Holder voiced frustration with Missouri governor over Ferguson actions
Attorney General Eric Holder privately criticized Missouri officials for declaring a state of emergency and activating the National Guard before the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown case. A Justice Department official said the move sent the wrong message, while Gov. Nixon’s office would not comment. Senior DOJ officials advised U S attorneys to coordinate with local police for potential violence if no indictment is returned against Ferguson officer Darren Wilson.
