Attorney General Eric Holder canceled a speech to a graduating    class of police cadets in Oklahoma City on Thursday, after    crowds of Oklahomans flocked to the ceremony to protest his    appearance.  
    Protest organizers said Holder's planned speech to the law    enforcement graduates was "inappropriate," and argued that the    attorney general has failed to uphold the law himself.  
    "A lot of people just felt that it was very inappropriate for    this man, with his track record, to speak to law enforcement    officers that demand and expect to be backed up by the    government working on behalf of the citizens, not against the    citizens," State Rep. Mike Turner (R.), who is running for U.S.    congress, told theWashington Free Beacon.  
    Turner said Holder has flouted the law when it comes to illegal    immigration, the "Fast and Furious" gunrunning scandal, and the    Second Amendment.  
    The U.S. House of Representatives held Holder in contempt of    Congress in 2012, on the grounds that he was impeding    investigations into Fast and Furious.  
    The Oklahoma City protest made national news Thursday    afternoon, after Holder backed out of the speech shortly before    the graduation ceremony began.    Holder's office told the Washington Times that the last-minute    cancelation was due to a scheduling issue.  
    "The attorney general had been looking to addressing the    cadets, and regrets he cannot attend in person," spokesman    Brian Fallon told the Washington Times. "He extends his    heartfelt congratulations to the cadets and their    families."
