reporter: wolf the justice department has decided not to bring charges against darren wilson in the shooting of michael brown. the key finding by the justice department is this that there is no evidence upon which prosecutors can rely to disprove darren wilson's stated subjective belief that he feared for his safety. this turned on a couple of key pieces of evidence things really that have been at the center of the dispute over the shooting. whether or not michael brown was the aggressor, whether darren wilson shot and killed him as he was trying to give himself up with his hands up. the justice department decided that they could not disprove that darren wilson feared for his life in a struggle over his gun, as he reported. and also that in the end, michael brown was moving towards the officer. and, again, that is part of one reason why they decided that he had reason to fear for his life. >> in a separate report the justice department described what it said was a pattern and practice of discrimination against african-americans in ferguson. what kind of recommendations did they release to try to correct in?

brown. they concluded under the federal law there is not sufficient evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to conclude that in fact officer darren wilson intentionally violated michael brown's civil rights. however, on the second investigation with regard to the broader policing practices of the police department, there were 35,000 pages of police documents looking into the dad at a regarding searches arresting regarding arrests and use of force they found racial bias. there were routinely stops made that people were stopped without probably suspicion, that they were arrested without probable cause, and there was excessive use of force. we're expecting the attorney general speaking about this in 90 minutes where they'll announce corrective action that will be taken. >> how are these two decisions likely to be interpreted welcome what areinterpreted? what are the reactions likely to be? >> well, i think they'll be mixed. if you live in ferguson, missouri, you will not be happy to know that your police department is engaging in practices that the federal government has now found to be routinely use of excessive use of force excess

darren wilson will not face charges in the shoothing death of michael brown. the department ruling that wilson did nothing to violate civil rights laws. our son's death will not have been in vain. the justice department coming out with more and more detail. these racist e-mails which we're now seeing one after the other are truly stunning. >> reporter: absolutely. attorney general eric holder described this report as quote, seering. you can see a couple of them where they talk about referring to president barack obama as a chimp. another one showing a group of bare breasted women in africa with the caption that read michelle obama's high school graduation. staggering and offensive, to say the least. when you talk to residents here in ferguson they say this report is simply another story of we told you so. this is what we've been saying has been happening here for years. >> oh my. >> reporter: this a pile of frustration for lois and her daughter. stacked inside a file like a memory book of bad dreams. >> i think you can put a dollar amount on the stress that it

like a pro. >>> well seems the case is not closed in the shooting death of michael brown at the hands of officer darren wilson in ferguson, missouri. despite a doj report yesterday that cleared officer wilson of any wrongdoing, brown's family plans on taking this case to the civil level and likely naming officer wilson as one of the defendants. joining us now darrell parks and chuck canterbury. in light of what the doj came out with yesterday and i went through it with the viewers on the air the evidence does not establish for wilson to perceive brown is a threat, no credible evidence to believe wilson acting in self-defense. brown did not sustain gunshot wounds to his back. multiple credible witnesses corroborate virtually every material aspect of wilson's account and are consistent with physical evidence. in light of all that, how can you continue a legal case against officer wilson? >> well megyn, i have to respectfully disagree with your statement how the facts will be interpreted in this case. obviously we have a different standard in a civil case than they would have in a criminal case. we just h

. >> reporter: while theexon department of justice exonerated white police officer darren wilson in brown's death, it issued a follow-up report lastic week that said police harassment in ferguson was routine and included arresting, jailing and even tasering african americans unnecessarily. ferguson's police force is almost all white in a town that is two-thirds black. in addition to finding e-mails on city accounts that depicted president obama as a chimpanzee, the d.o.j. discovered a strategy to boost city revenues through tickets and fines written by a police force that displayed racial bias and stereotyping. since the report came out, the two cops tied to thels racist e-mails have quit. a city judge has left. the city clerk was fired.y and last night city manager jon shaw de-- john shaw departed but insisted quote my office has never instructed the police department to target african-americans. tonight jackson issued a statement saying, "it has been an honor and a privilege tong serve and that he is resigning as chief with profound sadness on march 19th." he said he believes this is the

lot of time in ferguson covering the stories in the aftermath of the shooting death of michael brown by darrenthat are taking place right now, is it sort of like at least some sort of justice that the brown family might feel? we wouldn't know about the racist behavior that's documenteddocument ed in that report if it had not been for that incident. >> yeah. you know wolf that's a tough one. having lost a loved one. i don't know what would make up for that. i think not for the brown family because if we look at what the justice department found, what the grand jury found, they found -- they exxon exonerated darren wilson. they found the hands up don't shoot, evidence shows that didn't happen. so in that case for brown family i don't think that this offers any sort of consolation. for community, for the broader community i think that it does because it's what they have been saying all along. there's a disconnect between -- with the police department and members of the community. members of the community are only interactions with police officers negatively ones when they are coming in as the ove

ferguson erupted in protests becoming violent the sometimes after the shooting of michael brown by darren wilson. three shots were fired north of the police department, the gunman is on the loose and dozens of witnesseses shaken. >> bullets went past my head. it was kind of traumatic i'm still kind of in shock because of it. >> reporter: we're seeing reports there are police and crime scene techs at a house on the hill across the street from the police department. no word on how that home is connected to the shooting. eva pilgrim channel 6 "action news." >> we know you'll keep an eye on it and bring us any new details. >>> new this morning, a fast-moving fire injured a woman overnight. the fire started on the 4300 block of locust street. it spread to the apartments above. a woman suffered smoke, she is in stable condition. smoke and water damaged the laundromat next-door. >>> residents of a southwest philadelphia neighborhood say they are living their lives in fear. last night two bullets hit a church wall at elm wood avenue, another went through a bay window of a row home, inside a 4 and
