A word of warning about this thread:

This thread is not here as a platform for posters to rehash the the Grand Jury and their decision to not indict Darren Wilson. Nor is it to be used to talk about the evidence, or lack thereof, in the case. This thread is centered on

Feds will not Charge officer Wilson with civil rights violation in the Mike Brown shooting


Any post that hijacks this thread and attempts to steer the topic toward the aforementioned will be deleted and infractions will be issued.

Default DOJ Ready to close the case on Wilson...

Justice Department said ready to clear Ferguson officer: N.Y. Times

Looks like the DOJ could not fined a civil right violation in the Brown/Wilson case.

Maybe the town can start to heal now.

Sad story all the way around.

Darrell Wilson was doing a very tough and dangerous job, put in a very bad spot. Taking the life of a fellow human being is something I never want to do.

Hopefully Darrell Wilson will be able to get-on with his life.

RIP Michael Brown.

I agree. And I add my condolences and best wishes for the victims of the thugs that rioted, burned and terrorized Ferguson and many other cities in this country after Officer Wilson was assaulted.

Grand jury did their job. Lynch mobs are so 1800's. Then there are the criminals still needing to have justice served on them.

Default Officer Wilson

Officer Wilson did his job and upheld the laws of Missouri and the US Constitution. Now his family has been threaten and the press has leaked his address and there is many who would take vengeance on the officer who did his job.

What would of happen if the Wilson was severally beaten and of died in a line of duty?

The end result we are going lose a dedicated Professional Officer, because of political pressure.

i would go a step further. There was no breaking of any law on the part of Mr. Wilson. The man put his life on the line to serve and protect. He was treated like an animal when the only person involved that day who acted like an animal that day is dead.

It isnt that Mr. Wilson didnt do anything wrong, it's that he did everything RIGHT.

Does anybody know which Civil Rights were in question?

From the narratives given I didn't think there would be any Civil Rights charges. Unless he detained him for no reason. Which was not the case as even jaywalking is a crime that could receive a ticket.

This was purely political.
