Re: Reader C: 'It seems totally apart from his....
Lion,
Thanks for helping clear my mental log jam.
The question of him having organized crime pals made me laugh.
He's a CONgressman, for Pete's sake!
If he doesn't realize he's shooting himself in the foot, I'm sure several hangers-on would alert him.
I pondered the "cui bono" aspect for a while and had to think outside the district.
A visit to his webpage gave some hints.
The article about his Fair Justice Act cites a town a stone's throw east of Ferguson:
"In Jennings, Missouri a new lawsuit alleges that the court system has almost exclusively black defendants, who are routinely sent to jail for failing to pay minor traffic fines."
Jennings' demographic is 86.8% black. Surprised?
He's always been a vocal black victim-hood race baiter.
The second article was standard rot about how well Obamacare worked and the evil republicans trying to repeal it.
The third was the one that gave me pause.
It concerned the continuing resolution to fund DHS, complete with fear-porn and scolding about how we just can't live without it.
The worst case I could conceive was, if police are freed from revenue collection as we know it, it will produce a vacuum.
Municipalities will want to replace that revenue.
While Holder's just-US department spoke out recently against federal confiscations of property, it still remains open season in states and local areas.
It may be that Manny wants to weigh in with his own re-definition of law enforcement's functions.
Dressed in full battle-rattle supplied by the feds, they are now given the time and tools to pursue those pesky thought criminals.
I'm willing to bet another junket to Cuba or Israel will load him up with great ideas.

Thanks, C
On our first exchange, my instinct said this is somehow connected three or four levels away from Soros/Holder/Obama/Sharpton race division agenda, and now I know why.
Remember too, that when O was running the first term, he kept talking about the 'need'(?) for a "private citizen army that is just as well funded and just as well trained as regular military".
Sounds much like what the Bolsheviks did to Russia, and the same thing Hitler's Brown Shirts did in Germany.
The people never saw it coming, and 'suddenly' the Brown Shirts were everywhere. If you were not with the Bolsheviks or the Brown Shirts, you were considered an 'enemy of the state'.
Local constables were killed or stripped of all authority.
No doubt Soros is aiding and abetting that venture of treason also, as Soros works from past experience as a card carrying member of the Hitler Youth organization within the Nazi party.
Another lesson on 'be careful who you let in the front door'.
Keep an eye on that angle too..
Thanks for filling in more of the blanks...
Lion
