The Justice Department is
preparing to bring a lawsuit against Ferguson, Missouri, police over a pattern
of racially discriminatory tactics used by officers, if the department does not
agree to make changes, sources tell CNN's Evan Perez.
The shooting death of Michael
Brown at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson thrust Ferguson into the center of
a nationwide debate over police tactics and race relations. The Justice
Department in the coming weeks is expected to announce it won't charge Wilson
in the shooting, but it is also expected to outline findings that allege a
pattern of discriminatory tactics used by Ferguson police.
