Ferguson Cop To Face No Civil Rights Charges, DoJ Recommends
While Benjamin L. Crump, a lawyer for Michael Brown’s family, said he did not want to comment on the investigation until the Justice Department made an official announcement, The New York Times reports that law enforcement officials have said The Justice Department has begun work on a legal memo recommending no civil rights charges against Darren Wilson, the white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., who killed the unarmed black teenager in August. A broader civil rights investigation into allegations of discriminatory traffic stops and excessive force by the Ferguson Police Department remains open, but Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., has said that he plans to have it done before leaving office, probably in the next month or two.
As The New York Times reports,
The Justice Department has begun work on a legal memo recommending no civil rights charges against a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., who killed an unarmed black teenager in August, law enforcement officials said.
That would close the politically charged case in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. The investigation by the F.B.I., which is complete, found no evidence to support civil rights charges against the officer, Darren Wilson, the officials said.
A broader civil rights investigation into allegations of discriminatory traffic stops and excessive force by the Ferguson Police Department remains open, however. That investigation could lead to significant changes at the department, which is overwhelmingly white despite serving a city that is mostly black.
The state authorities concluded their investigation into Mr. Brown’s death in November and similarly recommended no charges.
There is a high legal bar for bringing federal civil rights charges, and federal investigators had for months signaled that they were unlikely to do so. The Justice Department plans to release a report explaining its decision, though it is not clear when.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., has said that he plans to have it done before leaving office, probably in the next month or two if his successor is confirmed.
Three law enforcement officials discussed the details of the federal investigation on condition of anonymity because the report was incomplete and Mr. Holder and his top civil rights prosecutor, Vanita Gupta, had not formally made a decision. Dena Iverson, a Justice Department spokeswoman, declined to comment.
Benjamin L. Crump, a lawyer for Mr. Brown’s family, said he did not want to comment on the investigation until the Justice Department made an official announcement. “We’ve heard speculation on cases before that didn’t turn out to be true,” Mr. Crump said. “It’s too much to put the family through to respond to every rumor.” Mr. Crump said that at the end of last year that the Justice Department had told him that it was still investigating.
The lawyer for Mr. Wilson did not return calls for comment.

Get long Plywood and personal cameras...

Of course it's a little late for Officer Wilson...
Mr. Wilson resigned from the department in November, citing threats of violence against him and other officers. “It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal,” he said.

It's only fair, after all, he is a white po-lice man.
Someone's gotta tame the monkeys in the zoo.
Department of Justice is which branch of government? Judicial, Legislative, or EXECUTIVE?
Can we bus the Ferguson protestors to the steps of the DOJ now?
Ask Soros.
Ewwwww!
No!
I might get my blood sucked.
"Department of Justice is which branch of government? Judicial, Legislative, or EXECUTIVE? "
"Department of Treason, Ignorance, and Fabrication."
Treason, "levying war against the them" (the people), Ignorance, Corzine, etc., and Fabrication, patsies, etc.
The banksters need to repay us.

TBFH Too Big For Holder
If Eric Holder found him free of guilt, he must be the second coming.
Either that or it means he's racist.
Did they make a recommendation for civil rights charges against the dead thug's parents who shouted "Burn this mother down!," before the crowd did exactly that?
That was the deal
No, no civil rights violation because he incited them to burn down their own neighborhood.
Holder, you sneaky little shit, what are you up to here?
My thoughts exactly. There is more to the story.
Did they ever release the toxicology report on the Yute? I suspected PCP or maybe krokodil.
The toxicology report is sitting in a folder next to the MH17 control tower recordings.
I got the same feeling when they announced the end to the asset forfeiture program last week.
Bankers would just live in bed, without the incentive to steal from people every day. In my experience the Justice League(lol) doesn't turn a page unless it results in no less than 4 million people getting fucked over. My guess is someone just grabbed a manila folder from the wrong stack.
I'm sure when white people are killed by cops that there are stories of civil rights charges not being brought against the cop. Yep, I am sure that happens.
White guys are a-ok to kill but a black guy? Look out!
Everyone who pushes the poor black people are dealing with racism every single second of the day narrative can go fuck themselves.
Actually, they are dealing with racism every day... they don't like white people helping them, but they want the government do to it. That's racist. It's a shame the source is internal to their community.
Last week 68 year old white man shot and killed by local police.
NOT ONE WORD.
But the monkey that got shot down the road for holding a gun to his girls head resulted in a bus parade of cop hating Soros bought and paid for thugs.
(Who promptly left, once it was discovered we care for our racoons. Open fields and all that...) Coons like monkey meat.
They should be filing perjury and riot incitment charges against Mike Browns' friend for lying his arse off with that "Hands up, don't shoot" lie. Soros stooges, Sharpton, Holder and the Dept of Just-Us have been stirring the pot for racial riots with every case they can find where a "white" guy (see Zimmerman who the media dubbed "White Hispanic") shoots a black person.
ordo ab chao
For those not paying enough attention, power's focus on the murder of Michael Brown has actually deflected attention from the more heinous, and provable, crimes of treason that followed.
It is not just information they pump out as propaganda, it is misdirection.
"There is no rabbit in the hat, only blood on their hands."
The banksters need to repay us.
Notice: My "treason list," Crimes Against the American People List (CAAPL), keeps getting longer, and longer, and longer...
And another loss (strike one was Trayvon) for that great legal scholar Benjamin Crump. Hopefully he now spends a little of his off time learning to speak English before he goes in front of another camera.
If Jesse, Sharpton and now this illiterate fool are the best the civil rights movement can muster, it gives pause to consider that maybe the problem isn't that large.
"WHAT'S THE GOOD WORD?
THUNDERBIRD!
WHO DRINKS THE MOST?
COLORED FOLKS!"
Fuck Holder, Fuck Obama, Fuck Sharpton, Fuck Jesse and Fuck you Soros
Fuck Berspanke!
Nice timing Eric, two bananas after MLK 2015.
Well...this should go over smoothly.
Let this be a lesson to ye. Trying to beat the shit out of armed people has landed more than one on the slab. That's how it always has been.
The Obama regime's internal polling is showing that there is no more juice to squeeze from this fruit.
The end.
GRRRRRRRR!
This has got to be the most oft-repeated BIG LIE of the age.
Michael Brown's DNA has found on Officer Wilson's gun. Michael Brown WAS NOT UNARMED!
Lies! Lies! Lies!
Um...
You do realize that blood has DNA in it, correct?
If I shoot someone a half dozen times, don't you think I'll get some blood on the gun I have pointed at them?
Look I don't think Michael Brown is innocent, but for fucks sake man, that's what they give you a taser for. Non-lethal use of force to subdue an assailant.
I don't care how big the kid was, I've seen a 6' tall, 300lb man dropped to his ass in a split second with a piece of honey bun still in his mouth.(Work release story, hilarious, might share sometime.)
Cops should not carry guns, they have proven that they can't be trusted to use them correctly, safely or with human life in any kind of regard.
Give them all tasers and pepper spray, body armor and body cameras. That should be all they need, maybe a billy club for those Rodney King moments. And for all that anal resistance prevention I keep hearing about.
"He won't quit struggling and resisting, I can't get the cuffs on..."
"Shove your club up his ass, that should do it. He'll need to get used to the feeling anyway."
The Darwin award for charging an armed Police Officer goes too.......
Yeah brilliant idea, lets give the cops tasers and the criminals guns, that should work out really well.
Yeah, actually that would work out better in my opinion.
You prefer the baby-killing, unarmed-person-shooting, roid-rage mouthbreathers to be packing heat?
I've been on the wrong side of the system, I've seen what total assholes cops can be to innocent people.
Cops need to be de-clawed in the USSA, they need to be marched out back and smacked a few times. The only way we have a chance at any kind of freedom is if we put the corrupt enforcers of the corrupt system in their place.
I've met plenty of these so-called "Criminals" and most of them are more honorable than the lying jack-booted thugs that wear a badge.
You have to think about what you just said, they put someone in jail for not mowing their yard. So anyone with a busted lawn-mower or a neighbor that borrows it too long... is a Criminal.
The Fuck? They have gone completely mad with power and control, they need to be stopped. From the Puppet in the White House to the meatheads that enslave us for his masters benefit.
Please, open your eyes. Cops don't "Serve and Protect", they "Harrass and Arrest".
Your going to subdue someone wrestling with you in a car trying to get your gun with a taser? What do you do if he does get your gun when you're fumbling around trying to unholster your taser. It's cut and dry, if someone is trying to get at your weapon they are posing a deadly threat to you and you have a right to defend yourself with deadly force. That is exactly why there is no charges being brought against Wilson.
So, Officer Wilson shot the perp while the perp was backing away with his hands raised and the perp's blood spurted forward onto the officer's gun?
You must know some laws of physics that most other people don't know.
The gases emitted from the barrel of the gun would blow any blood or debris AWAY from the gun.
Here's an experiment you can try: fill a squirt gun full of your blood, stand behind a jet engine, and try squirting blood into the engine. If it works, you may have a case.
Otherwise, keep your day job and return you crime fighter comic books to the thrift store.
So after the first shot, and the guy had a gaping body hole in him, every other shot would prevent any blood from contacting the gun?
You are dismissing the discussion because of one fact that is unique to this case.
The Bottom line is the cops in this country are overzealous, unstable and given a free pass to shoot pretty much anyone for damn near anything.
I will be sure to mind my own business when cops have you pinned to the ground standing on the back of your neck with a gun to your head for not looking both ways when you cross the street.
.40 caliber hollow points for everyone. (No really, they ordered enough to shoot EVERYONE.)
300lb majmun with his 40" biceps and blood polluted with Meth was hardly unarmed. Any asshole who wants to keep using the term unarmed should prove the point by taking on the nearest 300lb ghetto buck.
All this over a box of cigars? As I remember, and I could be wrong, but the video shows him picking the cigars up - it doesn't actually show him stealing them. Even so, does it make any sense for things to escalate to this point? Apparently, George Soros is behind this, and it is classic divide and conquer. When the rights of anyone - no matter what color - are threatened, we are all threatened.
I don't have a problem with the policeman being put on trial to justify his actions. You or I would have to. All police should be required to live in the community they work for. Whenever you have an outside group policing a group they do not identify with, you have an unwholesome situation to start with.
I don't know what greater violation of a person's civil rights there can be than to deprive him of life without due process of law.
The problem is that most witnesses pushed the "executed while kneeling with his hands up" version of events. These events can't be proven because they didn't happen. The truth appears to be that the cop used excessive force and that could have been easily proven. It's a big leap between murder 1 and negligent homicide or whatever they could have proven.
It also didn't help that when the story initially broke the federal government and msm started questioning the number of white cops on the Ferguson police force and in the Ferguson government. It is the populist thing to do but! This line of thinking insinuates that white people shouldn't be policing or governing black people which really means that the races should be segregated. Someone realized that and you didn't hear much of the racial mix of the police and government after the initial couple of days.
