So from what I'm reading the findings of the Grand Jury don't have to be released to the public at all? Everyone will know the verdict obviously because it will go to trial or not, but no information is released unless the witness chooses to talk about their testimony and only their testimony, if they feel like it. So it's possible he won't go to trial and people will hear nothing, depending on what other agencies, Like the DoJ, decide to release of course. Only had a quick read of a long document btw, so I could be wrong.

Keep in mind also that cops tend to only testify when they won't get charged and the prosecutor is making no case at all.

No they won't.

For them to toast, they'd need to think they got away with something.

They just think this is Wednesday.

Veteran defense attorney John Rogers, who is not involved in this case, said Wednesday, “It’s unusual but not unheard of for a prosecutor to extend an invitation” for the target of an investigation to testify to a grand jury. He said he had rarely allowed it.

Witnesses cannot take their attorneys inside the grand jury chamber, although the witnesses may interrupt the proceedings to go outside for a consultation.

“You don’t always want to preview what your defense would be at such an early stage,” Rogers explained. He added, “I would only consider allowing my client to testify at a grand jury proceeding if I was convinced that the prosecutor presenting the evidence to the (grand jury) was convinced that his testimony would help them reach the decision not to indict.”

Also.

McCulloch has pledged to present every witness and every shred of evidence to let the grand jurors independently decide whether to indict Wilson, without the prosecutor making a recommendation.

Hold on, just to be clear...You don't mean every single instance of a police officer ever in the world, right? I can't continue my day unless this is clarified, and that the thread understands what precisely you mean. Just the context of police that are abusing their power nation wide.

Right? Or what?

LMAO

So accurate though

So at this point is it pretty much legal to shoot black people to death in America?

Everyone is getting away with it these days.

Yes, as the Michael Dunn case shows us. You can kill black people and get off but you might be convicted of attempted murder if one of us survives.

The end to that case still makes me mad. The man lied about everything and ordered a fucking pizza afterwards and he still didn't get convicted for the death he caused.
 
Local news sent a text message out basically saying that local police have learned that protesters have obtained Rams tickets and intend to stop the game Sunday.

What a shitty move. Why disrupt a football game that involves no one that can help the Ferguson situation ESPECIALLY after the Rams are letting Ferguson high school students attend the game for free.

I won't feel bad when security roughs them up. No way do they let people near the players.

lmao, oh, okay. you might see it as unnecessary, they might see it as necessary considering ferguson is still happening but the news isn't covering it and people stopped talking about it. either way, basically saying they deserve violence is over the top, though.

So they should let protesters onto the field? Ever hear of Dimebag? Remember that mixed in the peaceful protesters were looters and people acting violently. So much so that even the peaceful protesters had to protect their community from the idiots.

And everyone is still talking about it and it's still in the news. Don't know what you're watching or listening to.

Regardless of if they "should" be allowed on the field or otherwise, considering this hasn't even happened yet and you're okay with the idea of violence on the protestors, it proves that you're a class act.

As if interrupting a fucking football game is something so sacred that they deserve to get beat up. Jesus, what a fucking winner of a post.

Furthermore, what the fuck does the bolded even have to do with anything? If they were successful and they don't hurt anybody, it's nothing more than civil disobedience.
 
Interrupting the game by illegally going on the field is a good way to lose whatever public support the protesters have left. Hopefully they get smarter than that.

Looting, destruction of property and attempts to injure are considered success?

You think the Justice Department don't already know about what that guy posted on twitter? Of course they do. They're gonna do absolutely nothing, just like they did for the Trayvon Martin case. It's a election year. They're not gonna do anything deemed controversial. Cops are getting away with murdering blacks, because they know they can, in this country. It saddens me to say this, but it's the truth.

I'm referring to the "shutting down of the football game".

Additionally:

Oh man. These people sure sound like they deserve violence perpetrated against them!!!1111

And I'll ask again since you ignored it the first time, why exactly do you keep discussing the looting and destruction? What does that have to do with this?

Because he and other racists (yes racists) like to do what is called 'selective observation'. Sociology 101.

They also fail to accept that the looting and destruction in the past only happened for a couple days in the first week. Most people in the community did not condone these actions.
These incidents usually happen in large events. (protests, sports games, etc.)

If interrupting a game can cause people to turn against the protesters, then I doubt they had support from those people to begin with.
 
I can't believe that people are mad about their entertainment being interrupted, promoting trivial vices over justice. But I guess its not new news that entertainment dominates and controls so many lives today.

Disgusting and incredibly sad.
 
I've already gone passed getting stressed out to finding this insanity hilarious.

We have regressed back to witnessing white hats villainy.

I feel really bad for those who have to live there.
 
Am I supposed to be surprised? There's a ton of covert racists/prejudiced in ST. Louis. Some of the shit I heard when going to school in STL county schools pissed me off still today.


Whoever did this is just showcasing what they truly think after hiding it for so long.


Edit: I'm even sick of my own rants on this forum and real life. I really want to go to one of the Ferguson gathering and speak my mind, but I can't bring myself to do it for some reason.
