Justice Dept. pressures Ferguson to ban cops from wearing ‘I am Darren Wilson’ bracelets - BizPac Review

Justice Dept. pressures Ferguson to ban cops from wearing ‘I am Darren Wilson’ bracelets - BizPac Review: The Justice Department is accusing the Ferguson Police Department of “exacerbating an already tense atmosphere” by allowing officers to wear a bracelet in support of fellow Officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August.

The shooting set off weeks of demonstrations and riots in the Missouri town, and tensions are building yet again as federal officials ponder possible civil rights charges against the police department.

The Justice Department sent a letter Friday to Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson after residents complained to federal investigators that officers were wearing bracelets that say, “I am Darren Wilson,” in a show of support for their fellow officer, The New York Times reported.
