Time for the corrupt Eric Holder Department of Justice to divert attention away from Obama’s failures in the middle east and ISIS. The race hustling DOJ is set to open a civil investigation of the entire Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department. Just as things finally started to calm down in Ferguson, and riots, looting stopped, the Obama regime is pouring gas on the fire to get it going again.

The Justice Department intends to launch a civil rights investigation of the entire Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department, according to administration officials.
An announcement of the investigation is planned for Thursday.
With the help of the FBI, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has been investigating last month’s fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, who was wounded several times by a Ferguson police officer. The shooting touched off several days of sometimes violent protest.
But this new investigation would be much broader, looking at the conduct of the entire Ferguson Police Department over the past several years.
The Justice Department will also look at the practices of the county police department, but that will be a more cooperative investigation, an administration official said.
Since 1994, the Justice Department has had the legal authority to investigate whether a law enforcement organization is engaging in a “pattern or practice” of civil rights violations. Some investigations end with agreements to improve conduct. Others end up in federal court for a resolution.
