Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson Not Indicted
2014-11-25
[StLouisCBS] FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) â The grand jury in the investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown has announced its decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of the unarmed 18-year-old.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch said,"They determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against Officer Wilson, and returned a 'No True Bill' on each of the five indictments."
USA Today adds this brief description of the crowd reaction:
Crowds of protesters filled streets near the Ferguson cop shoppe following the announcement. At least one police car was set on fire. Reporters on the scene said they heard gunshots and saw bricks being thrown, and that police responded with tear gas. Police said they were using smoke bombs and pepper spray.

#22  The closer Emperor Dips*it the First gets to the end of his reign, and the more he is confronted with a Congress that keeps making him veto things he doesn't like but the American people want, the more utterly clear it will be what an inept, immature, vicious and clueless man we elected on a paper thin resume but the promise of a post-racial Messiah. For the people who voted for him, dead, alive, and repeatedly, perhaps Professor Gruber was right about you after all?

#21  Had to quit listening to Emperor BigEars the First after the opening line that went something like this"...we are a nation of laws..." ("Executive Orders to nullify those I don't like are not included, and must be bought separately")

#18  There's a proof of concept done a few years back for the military of retinal id of perps from a distance with telephoto lens and lasers. Seems like it might be more appropriate for ID of perps rioting. Tests at 100 feet worked fine.

#15  Send in the troops, shoot looters, rioters on sight. Anyone found involved in looting or rioting, shoot. Exterminate the vermin.

#10  What is a "community of color"?

And, yeah, evidence I'd they are making things up. They ignore 93% of murders to obsess over the 7% -- if they stopped killing each other, 13 out of 14 murders in "communities of color" would be eliminated.

#9  Champ: ‘Communities Of Color Aren’t Just Making This Up’

The words of a willing provocateur, not peacemaker.

#8  St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch did an excellent job presenting the grand jury decision. Champ fueled the fire by coming on teevee immediately following the announcement and presenting his usual Jeremiah Wright ***dam America slogan.

A 48 hour ban or prohibition on legal assembly and protests might have prevented the carnage, but it was permitted to take place.

#7  IMO, we need a pic of an attacking bear for "hands up, don't shoot."

#6  The black mobs seem to be utterly determined to turn the whole country into one big Detroit.

They best be careful about what they wish for.

#5  Grand Jury testimony from witnesses said Michael Brown charged at the police officer like a football player, head down, drove him into the police car and was going for his service revolver. Now that means nothing to the thugs in the hood.

#1  Jury was 9 whites and 3 blacks (seven men, five women)

President of US = Democrat(and black)
gov of MO = Democrat
county exec = Democrat (and black)
District Attorney = Democrat ( Bob McCulloch) whose father was a police officer who was killed in line of duty when Bob was 12 - already he has been blamed for being too pro police

Mayor of Ferguson = Republican (media hasn't been blaming him vigorously yet, but just wait) today)
