I hate Glenn Beck. He defers to the police narrative in 99% of these cases, and professes to reaaaally hate big government, but, like most conservatives, is perfectly happy to encourage the government to throw untold sums at the border patrol, the military and the police. So basically, he hates big government except those parts that have the authority to kill us.
That said, hes dead right with his Black Lives Matter piece.
Never listen to Glenn Beck nor do I care for any political pundits. Got better things to do with my time than listen to some blowhard spout off about politics.
Now, tell me, how many black murders are caused by blacks and how many caused by whites. While you're at it, tell me how many white murders are caused by whites and how many by blacks. I'll wait til you stop giggling like a Japanese schoolgirl and decide to have an honest conversation.

To cover some things that we are all aware of .. the town of Ferguson is roughly two thirds black - the police force is almost all, if not fully all, white. I think that we can all agree that the black people in Ferguson are not being represented by having a fully (or almost fully) white police force (and that point had also been made by Holder and those other dems).
moving on ..
There are many news stories claiming that the Justice Dept (pushed by Holder) may end up disbanding the Ferguson police department, with the Ferguson cops going to work for the county cops, and the job of policing Ferguson will go to the county cops (though the town has to vote on it first). It is supported by many democrats (some, or all, who are in the Congressional Black Caucus).
Now, before you start jumping up and down with glee over that station being closed down, take a step back and ponder this puzzler - why is Holder and those dems pushing to close that police station instead of removing (from the police chief on down) two thirds, more or less, of the white cops and replacing them with black cops, which would not only keep that station open but it would also have that dept fit the demographics of the town (imo, that would be the most logical step instead of closing the station)?
What they are wanting to do makes absolutely no sense to me.

Because they probably can't find many black males in the area who can pass the background check.
Maybe you're not allowed to have a juvie record, even if it's minor.
Maybe you're not allowed to have felons in your family, even if you have no criminal history.
The mass incarceration of blacks (specifically black males) since the crack era STILL continues to do this day. It's not a "myth" or an "illusion". Many are getting arrested, ticketed and fined for the most trivial nonsense known to man all over the country.
Many police departments don't want you to have any 'blemishes" in your past.
The only blacks who may have a shot at being cops in that miserable backwater town are probably ex-military or returning veterans. Maybe.

They don't have to limit themselves to hiring black male/female cops from the residents of Ferguson. They can hire and/or transfer black cops from any area in that state, and/or, from anywhere in the country.

If I was a white cop in that city I'd be finding a new place to work.
Maybe Obama can get some Undocumented Americans to fill those jobs.

Yeah, but they probably don't want to live there.
There are some states and towns people would never move to no matter how much you paid them.
