Attorney General Eric Holder released the following statement Monday following his briefing of President Obama on the latest developments in the federal civil rights investigation in Ferguson, Missouri:
“As I informed the President this afternoon, the full resources of the Department of Justice are being committed to our federal civil rights investigation into the death of Michael Brown.
“During the day today, more than 40 FBI agents continued their canvassing of the neighborhood where Michael Brown was shot. As a result of this investigative work, several new interviews have already been conducted.
“Moreover, at my direction, an additional medical examination is being performed on the body of Michael Brown. This autopsy is being performed today by one of the most experienced medical examiners in the United States military. I am confident this additional autopsy will be thorough and aid in our investigation.
“In addition to updating the President on these developments, I informed him of my plan to personally travel to Ferguson Wednesday. I intend to meet with FBI investigators, and prosecutors on the ground from the Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney’s Office officials about the ongoing investigation.
“I realize there is tremendous interest in the facts of the incident that led to Michael Brown’s death, but I ask for the public’s patience as we conduct this investigation. The selective release of sensitive information that we have seen in this case so far is troubling to me. No matter how others pursue their own separate inquiries, the Justice Department is resolved to preserve the integrity of its investigation. This is a critical step in restoring trust between law enforcement and the community, not just in Ferguson, but beyond.
“In order to truly begin the process of healing, we must also see an end to the acts of violence in the streets of Ferguson. Those who have been peacefully demonstrating should join with law enforcement in condemning the actions of looters and others seeking to enflame tensions.
“To assist on this front, the Department will be dispatching additional representatives from the Community Relations Service, including Director Grande Lum, to Ferguson. These officials will continue to convene stakeholders whose cooperation is critical to keeping the peace. Furthermore, as the President has announced, Ron Davis, our Director of the COPS office, will arrive on the ground in Ferguson Tuesday. Ron has been in touch with local and state officials since last week, providing technical assistance on crowd control techniques and facilitating communications between Missouri officials and other law enforcement officials whose communities have faced similar challenges in the past.”
I think they’re going to ‘look’ until they find what they want to find. If this Autopsy doesn’t hand the young cop, they’ll do a fourth and a fifth and a sixth...

Will he just sit back until there isn't an intact store in the town?
They both (Barry and Holder) will sit back and wait until some rich, White, libs start getting targeted. When the throngs try to climb over the fences guarding their Mansions and the fancy stores, and when some of the MSM dutifully reporting the White House talking points get injured or killed by the “protestors”. That might be enough for the “journalists” to start being Journalists.
This is just beyond the pale.
Holder speaking of integrity and justice. Bah.
He going down there to strong-arm them to prosecute an officer who did nothing but protect himself within the bounds of the Law.
The Rats are now using for autopsy the formula that they rely on when counting votes; they will keep looking until they get the answer they want.
Listened to mac daddies lie-a-thon today.
There were six words that made me want to puke, “We are a nation of laws”.
How could the leader of the free world, POTUS say something like that when he disregards those laws that he does not like?
What a flaming moron and unrepenant liar.
