Holder: We Are Investigating Discriminatory Police Practices in Ferguson

‘As a brother of a retired police officer, I know the overwhelming[ly] ... men and women in uniform do their jobs honorably with integrity’

"As the brother of a retired police officer, I know that the overwhelming majority of our brave men and women in uniform do their jobs honorably. They do it with integrity and often at great personal risk. Civil rights divisions efforts are simply meant to ensure that law officers in every part of the United States live up to those same high standards of professionalism. In Ferguson, our investigation will assess the police department’s use of force including deadly force ...  in addition to other potentially discriminatory policing techniques and tactics that have been brought to light."
