Chris Christie On Ferguson: I'm Not Going To Get Into It

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/chris-christie-ferguson-police


New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) apparently doesn't want to wade into some of the issues surrounding the turmoil in Ferguson, Mo.

In a report published Monday by New Jersey Public Radio, reporter Matt Katz said that he asked Christie last week whether there was a problem with the way law enforcement deal with African American men and teens.

"I'm not going to get into this business of generalizing against law enforcement officers. It's not right," Christie said.

"Whatever happened in Ferguson, we have a justice system in this country that will be able to make that judgement and if there are people who need to be held accountable I'm confident they will be," he said.

Christie's remarks surfaced the same day Rev. Al Sharpton criticized him for silence on the killing of Michael Brown and the subsequent clashes between police and protestors in Ferguson.

No.. you have a justice system. The rest of us play the fucking cards we were dealt. And apparently in Ferguson the Justice system holds 5 Aces and the people hold a Pair of 3's.
