The US Justice Department has reportedly discovered evidence of racial bias against Ferguson police in Missouri following a civil rights investigation into the killing of an 18-year-old, black unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, by a white police officer.
The agency is expected to accuse the department of conducting stops without reasonable suspicion and making arrests without probable cause, reported the BBC.
An official announcement on the issue is expected on Wednesday.
A report said that while African Americans comprised 67 percent of the population in Ferguson, they accounted for 93 percent of arrests between 2012 and 2014.
The news comes a month after an Indian-American businessman, Amit Patel, was shot and killed in the U.S. by an unidentified assailant in his family-owned liquor store and a 59-year-old Indian man was left paralysed after being forced to the ground by a cop in Alabama.
