"...if this were a case where some cops beat a minority, it would not matter if there was a conviction or if the matter was pre-trial." What a load of Bull. There are VERY few cases of that nature where the feds EVER got involved past a routine FBI investigation.
Of the 1,100 cases you reference how many ever got the Attorney General involved? ANY? If any, how many had such involvement prior to a trial? NONE would be my guess.
So? They nevertheless DID get involved early! I rest my case. NEXT!
Oh man, that is so funny! LMAO! That's like asking of a police department, of the thousands of cases investigated by the Department, how many cases got the Chief involved. I have to stop now, I've got tears in my eyes.
The Attorney General is in charge of the Dept. of Justice, of which the FBI is a major component of - that's what Gonzales has to do with this. Nobody expects Gonzales to handle the case himself. He is expected to direct the FBI to follow through with an investigation and direct the case to the U.S. Attorney's office for prosecution of any wrongdoing found within the scope of their authority to prosecute.
