while you diverted from case to case. They ARE bound to let the local processes proceed when there is no "interstate commerce" involved or when no federal laws are immediately known to have been violated. This is BASIC protocol for Federal intervention or involvement. The facts in this instance are that riots were occurring, the National Guard was called up by the Governor, and that Governor made a formal request for federal intervention:

On Monday morning, Gov. Nixon publicly requested that the federal Department of Justice conduct a comprehensive independent investigation into the shooting. The Governor also spoke on Tuesday night at a community forum held at a church in north St. Louis County, and has been in close contact with community leaders throughout the week.

Suggest you get some Civics training and learn about the role of the federal government. This is sorely lacking on DU.
