Perhaps this is out of my lane, but personally I think Holders presence is just government riot-prevention.
When this officer is no billed, Holder will be there to say "charges will be considered for violation of X YZ civil right statue, blah blah etc." Which eliminates the perceived justification for a riot by the masses-especially because Holder is black.

Other local residents — the more cynical and world-weary, both whites and most blacks — would have taken one look at the crowd and driven off, dismissing many of the young and posturing black males as thugs. But not them: innocent white kids from the suburbs. They presumed this was post-racial America — and that they were in an easy-going college town.
Twenty minutes later, two of them were dead...
