U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has asked for the Justice Department to arrange an autopsy on the body of Michael Brown by a federal medical examiner.
Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said in a news release on Sunday that Holder asked for the additional autopsy because of the “extraordinary circumstances involved in this case” and at the request of Brown’s family.
The 18-year-old Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer on Aug. 9. Brown was black and unarmed. Officer Darren Wilson is white.
Fallon says the autopsy will take place as soon as possible.
He also said the Justice Department will still take the state’s autopsy into account during the investigation.

Darin Wilson is not white he’s black
They’ve already cut up the body once or twice for the police autopsy and the family-requested autopsy. The guy has been niftar for over a week. What will another autopsy show?? We know he died from gunshot wounds.
Interesting that when a jewish man, doing nothing more nefarious than walking to shul, is killed by black men, AG Holder is silent. Notice that the Jews do not riot and the city need not be locked down. But where is Holder’s or Obama’s outrage???
