FBI opens investigation into shooting of Michael Brown

The FBI has opened an investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old killed in suburban St. Louis over the weekend.

Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed in Ferguson, a small city outside St. Louis, on Saturday afternoon. His death prompted a series of protests and vigils, with some protests taking a violent turn on Sunday night as people looted in the Ferguson area.

“We have initiated a civil rights investigation,” Cheryl Mimura, spokeswoman for the FBI in St. Louis, told The Washington Post on Monday morning.

  1. Does any sane and virtuous person trust the FBI?
    By the way, don't forget that for ages the head of the FBI was a racist and fascist queer.

  2. Would that be same "FBI" that executed Ibragim Todashev? Would that be the same "FBI" that claims that Bruce Ivins was the so-called anthrax killer? If so then, no; no reasonable person would trust the FBI.
