In reply to the discussion: Shocking mistake in Darren Wilson grand jury [View all]calimary
(89,797 posts)They were determined, from the get-go, to protect this cop and make sure he was untouched. From the very moment they decided to leave Michael Brown's body unattended, and did NOT compel Darren Wilson to write up a report immediately thereafter, as soon as he got back to the police precinct. AS SOON AS. Like what's supposed to happen after any shooting incident involving the police. But they let him stroll. And let him look at all the evidence and eye-witness accounts and EVERYTHING - BEFORE he had to make or present or write any statements. NO WONDER he slid through this. He was allowed to tailor his statements and any testimony after seeing everything the eyewitnesses reported, so he could counter it and then keep his story straight. THAT is what burns me up!!!
This was rigged. From the beginning. THIS WAS COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY RIGGED! They knew exactly what to do to slide this guy through safely. He had cover from the very beginning, and frankly, his defenders weren't interested in what the other side might be. THEY were already jury, judge, and executioner. They "settled" this case before it even got off the ground.
I wish there was a do-over with that grand jury, now that it's been shown to be so horribly compromised and the results completely bogus, fraudulent, and not credible.
