The Justice Department formally closed its investigation of Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson, declining to bring criminal charges for the killing of Michael Brown.
In a report released Wednesday, prosecutors said that "Wilson's actions do not constitute prosecutable violations" of federal civil rights law.
"There is no evidence upon which prosecutors can rely to disprove Wilson's stated subjective belief that he feared for his safety," the Justice Department report said.
Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to address the findings at 3 p.m. EST

D*mn. Didn’t the gentle giant have his hands up?
I thought they’d decided this weeks ago?
That was Zimmerman.
Justice wins against the RACIST Michael Brown.
and you KNOW they tried every which way they could!
In the meantime, Obama thinks it’s important to honor Trevon Martin who was shot while committing a felony but he ignores the killings of innocent Christians by Muslims.
Is it warm enough in Mo. for the riots to begin?
This double jeopardy bull**** pimped by taxpayer subsidized, public servant racists in D.C. has got to stop. A REAL court without an agenda had already found no reason to charge Wilson with anything.
So does this mean he can get his job back?
Darrel W. will still need to either change his name, move out of state or change his profession. He is a marked man in that neighborhood, and has been since last summer.
Good diversionary tactic. The blacks will be even more pissed and are sure to riot, thus moving the 0bama scandal du jour to the 3rd section of the papers.
Or maybe not. It’s freezing there, you know.
Time for Wilson to lawyer up with some tough lawyers to take on the Racists of America, who attacked him from Holder to Obozo to Sharpton to Jack$on to the mediots on ABCNNBCBS and the print mediots.
The white man in charge of the Justice Department is insulting the Black Man in the White House again by not prosecuting the racist Darren Wilson.
(Don’t care that Holder is not white. Why let facts get in the way of a good whine?)
Why, so he can infer guilt even though they found none?
My first thought too RD. And if it is too cold, well, they at least got all they could out of it.
It's not just Darren Wilson, but many former cops this stuff happens to. Even if you're found not guilty of charges or were never indicted in the first place for involvement in a high profile incident, no other law enforcement agency you apply to will risk bringing them on board.
I have a good close friend who was involved in the 1998 Tyisha Miller shooting in Riverside CA when he was a patrol officer for the RPD. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson marched through downtown Riverside and organized a huge protest in the wake of the shooting. He was fired and never worked as a cop again but his attitude about losing his career as a law enforcement officer is now 'Good riddance'. He would have had a big target on his back had he continued on with Riverside Police anyway, so he's fine with it now.
He submitted his application for a few agencies and received some interviews but they always had the 'Okay, we'll call you' attitude. He even got some interview requests from agencies he knew would never hire him on because he suspects that he was being used to train their department background checkers/interviewers in learning to profile 'hidden racists'. He put a stop to that and never took another interview request. It was all racial politics and had nothing to do with the rule of law.
My friend took a big lump sum settlement of back pay and started a new life with it.
“I can’t imagine him working as a law enforcement officer again...”
I can’t imagine him wanting to.
Wilson is now married and his wife is pregnant. Right now he should be getting a job with Cinnabon, maybe in Omaha.
