Eric Holder's DOJ Drops Ferguson Lawsuit

Just heard it on the radio driving down the highway. Evidently there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute the Ferguson police officer for civil rights violations. I guess that settles it.

Not surprised. There were leaks a couple months ago that Holder was going to drop it for lack of any case against the officer.

And I hope to win the lottery. Odds of either happening are extremely low.

Re: Eric Holder's DOJ Drops Ferguson Lawsuit

I never commented too much on the Ferguson case. I still think it was wrong for the cop to shoot an unarmed man, but the only ones who know EXACTLY what happened and the circumstances are the dead guy and the officer.

Please tell us what a Cop is supposed to do when someone just attacked him and beat the mess out of him and tried to take his gun and is now charging at the cop...and is 80 pounds heavier?

DOJ rejects the claim that Michael Brown had his hands up. Guess that "Hands up, Don't Shoot" chant and all the retail products can be scrapped.

Re: Eric Holder's DOJ Drops Ferguson Lawsuit

Perhaps the most disturbing findings were the racist email exchanges between police and court officials, which show outright hostility and prejudice toward the St. Louis suburb's black residents.
