Though it has reportedly found no cause for pursuing charges of civil rights violations against Officer Darren Wilson, the Justice Department is preparing to sue the Ferguson Police Department over what it claims is a pattern of “racially discriminatory” practices unless it agrees to implement the Justice Department’s new policies.

CNN reports:

Attorney General Eric Holder said this week he expects to announce the results of the department's investigation of the shooting death of Michael Brown and a broader probe of the Ferguson Police Department before he leaves office in the coming weeks.

Brown's shooting death at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson has thrust Ferguson into the center of a nationwide debate over police tactics and race relations. The Justice Department is expected to announce it won't charge Wilson for the shooting, but it's also expected to outline findings that allege a pattern of discriminatory tactics used by the Ferguson police.

As it has done with several police departments nationwide, the Justice Department is using the lawsuit as a pressure tactic for the implementation of its anti-racial discrimination policies. One of the issues the suit will focus on are allegations that the FPD has targeted low-income people for minor traffic infractions, “and then jailed them when they couldn't pay fines.”

"I think everybody will see when we announce our results that the process that we have engaged in is, as I said back at the time when I went to Ferguson, independent, thorough and based on all the facts," said Holder. "And I am confident that people will be satisfied with the results that will be announced."

Meanwhile, Ferguson Chief of Police Thomas Jackson said so far he’s received “nothing new,” and insisted that the department has “tried to comply” with everything that Holder and his Justice Department have demanded, which he said has been “reasonable” thus far.
