Attorney General Eric Holder released this statement after news came down that Darren Wilson would not be indicted for the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri:
While the grand jury proceeding in St. Louis County has concluded, the Justice Departments investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown remains ongoing. Though we have shared information with local prosecutors during the course of our investigation, the federal inquiry has been independent of the local one from the start, and remains so now. Even at this mature stage of the investigation, we have avoided prejudging any of the evidence. And although federal civil rights law imposes a high legal bar in these types of cases, we have resisted forming premature conclusions.
Michael Browns death was a tragedy. This incident has sparked a national conversation about the need to ensure confidence between law enforcement and the communities they protect and serve. While constructive efforts are underway in Ferguson and communities nationwide, far more must be done to create enduring trust. The Department will continue to work with law enforcement, civil rights, faith and community leaders across the country to foster effective relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve and to improve fairness in the criminal justice system overall. In addition, the Department continues to investigate allegations of unconstitutional policing patterns or practices by the Ferguson Police Department.
Gotta keep that hate going!
He said that after Zimmerman's acquittal also.
Well golly gee Holder. Get the word out to the rioters as quickly as possible. They no doubt will be calmed by the news.
No wonder Holder works for the Government. A first year pre-law student can see that “there is no there, there”.
Did Holder order the National Guard to stand down while the town was burned last night ...or, was it Obama himself?
When will this asshat go away?!!!!
So the Feds will remain in ferguson. Are the Feds still in Sanford Florida?
That’s the same thing he says about the Trayvon Martin case, “investigation ongoing”. It means they are not going to do anything because there’s nothing left to investigate. All the evidence is in and there wasn’t even enough to establilsh probable cause.
Of course it is...
Justice Departments investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown remains ongoing.... Like Benghazi?
It sounds like Holder is determined to lynch D. Wilson by any means. Should this happen, armed resistance to those who would enforce the lawless Federal edict would seem acceptable if not expected.
Racists running the government can only lead to more trouble for USA. (Wasn’t holder supposed to be gone ?)
Holder an’t let it go, can he?
Holder is truly the engineer of terror.
From his law firm which protected terrorists
(now to be released) to Fast&Furious to Fast&Ferguson,
Holder exudes corruption.
I thought that the dufus had resigned.
It’s how racist operate.
Egggzakly! Since the burden of proof in what Holder expects to do is significantly greater than the grand jury's requirement and the GJ said no dice, Holder can only be proceeding with the purpose of keeping the pot stirred until the next event. He should be impeached along with his boss.
