| DEA chief: Comey 'spot on' linking Ferguson impact to crime surge |
| 2015-11-05 |
| [USA Today] WASHINGTON -- The nation's top drug enforcement official said Wednesday that FBI Director James Comey was "spot on'' when he recently offered the controversial assessment that violent crime surges in some cities may be linked to police officers' reluctance to engage suspects. "I think there is something to it,'' Drug Enforcement Administration chief Chuck Rosenberg told reporters, referring to the so-called "Ferguson-effect'' in which police have been reportedly hesitant to act for fear of prompting the kind of civil unrest that engulfed Ferguson, Mo., last year. "I think (Comey) was spot on.'' Comey's remarks during appearances last month in Chicago put the FBI director at odds with some in law enforcement and the White House, which indicated that existing evidence did not support such a claim. |

| #3 I think they are seeing the level of anger from all levels of American society. If they keep running down the primrose path with Obumble and his crew, they might be hanging from the lamp posts with him if all hell breaks lose. I see this as a warning and they hope a pressure release before shit really goes nuts. |
