The Justice Department will issue findings Wednesday that accuse the police department in Ferguson, Mo., of racial bias and routinely violating the constitutional rights of black citizens by stopping drivers without reasonable suspicion, making arrests without probable cause and using excessive force, officials said.
Federal officials opened their civil rights investigation into the Ferguson police department after the uproar in the St. Louis suburb and across the country over the fatal shooting in August of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson police officer. A grand jury in St. Louis declined to indict Wilson in November.
Federal officials will not bring civil rights charges against Wilson, but they see their broad civil rights investigation into the troubled Ferguson police department as the way to force significant changes in Ferguson policing. . .

(Just a minor little fact that should be on the table during any discussion of race and policing.)
A mostly black district has mostly black criminals?
That’s clearly a white racist plot.
Simple Solution . . . hire Black Police ONLY to patrol the Black neighborhoods. If the crime statistics don’t change, well it can’t be discrimination then can it?
“the constitutional rights of black citizens”
Ha ha that’s a good one. What is Constitutional rights? Hmmm..this suggest that there is some sort of constitution we are suppose to pay strict adherence,too?
“Thats clearly a white racist plot.”
Well, actually it kind of is when you consider anything from Margret Sanger to LBJ Great Society to Barrack Obama.
The same people, throughout time, who cry wolf all the time. Progressive, liberals and Socialist oh my!
I should have said Obama’s people not Obama. Although, in the long run Obama, like nearly all prog/lib/socialist, is really doing more harm than good for the black race.
yawn...... black abuse, police yada yada yada
And where are the lawsuits BECAUSE of the findings?
Is that NOT the fundamental job OF Fedzilla?
Why is Holder NOT prosecuting the offenders??
Here's a couple of tables from the FBI new NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System) that also show it.
Please note that the last four columns of the Offender Table are my additions.. THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE FBI TABLES. I want to make that clear.
Seems that blacks are being arrested far more than their percentage of the population would suggest. And how could it be that there are far more black offenders than black victims.. golly gee. NIBRS is racist?
