Here Come The Feds: Probe To Be Launched Of Ferguson Police Department
The U.S. Justice Department is planning to take a top-to-bottom look at the Ferguson, Missouri, police department, according to what officials told CNN. A Missouri official and a federal official said on Wednesday that the civil rights division of the Justice Department is preparing to launch a new investigation into the Ferguson police department.
CNN reports:
Justice Department representatives met with Ferguson officials in Missouri and informed them of the intent to launch the preliminary probe, said the Missouri official, who had direct knowledge of the meeting.
It is distinct from the Justice Department’s previously announced civil rights probe that is specific to the August 9 shooting of Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, who is white.
That shooting and the fact authorities didn’t immediately, and still haven’t, charged Wilson spurred emotional and, at times, violent protests on the streets of Ferguson.
This investigation would be much broader, in order to look at the conduct of the entire Ferguson Police Department over the past several years.
