All he has to say is that the department of Justice is looking into it, or the State is investigating and leave it at that.

Same if Bush as President gets involve in a church or state dispute.
I don't think he should have said anything besides that the death was a tragedy, however I also don't really see anything wrong with what he said. He isn't influencing any investigation. He's merely pointing out the obvious that young black men are stereotyped as criminals often in the US today.
