Bottom line, the police riots going on nightly are sending the signal, Wilson will never be charged.

Wilson will not only never be charged, he will eventually be put back on the streets to take vengeance on the commmnity that demanded the murderer be brought to justice.

Are we now hearing

http://aattp.org/

if you go look for the report, that Brown's incident at the store wasn't even reported by the store.

and the police didnt even look at the tape until AFTER Brown was dead...

I am listening to Ari Rabin-Havt show "The Agenda" on Sirius and the rightwingers are calling in that Brown did deserve to die for nothing

Do you have a direct link where the Store Clerk/Owner of the convenience store did not report the 'alleged theft' to the police?

That's a whole new ball game right there.

That means he was never a suspect for anything other than walking while black and being close to his friends home.

Now - I'd also love to hear that store clerk's story. I gotta feeling - it's not what the Thug Chief put out last Friday at all . . .

call the cops?

If so, then EVERYTHING has changed, hasn't it!

Lets work on this today, I feel like I am not helping by sitting here, that I should be in Ferguson or LA where another Black human being was gunned down for no reason, but I am not.



*Notice how these racist, vile cops have CHANGED the discussion from the slaughtering of this young Man to whether or not he stole $5 worth of cigars? How we have to spend all our time investigating and talking about at best a possible petty theft, god damn enraging.

That should enrage every person reading this...

The crowds exercised great control not rushing the line of riot cops. I don't see this happening for many more nights in their neighborhood.

That's very clear at this point. The DA is acting as Wilson's defense counsel, while the Ferguson PD and St. Louis County PD act as his Public Relations team.

It's a fucking disgrace.

And I think you're right: they keep ramping up the police violence because they know that they'll announce that the grand jury wouldn't indict and that they'll need a greater show of force then as well. This is all part of the act to make the community seem criminal for when they really let these racist dogs off the leash after that announcement.

It depends on what the grand jury comes back with.

TPM is more pessimistic. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/ferguson-police-officer-shootings-indictments-convictions

So then I'm right about being wrong.

the prosecutor would have to screw up pretty significantly to fail a grand jury indictment with this much hard evidence. of course it depends on how much the DA wants to jump in bed with the FPD, but there could be ... repercussions ... if this thing doesn't at least result in a charge.

what kind of charge is another matter entirely, but in the end it doesn't matter because cops appear to be very difficult to convict.

get a proper verdict.

Problem with that is our history of severe racism where the white officials ALWAYS get the white killer off or the non Black killer off and always cops getting off is making the need for the usual time frames to be followed difficult.

A major reason for that is we KNOW the Ferguson officials are fixing evidence, lying, creating behind the scenes a way to get him off.

The Feds need to have already gone in and taken over everything including and especially the evidence, by now those teaparty racist cops and probably DA office have fixed the evidence for their guy...

Justice won't be served, but the talking heads will all declare that Brown was responsible for his own murder.

End of story, nothing changes, except people realize that they really have zero voice.

And people wonder why there is anger.
