re: Did Holder's "I'm a black man" comments arguably violate Ethics rules?

Thanks for your help, VB. I appreciate it. I did find that website before you linked it, and, I gave it a second read after you linked it. I read the CFR links that you provided from the DoJ website, and, I found nothing like the ABA Rules for Professional Conduct.
So, AG Eric Holder is not legally bound to honor the American Bar Association's Rules for Professional Conduct for attorneys. We can agree on that.
Should he honor those rules notwithstanding any binding or controlling legal authority?
And, could you answer this very relevant question:
Would a thoughtful, wise, competent AG who possesses good judgment make such extrajudicial comments?

You can't ask that question without taking into consideration the factors involved. This is a 56 person police force with 53 white cops and 3 black cops in a town of 75% black people. You have nightly protests and cops in military gear and armaments. Having the AG and the president essentially say "I feel your pain" goes a lot towards quashing further violence than saying what this board is saying which is that MB and his friend are criminal thugs who got what they deserved and the people marching are thugs as well.
If you can't understand that, then in don't know what to tell you.
And btw, watching the rerun of Fox News Sunday, looks like the police chief and Karl Rove agree with me. His words helped.
