Whatever happened to the theory that the FBI only got involved when there appeared to be an "interstate" aspect to the crime?

Gotta read the article. The FBI is involved at the request of the local U.S. Attorney's office on a civil rights angle.

I had some doubts when I first read of the incident, but the video tape is pretty damning. He put three bullets in the guy's back after telling him to get up.
