Justice Dept. to Recommend No Civil Rights Charges in Ferguson Shooting
by Matt Apuzzo & Michael S. Schmidt
WASHINGTON — 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.
This therefore lends much credence to the chronology of events as portrayed by ex-Ferguson Police Department Officer Darren Wilson, who indicated that suspect Michael Brown did in fact attempt to disarm him and did in fact strike him, requiring the application of force which, in that case, was Officer Wilson’s sidearm.
Think about this: ex-Officer Wilson was forced to resign and he and his family subject to death threats locally and nationally, despite his actions being upheld in two separate legal venues: the Grand Jury failed to indict, and the US Department of Justice will fail to charge.
Officer Wilson’s actions were scrutinized for months by, literally, hundreds of persons, one sitting jury and the US DOJ. He was exonerated in both instances and still his professional and likely his private life was destroyed.
For responding properly to a threat.
Don’t think for a moment there wasn’t great pressure on the DOJ to find something, anything on Darren Wilson, with said pressure coming directly from the Oval Office and the Racial Pimps, NYC and DC chapters.
On a professional and clinical level, justice was done.
On a personal level, one good man’s life was changed forever.

And now the civil suits will start… sigh… And you know BO and Holder are BOTH pissed! 🙂
You can bet Obama and Holder are displeased. And oh yes, let the civil suits commence. However, with the GJ and DOJ declining to indict, the civil side just got a little tougher to prove.

Not every ghetto lottery ticket is a winner. Back to selling t-shirts and fighting over the franchise.
True dat. Not everyone can play bassitball.

Since Holder still has to sign off on it, I’ll believe it when it is put out officially. And then will there be protests again and looting?
Of course there will. I’m shocked you even asked the question. On the other hand, has this been covered much by the American Media Maggots? Not so much, not yet.
