“The small good news is the FBI has said they’ve concluded their investigation and turned it over to the Department of Justice,” Rep. Don Beyer said at the vigil. But, the congressman from Virginia added, “Our frustration now is we would like justice not to wait months or years to make a determination. Department of Justice lawyers will decide … were Bijan Ghaisar’s civil rights violated and to what extent? In other words, will the Park Police be charged and what will they be charged with? And that’s the kind of conclusion we need.” “We also need to see the investigative report,” Beyer said. “There’s so much now that the family doesn’t know. Why did they pull their weapons? What were they thinking? Why did they shoot?” |
