Holder Calls Ferguson Shooter a ” Damn Punk”

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says whoever shot two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, is a “punk” intent on hurting a community trying to change.

Holder spoke with reporters in Washington on Thursday following an early-morning shooting that wounded two officers during a protest in the St. Louis suburb. No suspects have been named.

Holder says the shooter is “not someone trying to bring healing to Ferguson.” He says the shooter is “a damn punk… trying to sow discord in an area that was trying to get its act together, trying to bring together a community that had been fractured for too long.”
