Ferguson grand jury decision expected today

Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- A decision is expected Monday from the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, that is weighing evidence in the Michael Brown shooting, U.S. and local law enforcement officials told CNN.

The announcement will come from the St Louis County Prosecutor, the sources said.

The sources did not know what decision will be announced.

The city has been on edge in anticipation of a decision. Some businesses have been boarded up, and activists are prepared to protest.

2. I think the networks were disappointed last Friday

They were hoping for a whole new round of violence to discuss on Sunday.

[George II]

8. I'm sure you know that for a fact, rather than hateful speculation???

[liberal N proud]

21. Since I prefaced it with "I think" it obviously was not based in fact rather observation

All weekend the hype was that is what they all wanted to talk about. And then the pudding, they talked about it! They just didn't have the verdict and hoped for violence to discuss and hype their propaganda further.

I am sure you never observe and make estimations.

[George II]

25. The second sentence was what I was referring to.

3. classes cancelled

A friend of mine who's a professor at SLU told me that many faculty have cancelled classes for tomorrow and a lot of students have already left for Thanksgiving. SLU is at least 5 miles, maybe more from Fergusson.

4. Does anyone have links

for live streaming ???

I searched but could not find anything live, only recordings.

Thanks in advance.

[George II]

5. I'm sure all the cable networks will cover it.

[SamKnause]

6. I'm aware.

I wanted to watch the live stream coverage.

[KingCharlemagne]

7. I checked both livestream and ustream and it doesn't appear as

if anyone is streaming live right now.

[C Moon]

10. This is one I had been watching...

I am Mike Brown Live from Ferguson, MO

Not always streaming (as it doesn't appear to be now), but it's a good one.

41. Bloomberg TV livestream (and apps) are the best news source I've seen for cord-cutters.(nt)

11. Just on time for us to find out Wednesday night

Which I have said for two weeks. They still promised the 48 hours notice to the city.

[George II]

15. Today is Monday, and the word is that it will be announced at either 4PM or 7PM...

....where does Wednesday night fall into this?

[lunasun]

24. Weds is snow and rainy night in MO and many elsewhere running around for Thanksgiving

will they keep to the 48?
Perhaps only will announce that a decision as been made then?

[Jon Ace]

12. I doubt there will be an indictment

Too much reasonable doubt surrounding the case IMO.

[KingCharlemagne]

14. Sigh. The Grand Jury does not have to meet the threshhold of

'reasonable doubt'; the GJ need only satisfy the demands of 'probable cause.'

If there is an indictment, the prosecution must prove its case to a trial jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

[BronxBoy]

18. Yes....

and the fact that police officers are NEVER indicted in questionable shootings of people of color.

The smart gamblers know the deal.....If you are going to bet on whether an officer gets indicted for a questionable shooting of an unarmed person of color.....Bet on the house and against Black...You have a 95% shot at winning.

[WinkyDink]

29. "Reasonable doubt" calls for a TRIAL.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. CNN.com says decision has been reached.

[heaven05]

16. there will be

NO INDICTMENT. How do I know? I know amerikkka, especially in 2014.......just like1865 till 1920-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-00. 150 years and still fighting the civil war and for human, civil and voting rights. Democracy? Right.....

[BronxBoy]

19. I've made my peace with the coming decision...

We seen this dog and pony show too many times over the last 400 years not to know the outcome.

[logosoco]

22. I'm still slapping the cynic in my head!

I don't know if I can come to peace. No justice, no peace!

I am going to be hopeful, even if I have to lie to myself, until I hear the words.

After that, I don't know.

Lots of frustration with the system and anger that the tides could have changed, but for some stupid people at the top.


Today I have been reminding myself that the country is full of people that believed the lies from bush, and hoping people have gotten smarter since then!

[heaven05]

30. nope

[840high]

34. Please find

peace. Anger will eat you up.

[logosoco]

35. Rigth now not anger as much as despair! nt

[840high]

39. I understand. Hugs.

[Sherman A1]

17. CNN?

hardly a reliable source.

[George II]

32. Maybe we can get Snowden to come out of hiding.....

...and have he and Greenwald do a team report? Seems to be the only "journalists" that any one around here trusts.

[Sherman A1]

36. Perhaps

I checked the local news sources which seem to be starting coverage at 4pm Central time at least in one case. Watched MSNBC and it was nothing more than hyperventilation. Nothing on the school district page as of yet other than a generic letter of preparation, however the buses are bring the kids home as is usual today just had one roll down the street about 15 minutes ago.

I do understand that Clayton School District has cancelled for Tuesday.

[benld74]

20. More news for the masses to consume,,,,,,,,,,

I wonder what the over/under on number of days it would take is in Vegas? when this all began????

[Robbins]

23. And inless i am wrong

They will announce no indictment and Wilson will be totaly off the hook.

[George II]

26. Even if there is no indictment he's far from off the hook

[SoCalMusicLover]

33. Yeah, Right

Nothing will happen to him. He'll go somewhere else and join another police force once this has quieted down.

Plus he's negotiating his "resignation." For the good of the department, don't ya know. That could keep him comfortable for some time to come.

Nothing changes.

[George II]

38. I guess you never heard of all the Federal Civil Rights Act indictments, convictions, and....

....imprisonments.

[SoCalMusicLover]

40. Again....Yeah, Right

There won't be any civil rights indictment.

Neither will there be one for George Zimmerman.

That's just pomp & circumstance to appease the sheepies.

I especially love how Eric Holder said he was committed to an investigation on Ferguson, and then he announced his resignation a few days later. It won't be his problem when they eventually say there is nothing to charge Wilson with.

A Federal charge is more difficult to impose than a GJ indictment. They have to prove he was racially motivated, which is extremely difficult, unless the guy is an avowed racist, which has never been maintained.

[WinkyDink]

28. Well, yes, the alternative would perforce be that you are wrong.

[WinkyDink]

27. I liked the one interviewee who said the POLICE ought to be advised to remain peaceful and calm.

[Louisiana1976]

31. I think that interviewee was very wise.

[olddots]

37. media mantra

If it bleeds it leads. The media will make huge bucks if things get ugly .The revolution WILL be televised and the ratings/ad revenue will be staggering .
