FBI Opens Investigation Into St. Louis Shooting
I’m glad the FBI has joined - with them involved everyone has less to worry about over investigator objectivity. With the FBI looking over their shoulder the locals will have to do the right thing, make sure all protocols are followed, etc.
The FBI opened an investigation Monday into the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager whose death stirred a night of unrest in a St. Louis suburb.
Many questions loomed over the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who police said was shot multiple times Saturday after an altercation with an officer in Ferguson.
It was unclear whether Brown or a man he was with was involved in the scuffle, and authorities were vague about what led an officer to open fire.
Dorian Johnson told WALB-TV that he and Brown were walking home from a convenience store when a police officer told them to get out of the street and onto the sidewalk. Johnson said they kept walking, which caused the officer to confront them from his car and again after getting out of his car.
