The Texas Department of Public Safety announced Thursday that the FBI had agreed to a joint investigation with the Texas Rangers, the statewide law enforcement agency. In addition, On Friday, the DPS announced that it had “identified violations of the department’s procedures regarding traffic stops and the department’s courtesy policy,” in the case of Bland's arrest.

How could the FBI not have a bead on these guys? I see there is a fund raiser (eridani posted the link) to hire a Private Investigator - but FBI involvement is swift on this one. And TX Rangers didn't agree to anything - that's just the FBI letting them save "face".

So let the apologists and LEO defenders have their fun in GD - the reality is -

Took protests and militarized local LEO to get FBI involvement in Mr. Brown's death.

Took "I will light you up" to get them involved in this one.

I don't know if it will be murder - but Civil Rights violations have occurred. FBI wouldn't be there if there weren't.

Unless we have someone like - I'm going to just say it -

One of the usual suspects at DU (they are a very SMALL minority) who will never ever take the side of a black person.

A soup to nuts live broadcast lynching could be shown around the world and that little crew would come back with -

If they hadn't twitched so much when they hung him he wouldn't have bit his own tongue leading to his death.

I felt like I needed to write that today - because they were really out in full force last night. And they know it's true. I don't know if it is funny or they are just sociopaths - but they've been intruding on the good people of DU long enough.

Let's put it this way - getting rid of Graham4anything was ONLY a good start.

that harm politically unconnected people.

I am more inclined to believe that they can see the groundswell on this one, and realize that their grace period is over.
