I can't imagine the grand jury had a better grasp of the facts than your random Twitter user.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

Two thirds of Ferguson's residents are African American. Not to treat them as a single monolithic block but aren't there enough votes around to clean house at city hall?

That's easy to say right after they announce no indictment. I haven't been following the thread that closely, but were you saying that straight through?

Do you think Wilson committed a crime?

Burn, baby burn. Disco inferno!

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

I bet a lot of people would have an easier time accepting this decision if this prosecutor didn't look like he wants to smile at the result. Gross.

 

Re: Ferguson Decision -- No Indictment

That's BS. Cops get charged with crimes on a regular basis across the country. Does it create an awkward relationship between prosecutors and police when it happens? Yes. But prosecutors - at least the good ones - are interested in the truth. From everything I've read or seen about this case, and I certainly didn't see as much the grand jury, the question of whether or not the officer's actions were unjustified was going to be very close.
