Reports: Ferguson grand jury has made decision

Not irrelevant at all. You would see that the standard of proof that most judges employ.

Its not relevant to the GJs decision to not indict THIS Police Officer.

You have access to some of the evidence they had access too. If you were this Prosecutor would you have skipped the GJ process and taken it to a Judge ?

GJs can indict with much less than it would take to get a conviction in a court of law.
 
The part where you get what happened wrong even when the evidence is available to you and contradicts everything you say.

No, it does not. He was shot at many times and was hit with six bullets to the chest and head. The cops story was not the same as other witnesses. This should have rendered a cross examination in a court of law. IMO, justice was not served.

Not talking about getting a "conviction".

It would have NEVER made it to a court of law.

Thats the whole point of taking it to a GJ which the Prosecutor DIDN'T have to do.

The question remains

Put yourself in the shoes of the Prosecutor.

Would you have skipped the GJ process and taken it straight to a pre trial hearing ?
 
When physical evidence is presented in a court case, you can have several different experts have different opinions about physical evidence and it's interpretations.


3 different autopsies by three different parties INCLUDING the FEDs and they all came to the same conclusion.

That multiple witnesses perjured themselves.

How do you cross examine that ?

Michale Browns bood found IN THE Patrol car.

How do you cross examine that ?

Really, mind telling us this conclusion?
 
Tell you what. Prove that race is what keeps someone down.

That's a stupid request. One need not prove that racism is what held an individual down in order to see clearly the systemic privilege that still exists in the US.

What do you want, examples of the victims of racism? Want an example of someone being killed because they were black?

The ones doing it. Same as anyone with critical thinking skills would.

So you don't blame Sharpton, the Dems, Progressives or "black culture"?

That's good to hear.

I don't blame them. I also don't blame the cops, the governor, the Grand Jury, Darren Wilson, slave owners in the 1860s, and "white privilege" either. I blame the pieces of **** who are rioting and looting under the guise of a "protest". They're as rancid as the white kids who rioted last month in Keene, NH, but at least those stupid kids admitted they did it for no reason other than being drunk and obnoxious. They weren't pretending that it was anything other than the piss poor behavior of a bunch of losers.

Yeah, those white rioters are so righteous for lacking social perspective.

Sure thing - happy to do it. Could you first provide for me or anyone else a solid methodology we can apply which can isolate one factor such as race from all the other factors in a persons life that might contribute to their downfall?

I will wait.
 
No, they just take ownership of their malfeasance and don't try to blame everyone else for it.

I'm not blaming anyone else. I'm just considering sociological factors. Of course, racists hate that because it removes their ability to claim blacks as a whole are stupid and lazy.

Keep cheerleading the white rioters.

White rioters are righteous and smart! Unlike those black ones!

So in your world everybody starts out even from the same spot on the game board with the same resources and all playing by the same rules getting $250 at each time around?

A troll post from you, eco? Color me shocked.

I'm curious who is "cheerleading" white rioters. You? You like rioters? Normal people don't like them, especially the ones who riot in nice little town close by to where we live.

As far as who you're blaming, I don't recall asking you who you were blaming for the riots in Ferguson, mostly because I don't care. The rioters own their actions - and by the way, your racist assumption that the rioters in Ferguson are all black is noted. I've seen a lot of video coming in from there. There are a whole lot of white people rioting in Ferguson right along with the blacks. I noticed them. You obviously missed them.

No, someone else obviously placed lit rags and gasoline and bricks in the hands of the looters. They got something that most of us don't get apparently.
