FBI AGENT'S EPIC OPEN LETTER TO ERIC HOLDER -- STUNS ADMINISTRATION

Every American needs to read this letter. 

SNOPES says: Since its initial appearance, the letter attributed to K. Dee McCown has

circulated widely on social media sites and blogs. Dee McCown did serve as an FBI

special agent between 1997 and 2008, and when we contacted him to verify his author-

ship, he responded: "I in fact wrote the letter and stand by every word. It's time to stand

up and speak truth to power. Thanks for checking."

Former FBI Special Agent K. Dee McCown wrote an open letter to Eric Holder.  

The response has been epic.
 Here is the letter:  

K. Dee McCown
College Station, Texas
December 28, 2014

Attorney General Eric Holder
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001

Dear Attorney General Holder,
It is unlikely that we met while I served in the FBI.  That being said, we served at the Depart-

ment of Justice (DOJ) during the same years and on the same team conceptually speaking.

During my service in the FBI I worked with a number of U.S. Attorney Offices in the United
States to include a tour at FBI HQ where I worked with the Department of Justice (Main) on

a daily basis.

I begin my letter with this comment to highlight that I am not a bystander on the topic of law

enforcement in the United States. I worked and managed a variety of federal investigations

during my 12 years of service in the FBI, to include the management of several Civil Rights

cases in the State of Texas. In fact, during my last tour in the Bureau, I was an FBI Super-

visor responsible for managing federal investigations in nine (9) Texas counties,  many of

which were rural; in places where one would suspect racism to flourish given the narrative

often pushed by Hollywood and urban progressive elites like yourself. I performed this mis-

sion diligently and under the close supervision of two FBI managers; an Assistant Special

Agent in Charge (ASAC) and Special Agent in Charge (SAC,) both of which  happened to

African American and outstanding law enforcement professionals.  I also performed this

mission serving side by side with a variety of law enforcement agencies at the Federal,

State and local level.

I have observed you closely during your tenure as Attorney General and notably during

these last tumultuous years; watching you negotiate a number of controversial public mat-

ters to include the ATF Fast and Furious scandal, Black Panther Party intimidation at vo-

ting booths, IRS targeting of American citizens (citizen groups opposed to the Obama
Administration,) the ignoring of US Immigration laws, DOJ criminal indictments of select

news reporters and your management of several high profile criminal investigations  in-

volving subjects of race, notably African Americans.

Until today, I chose to hold my tongue. However, with the assassination of  two NYPD

 Lieutenants last weekend in New York City, at the hands of a African American man

with a lengthy criminal record, fresh from his participation in anti-police activities; coupled

with numerous don't shoot,  hands up, and black lives matter anti-police protests (some of

which are violent) occurring daily around the nation, I am compelled to write you this letter.

To be blunt Mr. Holder, I am appalled at your lack of leadership as the Attorney General

of the United States and your blatant politicizing of the Department of Justice. Your act-

ions, both publicly and privately, have done nothing to quell the complex racial issues

we face in our country and have done everything to inflame them. As the top cop of the
United States, you share in the blame for much of the violence and  protests we are now
witnessing against law enforcement officers honorably serving throughout our nation.

During one of your first public speeches as Attorney General you made it a point to call

America a nation of cowards concerning race relations. That speech, followed by other

public announcements where you emphatically opined that the odds were stacked

against African Americans in regard to the enforcement of law, your intention to change

the law and permit convicted felons to vote after incarceration, and your changes to
federal law ending racial profiling, are poignant examples of how detached you remain

from the challenges faced by law enforcement officers serving in crime ridden neighbor-

hoods throughout the nation. These opinions are also indicative of a man that lives and

works in the elitist bubble of Washington D.C.

Your performance, as the nations Attorney General, during the Trayvon Martin case in

Sanford, Florida and the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri clearly highlights

your myopic view on this topic. Contrary to your embarrassing prejudgment in the Brown

case and evasive post trial remarks on the Martin case, neither Brown nor Martin were

targeted and/or killed because of their African American race. Rather, as  non-emotive
investigations determined, both teens died as a consequence of their own  tragic and

egregious behavior; behavior that involved a violent assault on a law abiding citizen in

the Trayvon Martin case, and a violent assault on a young police officer in the Michael

 Brown case. Yet you, as the number one spokesman for law enforcement in the country,

blame the deaths of these men on years of institutional racism and the alleged epidemic

targeting of African American men by police departments around the country; nothing

could be further from the truth. Following the Michael Brown case Grand Jury decision

all you could muster was the following comment:

The Department of Justice is currently investigating not only the shooting but also the

Ferguson police department in what is called a patterns and practices inquiry to determine

if the police department has engaged in systematic racism.

So, lets get this straight. At a decisive moment in history when our nation required a

strong and unbiased voice from its senior law enforcement official, you Mr. Holder, made

it your personal mission to join with other racial antagonist and politicize a tragic event,
accusing a young white police officer of a racially motivated killing in what we now know

was a justified self-defense shooting of a predatory felon.  

Your behavior is unbelievable.  You sir, have sacrificed your integrity on the altar of pol-

itical expediency.  You, Mr. Holder, are the coward and hypocrite you so loudly denounce

when speaking of broken race relations in America.

Further to this point Mr. Holder, law enforcement officers around the country remain 

dismayed and shocked at the counsel you keep; that being your close relationship with none

other than Al Sharpton, a racist shake down artist who spreads hate, divisiveness and the

promotion of anti-law enforcement sentiment throughout the country; a tax evading fraud-

ster who has unbelievably visited the White House over 80 times in recent years.  It  is

simply beyond my comprehension as a former federal law enforcement professional, that

you, the Attorney General of the United States, joined arms in common cause with a char-

latan like the Reverend Al Sharpton; and  it speaks volumes to your personal character

and lack of professional judgment.

Violent crime, out of wedlock births, drug abuse,rampant unemployment and poverty found

in many low-income minority neighborhoods are not a result of racist community policing

and racial profiling as you so quickly assert, and frankly most law  abiding Americans are

exhausted of hearing this false narrative repeated time and again by you and others in

the racial grievance industry. While no one, me included, would ever suggest that African
Americans have not suffered from institutional racism in the past, I would strongly argue

that we no longer live in the Mississippi of 1965, nor do we live in a country that even close-

ly resembles the Jim Crow South of yesteryear. Those days, thankfully, are in the past as
are the generations of Americans that supported such egregious behavior and endured

such suffering.

Rather, Mr. Holder, we live in a day and time where the root cause of many problems faced

in our African American communities can be attributed to the breakdown of civil order due

to the rejection of institutional and family authority and the practice of counter-culture values;
and most notably, from the absence of strong male leadership in fatherless black families.

The reason that our local police officers are so often entwined in tragic events in black com-

munities is be cause it is the police that have filled the void in these communities that should

be occupied by moral and strong black men leading family units with Godly values. You, Mr.
Holder, especially, should be thanking the police rather than persecuting them for the gap

they fill in these communities because if it were not for the intervention of local police many

African American neighborhoods would be in a state of total anarchy.

Yet tragically, you and your race-baiting colleague Al Sharpton (a paid media personality un-

der contract with MSNBC news) choose to remain silent  because to publicly speak this self-

evident truth threatens to not only alienate and offend the most loyal voting constituency
of the Democratic Party but diminish your and Al Sharptons self-serving power base in these
suffering communities. God forbid that you would suggest individual citizens  accept respons-

ibility for their own behavior and the collective failure of their communities; it is so much easier

for you and  others like you to make excuses, play the victim card, and pander rather than
address the real root causes that plague many low income neighborhoods.

Mr. Holder, the public is aware of FBI statistics that tell a different story than the one you and

Sharpton preach. We know that young African American males, representing a tiny fraction

of the U.S. population, are by far the greatest perpetrators of violent crime in America when

compared to their peers in other ethnic groups, and, we know that citizens of African Amer-

ican descent overwhelmingly make up the majority of their victims. We  also know that incid-

ents where white police officers shoot and kill black perpetrators are rare and on the decline.

We know further that although there are legitimate and bonafide Federal Civil Rights invest-

igations in the United States worthy of pursuing, they are miniscule when compared to the

false narrative portrayed by you, President Obama and Sharpton declaring rampant discrim-

ination against African American men by police officers throughout the country. You are just

plain wrong.

In closing Mr. Holder I will leave you with this thought; you were given a rare opportunity to

lead with integrity during a variety of divisive and controversial issues during your tenure as

the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and rather than be a man of moral courage
you chose instead to cower, further inflame racial tensions, advance false narratives and

play progressive political activist.  Time and again you chose to politicize the mission of
the Department of Justice rather than pursue justice and now, tragically, we are witnessing
the fruits of your irresponsible behavior in the murder of two innocent police officers in New

York City, assassinated by a man motivated by the flames of racial hatred that you person-

ally fanned. How many more police officers will be injured or die in the coming days because

of the perilous conditions you helped create in this nation. You,  President Obama and Al
Sharpton own this problem lock, stock and barrel and now it is your legacy.

As thousands of NYPD officers turn their collective back on New York Mayor Bill de Blasio,

another dishonest politician and Sharpton disciple, so too do countless Federal law enforce-

ment officers turn our backs on you.
