U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder walks through black community business in Ferguson Missouri today. During one visit he encounters Captain Ron Johnson who has been placed in charge of all Ferguson law enforcement activity.
Upon meeting Captain Johnson, Attorney General Holder states: “You are the man”.
A seemingly innocuous and informal accolade amid two ideological travelers. Both Holder and Johnson have criticized the police department in Ferguson. Both Eric Holder and Ron Johnson have apologized to Mike Brown’s family for the shooting death of their son. Both Eric Holder and Ron Johnson have stated Mike Brown “did not deserve to die”. So the greeting of brothers in ideological arms is no surprise.
So why is Captain Ron Johnson, selected by a Democrat governor, approved by Eric Holder and the DOJ, and then put into place?
On it’s face that sentiment expressed by Ron Johnson, and pushed by the racial grievance industry through professional race baiter Michael Skolnik, might seem disingenuous. But you need to look beyond the surface to understand why “this man”, is considered by the constructionists to be the “best man” or as Eric Holder tells him today “the man“.

That fact doesn’t help the narrative.
That fact must be controlled.
So that fact is cut out.
Here’s another example. In this example you see New Black Panther leader Malik Shabaaz leading the crowd in a chant of kill officer Darren Wilson:
Who do we want? Darren Wilson – How do we want him? DEAD.
Yikes. That’s troubling. But yet who was standing right beside the Black Panthers?
Who was right there listening to what was taking place ?

Yep, Captain Ron Johnson. Who apparently has no issues with chants of death toward another law enforcement officer.
Now go back and look at that original statement from Ron Johnson again:
The federal intervention has ran up against more local law enforcement pushback in Ferguson than the previous use of the same deployed tactics in 2012. As U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has so clearly stated:
