He met with Brown's family. He sent 40 FBI agents to Ferguson to investigate. Do you think that would have happened if Officer Wilson was black and Michael Brown was white? The White House sent representatives to the funeral. Would that have happened if Brown was white? The White House and DOJ totally took sides throughout the thing. The good news is that in the end they were fair. But I think their handling of the whole thing was extremely destructive. They basically encouraged the protesters and acted like people should be protesting the case. In reality there was nothing to protest about in this case. In other cases maybe, but not this case.
