That investigation was a good thing. Definitely not something that could have been performed by the governments of Ferguson, St Louis County, or Missouri. I'm not convinced that FBI is the only federal body that could have performed that investigation, however. Considering FBI's animus for Black Lives Matter [0] (and, frankly, for every civil rights organization in USA history), it's hard to believe that all of them have their hearts in the right place.

- prepend 5y agoWhat other federal body has jurisdiction? The reason the FBI investigated is because the city, county, and state weren’t. No one is claiming that all of the FBI “have their hearts in the right place.” I’m just refuting your statement that the average person in the US would be better off without them.
- jessaustin 5y agoAny other part of the Justice Dept. could have done it. Perhaps the Civil Rights Division? You can't use the current organizational structure to "refute" anything. I'm proposing changes to that structure.
