I'm Not Going To Let People Who

At A Time When We Must Seek To Rebuild Trust Between Law Enforcement And The Local Community, I Am Deeply Concerned That The Deployment Of Military Equipment And Vehicles Sends A Conflicting Message.

I Think That People, Despite My Law Enforcement Background, View Me As Taking These Consistently Progressive Stands, And I Think That, Philosophically, There Is A Desire To Get At That Person. But I Think The Stands I Have Taken Are Totally Consistent With A Person Who Is Looking At Things Realistically, Factually.

In The Months Ahead, I Will Leave The Department Of Justice, But I Will Never -- I Will Never -- Leave The Work. I Will Continue To Serve And Try To Find Ways To Make Our Nation Even More True To Its Founding Ideals.

Operation Fast And Furious Was Flawed In Concept And Flawed In Execution. The Tactics Used In This Operation Violate Department Of Justice Policy And Should Never Have Been Used.

It Pains Me Whenever There's The Death Of A Law Enforcement Official.
