Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60, 267]

Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

I noticed two things: just as the proecutor, after having annouced the verdict, began to over the details of what really did happen, BBS cut away. The rest of the stations stayed with the explaintion. And secondly, when el hefe' (Obama) was making his comments, Fox News split the screen with Obama waaay ove onto about a third of the screen on the right and the rest of the feed showing tear gas and other excitement.

As I recall, the Rosenberg trials were nothing, and the country just stayed quiet and ate toast, so this trial media is a brand new thing apparently.
 
The grand jurors for this case's term was actually up in September, but stayed on for the case.

Those 12 folks will be the next to hit the local hate list.

Damn shame.
 
Grand juries are picked for 6-12 months and meet for 2-4 days a month. A 90 day grand jury sounds like a fast track.

So then was it thorough or was it quick? SMTA says it was thorough, you say it was fast tracked, which is it?
 
You just seem to be on the wrong side of this. Don't support the thugs, the people that are there to get theirs, and couldn't give a crap about what happened. Maybe you have more info than the Grand Jury? But I'm doubting that.

All you need to know is on the video. The evidence was clear. The grand juror like many before them simply chose to turn their eyes rather than indict a cop. Sad
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

So you can't show us any examples to prove your claims?

That sword cuts both ways.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

So you won't answer my question as to whether day or night would have been a better time to announce this?
I'll wish you a good evening on that note .

Making the annoucement halfway through the night makes perfect sense. It's dark, cold as ****; the rioters are at a disadvantage.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

They actually should have been shot by civilians. It's legal in most states if a person is committing a violent felony.

Dude, if that starts to happen, it's gonna be a freaking war. Especially since this is all happening under the cover of darkness. I agree with whoever said that making this announcement at 8 PM was incredibly stupid. It is gonna be a looooonnng night in Ferguson...
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

And you know this due to extensive training as a prosecutor?

No one needs to have extensive training to know the difference between night and day.
The extent of this riot is on the prosecutor.

Yet you can see better at night than during the day?
When business-owners could have protected their own property better when?

Just to have an argument in order to defend the prosecutor's piss-poor decision to release this decision late at night .

I didn't claim he had an orbital fracture at any point.

I don't have a problem with making the announcement late, because it's obvious the announcement was made this afternoon. I think holding it off until tomorrow morning like some have suggested took the risk of media breaking the story before the police were ready.
 
Ah, you are right. I'll correct my statement to reflect that: You ever heard of a grand jury taking 100+ days to decide whether a black man should be charged?

And again, is there any difference in the time to charge between white and black police officers. I can easily understand the reluctance to charge police officers. The same applies to judges, bailiffs and marshals. Justice is blind, but she is not deaf and dumb.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Who cares? I don't. I don't live there. If I however lived in Fergusen, I would care.

Obviously you don't care. you don't know how to spell the place. Nice Job! I see what you did there!

Time was irrelevant - the hate would happen regardless of time of day.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Report of people chanting, "We're doing this for Michael Brown". I guess that means he'd approve.

His family sure doesn't.

I wonder how many yahoos commenting have actually served on a Grand Jury. Yes, it is true you can send a case to trial on a ham sandwich meaning if there is anything presented that shows guilt you are obligated to do just that. But it is also true you can't convict a person of wrong doing unless there is solid evidence presented that clears the person of said wrong doing. That's a fact.

I saw that when Fox did it but to be fair, that was only for a couple of seconds and then they went back to the side by side which is what everyone was showing.

I sincerely don't believe the prosecutors somehow wanted this to happen or calculate the timing so that it would. That said, I do agree that making the announcement that there had been a decision then waiting hours to announce it just to really ramp up the tensions.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

Can you see rioters at night better than during the day--yes or no ?

Actually, no. Heat vision rules on that front.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

How do you think Gov. Beshear would have handled this in say Memphis ?

I don't have a problem with making the announcement late, because it's obvious the announcement was made this afternoon. I think holding it off until tomorrow morning like some have suggested took the risk of media breaking the story before the police were ready.

Of course the system is reluctant to charge police officers. They are the one's feeding the industrial prison complex. They are the ones who enforce stop & frisk. The ones who have quotas on speeding tickets. They are the ones who ensure judges and prison guards have jobs. Why would a system be willing to prosecute the people who feed it?

There's no chance in your mind that the cop had justification for the shooting is there?

I have been on GJ 3 times over the years.

Very interesting process.

So people should tolerate their property and possibly their livelihood being destroyed?
