The Department of Justice has 40 FBI agents canvassing Ferguson, Missouri to learn whether a white police officer should be charged with a ´civil rights´ crime for shooting an unarmed black teen, the agency confirmed on Tuesday. [Snip] The DOJ is conducting interviews with an eye toward determining if a federal case will be made of the shooting, regardless of whether the state of Missouri charges Wilson with murder or manslaughter. It´s conceivable that he might not be charged for killing the teen, but still face a trial in federal court for violating his civil rights.

“It’s not a war on police - ‘rats love the cops, they hide behind them, and most cops are unionized and vote ‘rat. The days of the conservative cop are going by the wayside.”
Not where I’m at (Texas).
Looks like the illegals are off the Radar now. All ahead full steam.
some say they are going to crucify that officer. discounting black crime as not being committed by a cop like that makes it ok. Why no noise about Chicago?
Holder will still have to convince a St Louise grand jury to indict on civil rights violations. More than likely the Justice Dept will send monitors to Ferguson PD (Like Sheriff Joe Arpio’s office in Phoenix, and study it, going back years, to see if there is a pattern of profiling or discrimination, then they will charge them criminally or civilly. Can crush a locality. The full force of the government is a violent thing.
I think that is close to the truth.
Bingo!
The House of Representin’ needs appoint overseers for all gov’t agencies now.
Screw these hearings.
These agencies are NOT adjuncts of the Executive; they are trustees of the Legislative Branch that funds them.
Time to shake them out bigtime.
Despicable government is despicable.
"That's my line!"
You are not wrong.
The FBI and a whole bunch of alphabet soup federal agencies went after dissenters and to date not one person has been held accountable. Fidel Castro and Julian Castro would be proud. Watch Julian. He will be the next Obama.
That scandal lies at the feet of holder as head of the dept. of selective justice.
Question is....will they get the opportunity to plant the evidence!!!
Exactly! Or the little white girl in NJ murdered and stuffed in a trash can by two black ‘yutes’ for her friggin’ bicycle?
Why isn’t Holder ‘investigating’ that?
You know what? We The People have had ENOUGH! I cannot WAIT for November! It’s going to be a Constitutional, LEGAL bloodbath...
Well, at least I hope so!
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
They want a federal autopsy to be used in a federal grand jury. A federal grand jury will not allow evidence from state forensics and autopsies in evidence. Circumstances as to what made the officer shoot and physical damage to the officer will not be allowed in evidence. The narrow definition of civil right violation will be pleaded by the federal prosecutor. The Officer will be indicted by the Federal grand jury.
What makes you think the federal grand jury will be in St. Louis?
Ferguson is simply a suburb of St Louis, Mo. No idea why media never says that.
Federal court still has to select jurors from vicinity of “crime” venue and geographical jurisdiction of the Court.
meanwhile back in Chicago, how many black yut on black yut killings has obammy and holder ignored???
Nothing to exploit here folks, move along.
“Looks like the illegals are off the Radar now. All ahead full steam.”
Funny how something always pops up that gets the heat off Obama just when he needs it. Almost looks staged to do just that, course then the MSM and the commies and black panthers would have to be involved, that would be a conspiracy and we all know they don’t exist. Do they?
