Washington (CNN)The Justice Department is preparing to bring a lawsuit against the Ferguson, Missouri, police department over a pattern of racially discriminatory tactics used by officers, if the police department does not agree to make changes on its own, sources tell CNN.
Attorney General Eric Holder said this week he expects to announce the results of the department's investigation of the shooting death of Michael Brown and a broader probe of the Ferguson Police Department before he leaves office in the coming weeks.

Among the issues expected to be part of the Justice Department's lawsuit are allegations made in a recent lawsuit filed by a group of low-income people who claimed officers in Ferguson and nearby Jennings targeted minorities with minor traffic infractions and then jailed them when they couldn't pay fines.
So although there has not yet been what supporters and the Brown family may feel is justice in the wake of his killing by Officer Darren Wilson so many months ago, and also that the Justice Dept. declined to seek an Civil Right prosecution of Wilson himself, at the very least some of the previous and current discriminatory practices of the Ferguson Police Department may soon be addressed in court and with corrective actions required by a Federal Court Order.
