Justice Department releases Ferguson report
美国司法部发布弗格森报告
The U.S. Justice Department released a report Wednesday about the police department in the U.S. city of Ferguson, Missouri.
美国司法部周三发布了一份有关美国密苏里州弗格森市警察部门的报告。
The report is the result of a six-month investigation. Officials launched it after the shooting death August 9 of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer. He has since resigned.
该报告是一项为期六个月调查的最终结果。在去年8月9日一位手无寸铁的黑人少年被白人警官枪杀后,有关官员发起了这一调查。该名警官现已辞职。
The Justice Department says it will not bring civil rights charges against the former officer. But it says investigators found that Ferguson police often violated the constitutional rights of black citizens. The report says officers used excessive force against them and made arrests without probable cause.
司法部表示不会对这位前任警官发起民事权利诉讼。但它表示,调查人员发现弗格森警察经常侵犯黑人公民的宪法权利。该报告表示,警官对他们过度使用暴力,并且在没有相当证据时逮捕他们。
