"Holder said the Justice Department was providing new guidance to law enforcement authorities about how to approach maintaining public safety while safeguarding the free speech rights of protesters.

"The Justice Department encourages law enforcement officials, in every jurisdiction, to work with the communities they serve to minimize needless confrontation," Holder said in a video address released by the department.

Holder also sent a message to protesters that "the most successful and enduring movements for change are those that adhere to non-aggression and non-violence." Ron Davis, the top official in a Justice Department office advising Ferguson authorities on crowd response, told Reuters the department has been pressing local police not to use the heavy-handed tactics that spurred anger in August. Local police used military vehicles and riot gear to deal with some protesters in August."

watching the news conference now- talking about the “rules” of engagement... say they do not know when the GJ will announce. A lot of speculation on twitter, but no-one really knows for sure.
