DoJ Stands Up For Citizens

Just not for non-American citizens, or citizens who are Border Patrol agents.

On the heels of the still unresolved Fast & Furious scandal comes a story out of East Haven, Connecticut.  It is reported that four police officers from East Haven were arrested for civil rights violations.  According to the article:

All four officers were charged with conspiracy against rights. Spaulding was also charged with use of excessive force, making a false arrest and obstruction of justice. Zullo was also charged with use of excessive force. Cari faces the additional charges of making a false arrest and obstruction of justice. Miller was also charged with use of excessive force. The men face up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.

If true, these offices do need to be held accountable for their actions.  But the Department of Justice tried to interject a sound bite that is so hypocritical that it made me want to regurgitate my breakfast:

U.S. Attorney David B. Fein said the “indictment should serve as a powerful message that we in the Department of Justice will not tolerate abuse of power or victimization of civilians by anyone in law enforcement.”

Right.  Thanks for that piece of information, Mr. Fein.  Perhaps your boss, Comrade AG Holder could take some that advice and come clean on the Fast & Furious scandal?  Maybe those who are responsible for the deaths of Agent Terry and countless Mexican citizens could be held accountable for their actions?
