. >> also as seen through officer wilson's eyes, late today, president obama announced that attorney general eric holder will come here on wednesday, he called for justice and for peace. >> well, i understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of michael brown. giving into that anger by looting or carrying guns and even attacking the police only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos. it undermines rather than advancing justice. let me also be clear that our constitutional rights to speak 23r50e8, to assemble and report in the press must be vigilantly safeguarded. especially in moments like these. there's no excuse for excessive force by police or any action that denies people the right to protest peacefully. >> mr. obama was equally balanced on the specific question of racing too many young african-american are wrong ly accused. this comes from a woman calling herself josie who phoned into a local radio talk show, claiming to know officer wilson's side of the story. what she said matches what the officer told police. here's what she told a local station. >> he said that they w

eric holder has come in very swiftly on this case. in some ways appears to be locked in an unsteady competition with missouri officials over which if either will prosecute darren wilsonirst. this is very unusual for the federal government to be -- the federal autopsy has already been released. eric holder is in the region. this seems to be not just about ferguson, but about civil rights in america and eric holder's broader sort of agenda as attorney general. >> it should be america's agenda to preserve and protect the civil rights of people. you've got to remember that there's no question michael brown had the civil right to not expect to be killed or shot multiple times. there's no dispute about that by police when he was unarmed and there was no life extenuating circumstance here. we're debating on whether he moved forward or not and most eyewitnesses say it didn't happen. but are we serious here? he never had a weapon. there was no life extenuating circumstances that anyone can figure out that required six bullets. so you at least need to have this brought before a court of law because there's probable cause. you must also remember and i heard this over and over a
