40 FBI AGENTS LOOK FOR CIVIL RIGHTS CRIME IN FERGUSON SHOOTING DEATH The Department of Justice has 40 FBI agents canvassing Ferguson, Missouri to learn whether a white police officer should be charged with a civil rights crime for shooting an unarmed black teen, the agency confirmed on Tuesday. Reporters in Missouri have tallied up stories from at least 12 witnesses who back the account of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, 18, last week. Still, a civil rights verdict against Wilson could subject him to execution under federal law. The DOJ is conducting interviews with an eye toward determining if a federal case will be made of the shooting, regardless of whether the state of Missouri charges Wilson with murder or manslaughter. Its conceivable that he might not be charged for killing the teen, but still face a trial in federal court for violating his civil rights. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2729072/We-dont-need-people-coming-Ferguson-Obamas-allies-wont-ask-visit-riot-site-dead-teen-Michael-Browns-grandfather-demanding-meeting.html
