 FERGUSON, MO — The feds are moving forward with a civil rights probe into the death of Michael Brown.  The police department in Ferguson, Missouri has been under fire since a white officer shot the unarmed black teen last month.

Attorney General Eric Holder says the Justice Department will look into the police department’s daily operations.  That includes use of deadly force, stops, searches and arrests.

“It’s a long-term strategy, founded on community policing that will provide a really detailed road map to build trust, to bolster public safety, to ensure accountability,” said Holder.

A grand jury is looking into whether the officer who killed Brown should face charges.
