Governor Jay Nixon: Both the State AG and Eric Holder Must "Vigorously Prosecute" Darren Wilson

At 3:20, below. More at Hot Air.

And below that, Megyn Kelly is not impressed with Nixon's understanding of the criminal justice system.

And police sources are now telling the NYT that Wilson sustained injuries in the encounter, though they don't specify what kind of injuries, as Jim Hoft's sources did.

(And as Allah points out: What the hell kind of reporter wouldn't immediately ask, "What kind of injuries? How extensive? Are their X-rays?")

Oh, and a great piece by Noah Rothman: Eric Holder, Racial Healer.

"Look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House committee," Holder remarked. "Had nothing to do with me, what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?"

In May, Holder echoed the claims of MSNBC’s "dog whistle" detectors, who derive their job security by being able to decode the veiled racism in words like "apartment" and "golf," when he said that subtle -- nearly undetectable -- racism is a greater scourge than overt discrimination. In other words, the kinds of civil rights violations which the Attorney General is empowered to prosecute are of less relevance to America's minorities than are the coded messages which are inexplicably only decipherable for the audience these Windtalker racists supposedly trying to avoid alerting.

Oh, and via Instapundit, even a progressive chump like Josh Marshall understands that the chief executive of a state does not call for a "vigorous prosecution" based upon the testimony of rioters.

Well he didn't say it that way. I did. You can tell I said and not him it because it's clever.
