It's possible that this is both a political trial and one with enough evidence to proceed. The grand jury is hearing from the prosecution and may have just enough concern of a crime to proceed. If they error on the side of caution, the prosecution will fail and Wilson will be found "not guilty".
That's their problem and they happen to be wrong. We shouldn't cater to people who want to take the law into their own hands. And we can't let these people dictate to us, on what law abiding people can or can't do.
Maybe if Michael Brown wasn't a thug, he would have never ended up dead, face down in the middle of a street.
What a bunch of dumb vets. Just proves that idiots are everywhere. All of them are not in the TROLL PATROL.
Agreed, but that isn't how its going to play out in the real world.
I actually like the thought of Wilson staying a cop. Anyone giving him difficulties should be punished to the FULL extent of the law.
To be an effective police officer, one must be able to peacefully interact with and cooperate with members of the community. Rightly or wrongly, Wilson will only be able to do that in Idaho or Montana.
Why? Are you saying only WHITE people are law abiding?
No, I am saying that "thug magnets" cannot do an effective job of maintaining the peace of the community that they are supposed to serve. There is a lot more to being a cop than shooting or beating up bad guys.
Assign 1 or 2 other officers to patrol with Wilson. Have body cameras on all officers. It would be like catching fish in a barrel.
It's good to see you recognize how much power the prosecutor has in this process. Given his background, surely you understand why people are skeptical about his ability to deliver a fair outcome.
Police: Woman allegedly kills herself with gun bought to prepare for Ferguson unrest
The female victim, identified in a police report as Becca Campbell, 26, was a passenger in a car involved in an auto accident. Her 33-year-old boyfriend was driving, the sources told CNN.
The boyfriend, who wasn't identified, told police that the couple had bought a gun because of fears of unrest related to the pending grand jury decision on the shooting of Michael Brown, the sources said.
He told investigators that as they drove late Friday night, the victim waved a gun, jokingly saying the couple were ready for Ferguson, the sources said.
He ducked to get out of the way of the gun and accidentally rear-ended another car. He said the accident caused the gun to go off and she was struck by a bullet in the head, the sources said.
