Bob Massi, a legal analyst for Fox News, made a morning broadcast appearance to discuss the shootings of two police officers in Ferguson, laying the blame for the recent violence squarely at the feet of the Obama administration and Attorney General Eric Holder.
Massi referred to the recent release of the Department of Justice’s report on Ferguson police, and its finding of systematic discrimination on the part of city officials toward the mostly minority community, and said Holder made inciteful statements about its contents.
“When you look at some of the words of Eric Holder,” Massi said, during the “Fox & Friends” segment, “there was a way for him to present that report that doesn’t incite that type of emotion.”
Holder said on Friday that he would use all the power of the Justice Department to hold Ferguson officials accountable and to enact widespread city government reforms.
His exact words: “We are prepared to use all the power that we have … to ensure that the situation changes there.” And when asked if that potential action included dismantling the Ferguson Police Department, Holder said: “If that’s what’s necessary, we’re prepared to do that.”
Massi said Holder could have instead used calmer tones and less inflammatory language that would have given the protest movement some comfort, without inciting violent rallies.
