The Justice Department will conclude that there is a “pattern of police bias and excessive force” at the Ferguson, Missouri, police department, but is unlikely to directly charge former Officer Darren Wilson in the death of teenager Michael Brown, several news outlets reported Tuesday.
The full report is expected to be released this week, possibly as soon as Wednesday. The department has been investigating Ferguson law enforcement agencies following the August death of Brown during an altercation with Mr. Wilson.
