The FBI, US Attorney General for the Eastern District of Missouri Richard G. Callahan and Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Molly Moran [official websites] on Friday released a statement [text] announcing the next steps in the federal civil rights investigation into the recent killing of Michael Brown in Missouri. The team plans to continue interviewing witnesses to conduct a thorough and complete investigation of the incident.
Following the shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, in Florida in 2012 the US has confronted the issue [JURIST report] of racial profiling by police units, and the recent killing of Brown has reinvigorated similar concerns. On Thursday the parents of Trayon Martin and a similar victim addressed racial discrimination [ACLU report] in the US before the United Nations. On Monday the US Attorney General announced [press release] a statement declaring the investigation of the Brown shooting will receive a "fulsome review." On Tuesday the FBI opened a probe [WSJ report] into the shooting. Also this week Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy websites] issued reports [JURIST report] alleging the use of police force and intimidation tactics to dispel largely nonviolent protestors following the shooting threatens constitutional freedoms. In late June the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] published a report [JURIST report] arguing that increased militarization of police forces is putting citizens at risk rather than protecting them.
The Truth
A hippy wannabe pining for the glory days.
Close enough. In the minds of liberals, Zimmerman will forever be known as a "wannabe cop".
Really!
After interviewing all the witnesses thoroughly what are they going to do the next hour?
Looks pretty calm. GOOD!
That describes about 85% of college students these days.
That cop should be landing in Moscow airport already. He’ll be extremely lucky not to go to prison. The best outcome he can hope for is freedom combined with complete financial ruin, and rappers putting a bounty on him and publishing his whereabouts.
“AWL po leeses should be in Jail Yall”
more like who can they take down for political points.
The DOJ finally decided to investigate the black panther voter intimidation case? About damn time!!
Oh wait...
