"The DOJ is preparing a memo recommending that no civil rights charges be filed in response to the shooting death. However, an overall investigation into the Ferguson Police Department’s treatment of minorities remains ongoing.
The New York Times reports:
The state authorities concluded their investigation into Mr. Brown’s death in November and similarly recommended no charges.
There is a high legal bar for bringing federal civil rights charges, and federal investigators had for months signaled that they were unlikely to do so. The Justice Department plans to release a report explaining its decision, though it is not clear when."
