HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana family has settled its more than a decade-old lawsuit that alleged racial discrimination tainted an FBI investigation into the 2005 shooting death of a Native American by a white man on the Crow Indian Reservation.
Under the settlement, the family of Steven Bearcrane and their supporters will meet with high-ranking officials from the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI to relay their concerns about unequal treatment of Native Americans on reservations and to push for a third party to reinvestigate the killing. No money was awarded to the family, and both sides will bear their own court costs.
No justice, just the usual and insulting lip service. :/
