Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting

An anonymous reader writes: A grand jury in Missouri has decided there is no probable cause to charge police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. "A grand jury of nine whites and three blacks had been meeting weekly since Aug. 20 to consider evidence. At least nine votes would have been required to indict Wilson. The Justice Department is conducting an investigation into possible civil rights violations that could result in federal charges." Government officials and Brown's family are urging calm in Ferguson after the contentious protests that followed Brown's death.

It's OK to try and harm someone just because they are wearing a badge and talking to you?

Equally disgusting...

Because that's what the physical evidence, and now a grand jury who had ALL the facts, said.

Have you heard a statement from anyone who was on the grand jury? I know I haven't. Just because the grand jury reached a verdict does not mean they endorse the sentence you just wrote. I haven't seen all the evidence that was presented to them, either; I don't know how much you may have seen. We need to close the tabs to the various spin sites we each prefer for the case and wait until we actually hear more from the jury and the lawyers who presented to them. The decision of the grand jury is not the final word in this case, it only means that these charges will not be going any further.

I suspect the KKK is involved in this some how.

I suspect the KKK is involved in this some how. This looks like a Classic 1950s/1960s Rigged Jury situation. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the KKK was not somehow involved. It reads like something you'd hear about 50 years ago.
