Justice Department Will Investigate Entire Ferguson Police Force
The Justice Department is expected to announce Thursday that it will open a broad civil rights investigation into the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department in the wake of the killing of an unarmed 18-year-old black man that touched off weeks of unrest.
The new civil rights investigation will be in addition to the federal criminal probe already underway as to whether Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, violated Michael Brown's civil rights or used excessive force after a confrontation between the men Aug. 9.

Hard to believe this would be occurring had there been no looting and burning of buildings and violent public push-back.
Maybe Eric Holder's injustice department should be investigating the wretched hive of scum and villainy known as the whole town of Ferguson.
Or is he too busy trying to overturn the last 40 years of strong-arm robbery sentencing among "urban" "youths"?

So since they couldn't find anything in the actions of the cop who shot the thug the DOJ will then go for the more arbitrary method of blaming the entire police force as a group for having non-politicaly correct methods of dealing with criminals.
