Washington (CNN)—The Justice Department is preparing to bring a lawsuit against the Ferguson, Missouri, police department over a pattern of racially discriminatory tactics used by officers, if the police department does not agree to make changes on its own, sources tell CNN.

Attorney General Eric Holder said this week he expects to announce the results of the department's investigation of the shooting death of Michael Brown and a broader probe of the Ferguson Police Department before he leaves office in the coming weeks.

Brown's shooting death at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson has thrust Ferguson into the center of a nationwide debate over police tactics and race relations. The Justice Department is expected to announce it won't charge Wilson for the shooting, but it's also expected to outline findings that allege a pattern of discriminatory tactics used by the Ferguson police.

The Justice Department action would ask for court supervision of changes at the Ferguson Police Department to improve how police deal with the minority communities they are supposed to protect.

​So, what no arrests for Obamas/Holders people for anything except what, murder?

Murder be off limits too.

We need the entire country to revolt and tear down fedgov. All of it. Force it all back into DC and never let it out ever again. If it doesn’t want to quit or go back there’s only one solution for it.

[MeshugeMikey]

Does Mrs Holders lil Ricky really want this to go all the way to the SCOTUS??

there goes his legacy///

[Mears]

This lawsuit will do wonders to improve race relations.

There’s a new day coming./s

So get out of the municipal police business and turn it all over to the county sheriff. This has been done in other communities.

[Glennb51]

This is the same garbage they perpetrated against MCSO.

[Political Junkie Too]

This is Claire McCaskill, Dick Gephardt, and Jean Carnahan's state. Can we blame them and throw them in jail?

If they go through with this, each and every LEO in that town should immediately just walk off the job and quit.

See how their community likes not having those hated ‘pigs’ around.

[Will88]

The racist jackasses Holder and Obama are desperate to come away with something, anything, to. show for their stupid and entirely unjustified meddling in Ferguson.

[cuban leaf]

You can sue anybody.

It’s winning that’s the trick.

[Slambat]

“The Justice Department is preparing to bring a lawsuit against the Ferguson, Missouri, police department”

So. Those tards can “bring” a lawsuit against anyone they want. Let them.

I have yet to see anyone calculate the loss in real estate values to the black and white residents of Ferguson due to “the troubles”.

This very personal loss can be laid squarely at the feet of Holder.
