Eric Holder: American ‘Greatness’ Never Really Existed

A partial transcript is as follows:

ARI MELBER: Theres a lot of talk about American being a leader as a democracy, quote unquote, in the 1800s when women and African-Americans couldnt vote. What kind of democracy is that?

ERIC HOLDER: Well, thats exactly right and thats why I hear lets Make America Great Again, and I think to myself when did you think America was great? It certainly wasnt when people were enslaved. It certainly wasnt when women did have the right to vote. It certainly wasnt when the LGBT community was denied the rights to which it was entitled.

MELBER:Does that phrase echo as discrimination in your ears?

HOLDER: It takes us back to an American past that never in fact really existed, this notion of greatness. You know, America has done superb things, great things, and it has been a leader in a whole range of things, but were always a work in process. Looking back, Make America Great Again is inconsistent with who we are as Americans at our best where we look at the uncertain future, embrace it, and make it our own.

Eric Holder’s Driver Now Investigated In Fatal Shooting …

Earlier this month, we reported on the murder of Grammy nominee Nipsey Hussle, and have pointed out that he had been working on a documentary that was to address a cure for cancer and AIDS. Police arrested Eric Holder on suspicion of murder in the case. Now, they are investigating Holders getaway driver who is seen in a new video aiding Holder to flee the scene.

The following video was from the surveillance camera that captured the moment of the shooting, though cars blocked the full view of what took place. It appears that the shooter enters from the left portion of the screen.

According to TMZ:

Trending: Minneapolis: Muslim Cop Who Killed Unarmed Woman Says He Shot Her To Stop The Threat

Nipsey Hussles murderer made a mad dash to a car with a driver who was waiting to speed away from the murder scene and its all captured on video.

TMZ has seen the video shot from a surveillance camera in the area. You see the shooter race down an alley to the waiting car. The killer stops at the car for a second, then gets inside the passenger seat and the driver floors it. Its apparent from the video the driver was waiting to bolt from the scene.

Its now been several weeks and the driver still has not been arrested, although, our law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD and the L.A. County D.A. are actively investigating.

One law enforcement source tells us, one of the hangups is whether thedriver had knowledgethe killer whom police believe isEric Holder had a gun and was intent on murdering Nipsey. Were told the driver insisted she did not know his intent or that he was armed.

The outlet then added:

Our sources say when the car initially rolled up to The Marathon Clothing store, Holder was driving and the woman was the passenger. Were told Holder parked in the mini-mall parking lot next to the store. As the woman waited in the car, Nipsey and Holder had their initial conversation, in which Nipsey rebuffed him after suggestinghe was a snitch which Holder denied.

Contrary to some reports, were told the conversation continued without animosity. The 2 engaged in some sort of friendly hand gesture, after which, Holder walked over to the burger joint in the same mall, ordered something and eventually got in the car and left.

Were told the car returned a short time later to a street that is connected to the alley that leads to the mall. The woman was driving and Holder was a passenger. Were told after Holder got out and walked toward the mall, she kept the car running and waited for him to return.

Page Six reported:

The driver was interviewed by cops after Hussles March 31 killing, but they let her go.

The woman told police she did not know Holder intended to kill Hussle or that he had a gun, according to the website.

The obvious question should be, was this really a personal beef charge, as alleged by police, or was there something more sinister going on?

Holder has pleaded not guilty.

Many may think because of the kind of music that Hussle engaged in, it is unimportant, but the questions still remains: did Hussles murder have anything to do with his documentary?

Nipsey Hussle killing suspect identified as Eric Holder

(CNN) Police continue to look Tuesday for the man accused of killing Nipsey Hussle, the day after a vigil for the rapper turned into an absolutely chaotic stampede, resulting in trampling injuries, some of them critical.

The manhunt for suspect Eric Holder unfolded as surveillance video emerged showing the moment Nipsey and two others were shot Sunday afternoon. The rapper died.

The Grammy-nominated artist was among four people standing between cars outside the Marathon Clothing store he owned in Los Angeles Hyde Park neighborhood, video from a surveillance camera trained on the parking lot shows.

It is not clear which of the four is Nipsey, but they appear to be casually talking as others mill about in front of the store. A figure dressed in dark clothing appears to approach the four, and then everyone scatters.

Two of the people standing by the car dont get far, however. They fall to the ground. One of them, wearing a white hat and shirt, tries to get back up but promptly collapses, the video, which has no sound, shows.

It is not clear if the figure in dark clothing is Holder, 29, who Los Angeles police said early Tuesday is wanted in the homicide.

Late Monday, about 300 people gathered around a candlelight memorial in the Marathon Clothing parking lot, feet from where the rapper was shot.

There were initial reports of gunshots, but police quickly knocked down those reports. Its unclear what caused the crowd to flee, but Los Angeles police spokeswoman Meghan Aguilar described it to CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS as absolutely chaotic, mass panic.

When we were watching it from footage from overhead, it was literally people scattered in all directions, she said.

At about 8:15 p.m., something causes people suddenly to run through and around the candle-and-balloon memorial and into the street, video from the affiliate shows. Police with riot gear and batons begin forming containment lines.

People carry away the injured as emergency responders tend to people on the ground, the KCAL/KCBS video shows.

Some of the people present threw rocks and bottles at police officers, and at least one officer was injured, Aguilar said. At least one person was detained for disorderly conduct, she said.

Nineteen people were transported to the hospital, most of them with trample injuries, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. Two suffered critical injuries, and two more were hurt seriously. One person was hit by a car, the department said.

None of the injured suffered gunshot wounds, Los Angeles police said.

The grainy video of Nipseys shooting does not provide much in the way of detail, but police late Monday offered additional information about the shooting.

At about 3:20 p.m. Sunday, the suspect walked up to the men standing in the parking lot and opened fire, police said. He then ran down an alley and jumped into the passenger side of a car driven by an unidentified female, they said.

The car was a white, four-door 2016 Chevrolet Cruze with the California license plate 7RJD742, police said.

Two people were transported to the hospital; one refused treatment at the scene, and Nipsey died from gunshots to the head and torso, authorities said.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas called for calm following news of the rappers death.

Violent retaliation for this event will not be tolerated, he said. For healing to occur, even from this terrible incident, justice must be sought through legal means, and community peace must be found.

The 33-year-old Nipsey was a mainstay of the Crenshaw District where he grew up. He owned businesses there, invested in the community and counted several Los Angeles rappers among his influences and collaborators.

Two of his mixtapes Slauson Boy Vol. 1 and Crenshaw took their names from the area. The Marathon Clothing store sits near West Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard. Though Nipsey released several mixtapes independently or through his All Money In record label, his studio debut, Victory Lap, dropped last year and was nominated for a Grammy.

After his death, a police commissioner said Nipsey, a member of the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips, had requested a meeting to discuss ways to mitigate gang violence.
