gutLOL.....70 hours of testimony from 60 witnesses and the prosecutor didn't do his job?!? I know it's really hard to grasp sometimes, but it's not the job of the DA to seek an unjust conviction. They're pissed the prosecutor didn't withhold evidence and testimony - which obviously comes out in a trial - to get an indictment to proceed to a trial he would lose.
A grand jury gets to ask questions and request witnesses and evidence. This is about as unbiased a review and fact finding as you can get. 12 people got to look at everything and anything they wanted for this case, and 9 of them said there wasn't enough to go to trial with. -

100% agree. however it doesn't really matter. if they withheld evidence to get an indictment, they would have complained evidence was withheld. its lose lose when you have trash like Sharpton, Crump etc leading the charge.gut;1678680 wrote:LOL.....70 hours of testimony from 60 witnesses and the prosecutor didn't do his job?!?

I almost wish Officer Wilson would have answered the question about if he would have done anything different by saying "That's really a question for Michael Brown and if he thinks he should have obeyed my commands and not attacked me"..... -

BR1986FBI'm still waiting for the protests over the white Akron cop who got shot recently by a black guy over a gun struggle and the Cleveland shop owner who hired the troubled black youth to "give him a chance".....that youth, in turn, brought his three thug friends into the shop to kill the store owner, I guess to show him "thanks." Wonder why no outrage or protests? Where's Jesse? Al, are you there?

I hope Darren Wilson plans to sue the NYT for publishing his address. -
QuakerOatsI just heard an MSNBC commentator say the following:
"Had he, Michael Brown, not committed multiple criminal offenses that day (drug abuse, robbery, intimidation, assault, theft, disobeying civil authority, assault of a police officer, attempted murder) he would still be alive today. This entire charade is solely the fault of the deceased."
Obviously I am just kidding, no one from that Marxist network would ever speak such a truth. -

I saw the pictures of the officer, who was supposed to have been beaten badly in the scuffle. Not a mark on him. This story is not ringing true and the grand jury process doesn't give it much credibility. -

Multiple witnesses, including 3 blacks, said Brown was charging Wilson; that should be about all you need to know. -

"The other thing that doesn't make sense is the lack of transparency. When you know you only need 9 of 12 votes to have a no indictment done, and 9 of those people are white and 3 of those people are black, and then we don't know how the vote went down...and you're telling me with the lack of transparency that the people in Ferguson are just supposed to buy that all the forensic evidence that the Darren Wilson had 6 weeks to analyze himself to make sure his story was correct before he got in front of the grand jury...you expect these people to just go along to get along. That's why they are angry. So much of this story doesn't make sense to the black people of this community."
Some "analyst" on CNN just said that when they brought him on and a law enforcement expert to discuss Darren Wilson's account of what happened.
That's just fucking awful. This dude literally just implied that Darren Wilson examined forensic evidence for 6 weeks and then crafted a story based on that. But what nobody called him out on...was that he's implying that Darren Wilson's account IS BASED ON FUCKING FORENSIC EVIDENCE! So yes, I do expect people to buy it.
Did he probably over-inflate some things? Ya. I'm sure it didn't really feel like a 5 year old holding on to Hulk Hogan. But I'm inclined to believe a majority of the story because the other accounts make no sense when you think about law enforcement training. Why would he pull the suspect in through the front window of his car?
The only legit complaint I can see is that once Brown started running away, and Wilson was chasing, why keep firing? Why not go to the taser at that point? The immediate threat of him hitting you is gone. So I would think that you could then resort to non-lethal force to subdue the suspect.
But then again, I've never been through law enforcement training. So I don't know the protocol. Which is why I'm not flipping my shit about this whole thing. -

Beaten badly? Apparently the officer must now be beaten bad enough before he can use his weapon. The logic is strong.

That was the Brown family's lawyer defense regarding the robbery crime MB committed right before this incident. He didn't lay a whooping on the store owner, only shoved him down so that makes his robbery less off than it is made out to be. Oh okay... :huh:sleeper;1678751 wrote:Beaten badly?

And sherm from a few posts up. Wilson said he did not have a taser on him at that time. -

Liberals mad that Darren Wilson did what EVERY defendant does. They act like Wilson can be compelled to testify whenever the DA chooses, while at the same time acting like he didn't have the right to testify at grand jury and the DA threw the indictment by allowing it.sherm03;1678747 wrote:...are just supposed to buy that all the forensic evidence that the Darren Wilson had 6 weeks to analyze himself to make sure his story was correct
The great failing of the internet is it allows stupid people to congregate with like minded idiots for the purpose of confirming their delusions. -

Ahh...that makes sense then. See...I do not have all of the facts, which I'm sure is the same as 99% of the people protesting/rioting/looting. And it's mind boggling to me that people will go to the lengths that they are going to without having all of the facts.mucalum49;1678754 wrote: And sherm from a few posts up.
