Feds Will Not Charge Darren Wilson With Civil Rights Violations

I knew they wouldn’t charge him, and I said so at the time. It was all talk to pacify the people who were angry about the verdict. I knew they wouldn’t because they had no case and because it would have been seen as a nakedly political prosecution and Wilson’s supporters as well as fair-minded people in general would have reacted very negatively to it. I also said at the time that federal charges wouldn’t be brought against Zimmerman for the same reasons.
