his words were correct do you? Do you actually read anything?
The DOJ gave no endorsement to Wilson, quite the contrary, read the released statement.

Why exactly hedge?
What charges do you feel should be pressed against the commander in chief and president of our country?
Do you have any idea whatsoever how that would affect our international status? These type statements border on treason. Coming from someone that has never served this country in any capacity at all is sickening. Your entire political ideology is not conservative or Republican. It's hatred and bigotry, that's what drives you. You have no regard for this country on a global scale and no regard for it's history. That's why you're so disliked here.
On the 50th anniversary of the historic march for civil rights, Republicans are largely no-shows. This afternoon, in the hot center of the state of Alabama, a parade of Americans will pay homage to a historic march. Meeting on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, on which hundreds of black Americans were beaten for the crime of standing up to their government, Barack Obama will remember a heroic feat of rebellion, and a brutal act of repression. The president, the White House has announced, will speak personally ?about what it means to stand on the spot where police beat and gassed 600 unarmed protestors,? and he will explain what the moment means to him as an African American. And the Republican party?s current leadership will be nowhere to be seen. By declining to join, Ohio representative Marsha Fudge told Politico, the GOP has ?lost an opportunity to show the American people that they care.? Fudge is, of course, entirely correct. But the absence is far, far worse than that. By electing to skip the proceedings ? and to send a former president and a handful of congressional representatives in lieu ? the Republican leadership suggests that it does not recognize what Selma represents within America?s long history of public dissent.

Blacks "Gored" By a Lie: Al Gore Sr., the GOP and the Civil Rights Act of 1964
By R.D. Davis

It is easy to control the minds of a people. All one has to do is change history by lying about the past. This is exactly what has happened with the legacy of former Democratic U.S. Senator Al Gore, Sr. of Tennessee - the father of our current vice president - and his mythical "support" of civil rights.
In a recent speech to the NAACP, Vice President Gore said his father lost his Senate seat because he supported civil rights legislation. Fellow black Americans, let me set history straight. Al Gore, Sr., together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act.
In his remarks upon signing the Civil Rights Act, President Lyndon Johnson praised Republicans for their "overwhelming majority." He did not offer similar praise to his own Democratic Party. Moreover, Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, an Illinois Republican, collaborated with the White House and the Senate leadership of both parties to draft acceptable compromise amendments to end the southern Democrats' filibuster of the Act. It was Dirksen who often took to the Senate floor to declare, "This is an idea whose time has come. It will not be denied." Dirksen's greatest triumph earned him the Leadership Conference of Civil Rights Award, presented by then-NAACP Chairman Roy Wilkins, for his remarkable civil rights leadership.
Inform yourself, so you can learn for yourself about this important historical event. All official records about the Civil Rights Act can be found in the June 1964 issues of Congressional Quarterly.
Al Gore, Sr. did not stop at simply voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, Congressional Quarterly reported that Gore attempted to send the Act to the Senate Judiciary Committee with an amendment to say "in defiance of a court desegregation order, federal funds could not be held from any school districts." Gore sought to take the teeth out of the Act in the event it passed.
Ostensibly, Senator Gore was "elated" at the idea of young Al, Jr. going to school with black children. In reality, however, the future vice president attended an elite private school.
In the end, the Gore Amendment was defeated by a vote of 74-25. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, one of President Bill Clinton's political mentors, was among the 23 southern Democratic senators and only one Republican voting with Gore for this racist amendment.
Republican Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona voted against the Civil Rights Act because he was afraid the nation would be transformed into a "police state" as a result of some of its provisions. He did not want to throw out the proverbial "baby with the bath water." History, of course, labeled Goldwater a racist even though he voted against the Gore Amendment - an amendment devised to continue school segregation. If anyone in the Senate should be tagged as a racist, it should be those voting for the Gore Amendment. Why didn't history record Al Gore, Sr. and the other southern Democrats as racists?
At least civil rights activist Andrew Young was forthcoming about this oversight in his book An Easy Burden. Young wrote, "The southern segregationists were all Democrats, and it was black Republicans... who could effectively influence the appointment of federal judges in the South." Young noted that the best civil rights judges were Republicans appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower. Young admitted, "These judges are among the many unsung heroes of the civil rights movement."
History tends to unilaterally and falsely depict Republicans as racists when southern Democrats truly deserved this title. We now have southern Democrats as both President and Vice President. That would never be the case without the power of the lie and the liberal news media to alter people's impressions.
Lies can enslave men, but the truth shall set them free. I challenge you, the reader, to take the time to research the facts about our past in publications like Congressional Quarterly and An Easy Burden. Once you educate yourself, you can no longer be deceived by the fabulists. No longer will you be "gored" by a lie.

Lost on some of you is why the community was pushed over the edge. I think Brown was a POS and deserved to be shot after attacking Wilson. I also think the "witnesses" that committed perjury should be prosecuted. But, you dopes that seem to think there is no issue with the police department and the Ferguson community aren't paying attention.
[h=3]Stats[/h]- Less than 8% of Ferguson police officers are African-American.
- African-Americans accounted for 90% of officers' use of force.
- African-Americans weren't just more likely to be stopped, but more likely to be cited and arrested regardless of the reason for the stop. And they were more likely to receive multiple citations during a single incident.
- African-American drivers were twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during traffic stops, but 26% less likely to be found in possession of contraband.
According to the 2010 Census, 67% of the community is black, 29% is white.

Hedgie a Racist, Bigot and disliked here.....well I'll be damn, and all this time I thought it was just me.....very few people are on my shit list and Hedgie you are at the top, congrats you piece of shit......:0008
Sports,
Just wanted to tell you that I try to pay attention to things and the fact that you posted this in the political forum rather than the general is just one more reason you're awesome brother. I know that's where the thread was and all that, but you rarely get on anyone and keeping out of the general is all class man. Cheers.
Back on point. Has anyone else but me noticed that the key figures targeted by "conservative Republicans" concerning this topic are all black? Holder, Sharpton, Obama all received the brunt of their misdirected ire.
The GOP has officially become a terrorist organization. They have no political agenda or policy anymore other than getting rid of the blacks. They want ideological purity. If you're not with them you're against them, but what do they stand for? I haven't seen one single post that talks about or promotes party policies that will effect positive change for our country. Their economic plan is either non-existent or a retread of the total failure of Ronnie Reagan's "trickle down economics" policy.
There is no jobs bill
Their education policy is. ..... well they have never had one.
All they want is to throw us into armed conflict after armed conflict so they can continue to profit from it.
Just read the threads in this forum. Not a single one that has anything constructive in it. Not one. It's all about misinformation, obscure editorials lacking in fact and steeped in bigotry and hatred. I just don't get it, I don't know how an adult can simply vacate all self respect and integrity simply to identify with an empty ideology. It really is sad.

Here you go you fucking communist Lover
I served honorably for over six years in the Marine Corps. You've never served anywhere for anything and have never been honorable at anything.
I can intelligently discuss politics. You can do nothing intelligently.
I've assassinated real life threats to our country and also taken fire in defense of democracy. You can't even spell it properly.
You're a disgrace and a smear on the legacy of the United States. You do nothing but take take take and then hold your bowl out for more without contributing anything to the enrichment of our citizens. Unfortunately our society still allows for even the most despicable people such as yourself, and you call me a communist lover? That just shows how truly delusional and bigoted you truly are. Personally, I think you're a traitor to the country. I firmly believe that. If ever questioned by authorities as to your patriotism, you'd be executed before I got thirsty and the best part about it? You'd be completely clueless as to what was happening to you until for the first time in your life, your neck would be stretched until it is weight proportionate.
Someday I'll be old and you'll be long since dead and forgotten.
Well said, FDC. Nothing ever from the right-wingers but bigotry and negativism. NO proposals, no ideas, no facts. Just the whiny, crybaby, childish shitloads:
"Obama gonna' take my guns."
"Hillary sicks donkey dicks."
"Ebola gonna' kill us all."
"It's all the fault of non-whites, or immigrants, or Democrats."
No facts, no logic, no education, no plans, no understanding.
Endless whining.
