Nation's Top Police Union
Decries Obama's Pick To Head DOJ Civil Rights Department

Obama already had a reputation for
appointing the absolute worst possible person to fill government positions, but
his nomination of radical attorney, Debo Adegbilem to be the nation’s top civil
rights lawyer, is his most gut-wrenchingly awful, "in your face"
appointment, yet.
Adegbilem spent the last decade
serving as the Legal Defense and Education Fund of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
He is a staunch affirmative action
supporter who is an opponent of criminal-background checks by employers, and a
supporter of extreme racial-hiring quotas. But it's his work trying to free the
unrepentant cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, that has the hundreds of thousands of
law enforcement officers represented by the National Fraternal Order of Police appalled that the president would appoint
him to a top spot in the Justice
Department.
Judicial Watch reports:
In a hard-hitting letter to
President Obama, the group expresses “extreme disappointment, displeasure and
vehement opposition” to Adegbile’s nomination. “As word of this nomination
spreads through the law enforcement community, reactions range from anger to
incredulity,” the letter says, reminding that there is no disputing that
Officer Faulkner was murdered by the “thug” who Adegbile continues defending.
“This nomination can be
interpreted in only one way: it is a thumb in the eye of our nation’s law
enforcement officers,” the letter continues. “It demonstrates a total lack of
regard or empathy for those who strive to keep you and everyone else in our
nation safe in your homes and neighborhoods—sometimes giving their lives in the
effort.” Adegbile will certainly exacerbate the growing division and distrust
between law enforcement and minority communities, the FOP claims. The group
ends by telling the commander-in-chief of its hope that candidates with records
of “fairness and respect to all Americans” are considered for future leadership
positions in the administration.
The NAACP LDF under Adegbile’s
leadership, offered legal representation to Mumia Abu-Jamal, the murderer of Philadelphia police
officer Danny Faulkner in several legal proceedings.
Born Wesley Cook, the former Black
Panther often referred to affectionately in radical circles as simply “Mumia,”
enjoys celebrity status on the Left and is a frequent guest speaker at college
commencement ceremonies.
“The question of Abu-Jamal’s guilt
is not a close call,” according to John Fund. “Two hospital workers testified
that Abu-Jamal confessed to them: ‘I shot the motherf***er, and I hope the
motherf***er dies.’ His brother, William, has never testified to his brother’s
innocence even though he was at the scene of the crime. Abu-Jamal himself chose
not to testify in his own defense.”
As Faulkner tried to arrest Abu-Jamal’s
brother during a traffic stop, Abu-Jamal shot the policeman once in the back
and then stood over him and shot him four more times at close range, once
directly in the face. Multiple eyewitnesses were present during the crime.
Adegbile would be replacing Thomas
Perez, another radical who was barely confirmed by the Senate as labor
secretary on a strict party line vote of 54 to 46 last July.
J Christian Adams writes,
"this is the White House sending a message to Republicans and
conservatives that the radical racial policies of the Justice Department will
continue full speed ahead."
But not if the National Fraternal
Order of Police has anything to say about it.
