With a grand jury decision looming on whether a white police officer should face charges in the killing of an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., the investigation has sprung a few leaks.
New details from the inquiry into Michael Brown’s Aug. 9 death — all provided by unidentified sources and which seem to support Officer Darren Wilson’s story of what happened that day — have emerged in St. Louis and national news outlets in recent days.
The U.S. Department of Justice condemned the leaks Wednesday as “irresponsible and highly troubling” and said, “There seems to be an inappropriate effort to influence public opinion about this case.”
The details and news reports say that Brown struggled with Wilson in his patrol car and that Wilson’s gun went off in the car before a brief foot chase ensued.
Wilson ultimately shot Brown several times, and Brown’s body lay in the street for more than four hours, kindling a rage on the streets of Ferguson and St. Louis that has yet to wholly subside.
The leaks seemed to create a fresh rupture in trust with black St. Louis-area officials and protesters, who said Wednesday that they were upset with what they saw as another breakdown in the justice system because information from the supposedly secret grand jury continued to appear in the media. The grand jury’s decision is expected in November.
“There is no way there should be reports from all these anonymous sources and these ‘leaks’ ....This is supposed to play out in the courts and the justice system, and not the media,” said Patricia Bynes, a committeewoman for Ferguson township, which includes the city of Ferguson, and a prominent voice in the protest movement. Quoting a popular chant, she added, “The whole damn system is guilty as hell.”

The DOJ makes the truth what ever it says the truth is ....
Why yes! That one. The same one that wanted to keep the lid on this to wring every last vote they can out of this faux travesty.
On the contrary this is a DOJ cover up, the leaks are designed by the DOJ to incite more rioting, now Holder is playing both sides of the coin.

Yes, DOJ leaks the information , while decrying it
as Irresponsible and troubling, in an effort to save
face, and at the same time keep the pot boiling.
This if traced to DOJ is a criminal act in itself.
Get with the damned narrative will ya!,,
This nasty White cop. Killed this angelic young black male who was only trying to better himself through school and Jesus.
And i am tall dark handsome with big feet.
We good, as long as they can't trace it back to us.
pound sand
My, it really hurts when the other side plays by the same rules doesn't it.
I curse Benjamin L. Crump, esq.
The DOJ never condemned those protesters who demanded Wilson’s conviction and/or death before the grand jury had even evaluated the evidence.
Don't worry. McCain came up with a great idea. I'll just appoint a czar and insulate myself from criticism...
Does the Justice Department condemn attacking a police officer?
Here's the first paragraph of the NY Times story:
WASHINGTON — The police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., two months ago has told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled over his gun with Mr. Brown, according to government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation into the matter,.
So, how does the DoInJustice know the leaks are coming from somebody sworn to secrecy?
They would have not minded leaks if they pointed the other direction
It is hurting their agenda - they have absolutely no interest in justice being served. UNLESS you believe a lynch mob democracy is the answer for the RAT party to get out the LIV black vote in 12 days.
