No that's complete bullsh!t. It has to be at least investigated unless there no way way, no how it could have been racially motivated. Especially with the tensions that already existed between the public and the police in Ferguson. You're dreaming.

The tensions are there because people view the DOJ investigations as signs of wrongdoing.

One of the reasons that the Ferguson thing got so out of hand was that the DOJ took too long to squelch the rumor that Brown had his hands up when he was shot.

I'm not sure if that's true or not but, assuming it is, it seems as yet another reason why the DOJ shouldn't be involved unless there's sufficient evidence.

What do you think would have happened in Baton Rouge if it was announced right away that the local police were going to be in charge of investigating their own police officers?

When the feds come in it takes some of the focus off the local police.
