U.S. Justice Dept. Prepared To Sue Ferguson Police Department For Racial Discrimination
The Justice Department is prepared to bring a lawsuit against the Ferguson, Missouri, police department over a pattern of racially discrimination.
The United States Justice Department is preparing to bring a lawsuit against the Ferguson police department over a pattern of racially discrimination, if the police department does not agree to make changes on its own, according to CNN.
Attorney General Eric Holder is looking to announce the results of the department’s investigation of the shooting death of Michael Brown and a broader probe of the Ferguson Police Department before he leaves office.
I think everybody will see when we announce our results that the process that we have engaged in is, as I said back at the time when I went to Ferguson, independent, thorough and based on all the facts,” he said. “And I am confident that people will be satisfied with the results that will be announced.”
Ferguson Chief of Police Thomas Jackson provided a statement to CNN regarding the matter: “I have received nothing new. Everything they suggested in the past has been reasonable and we have tried to comply.”
Stay tuned for more on this news story and results of this investigation.
