The US Department of Justice was arming the Mexican drug cartels, ignoring white voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers, and winking at the IRS selectively targeting of conservative organizations. It now proudly announces a new useless program, all form and no substance.
In a move Attorney General Eric Holder called a “major and important step forward to ensure effective policing,” the Obama administration issued its new strengthened guidelines Monday banning federal law enforcement from profiling on the basis of national origin, religion, and other characteristics. The strengthened anti-profiling policy is yet another part of the Department of Justice’s attempt to root out what it calls the “unconscious bias” of law enforcement officers.
Though the guidelines apply specifically to federal agencies within the DOJ (the FBI, DEA, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), Holder said he hopes the federal policies will impact local police departments. The new policy will require widespread re-education and even more thorough collection of data for the DOJ’s review.

Your priorities wouldn't seem to be in line with those of Obama/Holder.
Although they currently have no jurisdiction over state, county and local police forces, just wait...
