As civil rights activists call for a full-scale U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the fatal shooting of Emantic Fitzgerald “EJ” Bradford Jr. by a Hoover police officer inside the Riverchase Galleria, federal officials in Birmingham said they have been involved since the beginning.
“This matter has been, and continues to be, under review by various civil rights components within the Department of Justice since these events occurred,” U.S. Attorney Jay Town told AL.com Friday. “The recent release of a 10-week investigation by the State of Alabama is now a part of that review by those components. Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time.”

unfortunately this being reviewed by "civil rights" folks will get it no-where.
I don't think there is any leg to stand on from a "civil rights" standpoint.
EJ had good intentions, but made a poor choice, and got killed for it.
The cops had good intentions, reacted on instinct, and killed an innocent man.
The best case scenario from this is for us to learn what can we change to prevent this from happening again:
people who carry need to realize what they look like in an active-shooter scenario and to either run away from the shooting with their weapon concealed, or hide with their weapon ready to draw, but concealed.
Cops, especially those who work in ALABAMA, need to realize fricking everyone has a gun and exercise more restraint.
I will say this, and this is why this situation pisses me off: If another joe-blow had a gun and made the same mistake the cops did, his arse would be thrown under the prison.
