Feds Don’t Find Enough Evidence To Charge Darren Wilson

Posted by | January 22, 2015 09:30 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


A federal investigation has failed to find enough evidence to charge former Ferguson, MO police officer Darren Wilson with a civil rights violation in the death of Michael Brown.

The FBI has completed its investigation into the August shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, and sent the findings to the Justice Department, a law enforcement official and a separate U.S. official said Wednesday.

Justice Department prosecutors will not recommend civil rights charges against Wilson, who killed Brown, because there is not sufficient evidence to support charges, a U.S. official told CNN…

However, the final Justice Department report has not been completed. The FBI joined local officials in interviewing over 200 people and looked at much the same evidence as the grand jury…

Ultimately, the decision will be made by Attorney General Eric Holder, who has said he will announce a decision before he leaves office, which is expected to be by spring.

    I guess this means that “Hands up. don’t shoot” really was a lie. My, my, what will the activists do now?

      No, that is not what that means.

      No it doesn’t mean that you idiot.
      What it means is that the threshold to charge under a civil rights violation is incredibly high.
      To do so the Justice department would need to prove malice and forethought.
      Essentially the prosecution would need to prove that the Officer got up that morning with the intent to go kill someone.
      The DOJ investigation was neither unusual, nor were the results un expected.

        You are correct William, except you went a little far when you said “got up that morning with the intent to go kill someone.”

        If there was evident malice and forethought related to the police officer’s actions , it could have been evident much closer to the time of the police officer’s actions and still meet the threshold. In other words, if it could have been shown that the officer was angry and out of control, let’s say by feeling dissed by any of Mr. Brown’s words or actions during their encounter, then while subsequently chasing Mr. Brown through the streets someone had heard the officer screaming you fu*kin’ ni*ge* or something to that effect, before shooting Mr. Brown, especially while Mr. Brown was trying to surrender or if the officer had shot him the back while Mr. Brown was running away, evidence such as that could have reached a malice and forethought threshold right near the time of the shooting. He didn’t have to WAKE UP THAT MORNING wanting to kill some black guys to meet the high threshold….

        Apparently though, as you said, the Feds did not find any or enough evidence of malice and forethought to bring a case…..

    Feds don’t find enough evidence — I guess FPD was able to hide or make the evidence disappear effectively after all. Too bad the Feds didn’t start the investigation earlier.

    It’s funny how the justice dept can’t seem to find any proof after the administration and their toadies push these cases. George Zimmerman and now Darren Wilson. Face facts, You were lied to in order to pump up voter turnout in a midterm election. You took the bait hook line and sinker. Gruber was correct when he said you guys need to be lied to.
