IN THE CLEAR: Officer Darren Wilson WON'T face federal civil rights charges after FBI completes probe of Ferguson shooting

Darren Wilson isn't expected to face civil rights charges over the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., last August after an F.B.I. investigation found no evidence to support charges, law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.
The Justice Department has yet to make any official announcement, but sources close to the department have said such a prosecution would be unlikely, in part because of the extraordinarily high legal standard federal prosecutors would need to meet.
Wilson was cleared in November by a state grand jury in the August 9 death of Michael Brown, a shooting that touched off protests in the streets and became part of a national conversation about race relations and police departments that patrol minority neighborhoods.
Attorney General Eric Holder visited Ferguson in the days after the shooting to calm tensions and meet with Brown's family and law enforcement.
Wilson, who shot Brown after a scuffle in the middle of the street, told the grand jury that reviewed the case that he feared for his life when Brown hit him and reached for his gun.
Some witnesses have said Brown had his hands up when Wilson shot him.

Ha!
Once again, despite making a big show to appease the mobs, Obama and Holder fail to find a way to lynch themselves a white boy.
Ut oh....*Revs* Al and Jesse will NOT take this news sitting down. Protest we much.
Chalk up another “loss” for Eric Holder. OH, he SO wanted Darren Wilson to be guilty of - something.
But have no fear, there is another bite at the apple. The Ferguson Police Department is still facing a Federal indictment.
The fergadishu rioters should head to DC, take it to the white hut and to quote Michael Brown’s step-babydaddy “Burn this b1tch down!!!”
The danger and idiocy of this search for evidence that “Wilson willfully deprived Brown of his Civil Rights” no doubt has come down to scouring every possible source to see if Wilson ever made a racial joke, comment, or any statement that could possibly be construed as off-color.
In effect, is there any evidence he committed a “thought crime.”
Hands up? Seems he was more of a 'hands on' kind of guy.
Took this long to admit that there’s no “there” there.
That’s nice. Now what’s he gonna do for a living?
so now any civil case is even further hobbled.
Let the riots begin! There will be less “stuff” to go around this time due to store closings. They’ll have to expand their riot range to the malls farther out.
Can he sue Sharpton for slander? Just a thought.
A good man a good officer lost his career for what reason.
His bosses are cowards. I don’t even think he got paid for the loss of his career.
I say he should now get 10 years pay and credit for retirement as compensation.
I heard the Holder has yet to approve this.
They’ve destroyed Wilson’s life the same as they did Zimmerman’s. Hope he can hold it together better than GZ.
