FERGUSON, the United States Adidas Superstar Foundation Collegiate Marine Blanche Pas Cher , Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Although some 50 protestors remained on West Florissant Avenue amid heavy rain Wednesday night, the situation was eerily calm there as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in St. Louis city.

Holder flew to Missouri Monday morning and met with Missouri Highway State Patrol Captain Ron Johnson. The two men agreed on the importance of ""cooperation and patience"" as the authorities make investigations.


On Wednesday Adidas Superstar Core Noir Foundation Pas Cher , Holder met with Michael Brown' s family privately for 20 minutes, who reportedly asked about the investigative process. Holder promised a ""fair and independent"" federal inquiry.


Spoke of his own experience, Holder said ""I understand that mistrust. I am the attorney general of the United States, but I am also a black man. I can remember being stopped on the New Jersey turnpike on two occasions and accused of speeding.""


""I remember how humiliating that was and how angry I was and the impact it had on me,"" Holder told a pool of reporters.


Also on Wednesday, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch convened a grand jury to hear preliminary evidence in the case.
