Do you think they grand jury has come to a decision and they are holding back to prepare for the reaction?
 
A few bad apples. I dont think "its gonna explode!!!". There will be a few bad apples like always.
 
This is a terrible thread. The poll has answers but lacks a question - trust me when I say the the name of a city coupled with grand jury decision (going either way?) is not a question. The OP then asks an entirely different question which does not align with the poll's allowed answers.

Their are violent morons in Ferguson, MO who will riot if the police officer that shot and killed Brown is not convicted. Whether the GJ or a later court trial reaches the insufficient evidence/not guilty decision makes no difference.

As for "readiness", I doubt that any level of police presence will stop the rioting; that requires police ACTION not just a police presence. One must remember that Brown was not stopped by police presence he was stopped by police action - it was police presence that seemed to have set Brown off in the first place.

So its all the police's fault? Terrible post.

I am not sure how you perceived that to be my position. My point is that those prone to break the law by rioting, using the action of police as an excuse, will not be stopped by police presence they may only be stopped by use of force.

No, I don't think they reached a decision yet, but yes, they are preparing for one, and I don't think that's a bad idea.
 
The problem is regardless of how the decision turns out!

you have a hate crime that took place so nobody wins
unless these cops who did this? are sentenced to death
for their crimes I expect a full onset riot to take place
either way

You figure that the cops (multiple) should be sentenced to death even though evidence hasn't been formally or fully presented? You figure that simple suspicion is enough to warrant that option?

Groovy:roll:

Was the hate crime when Michael Brown attacked the White Police Man?

wow

a hate crime, huh?

coudnt have been a police officer discharging his duty in the line of duty?

i bet officer wilson is glad you arent on the grand jury.....seems like your mind is made up without even hearing the evidence
 
Your poll is lacking, so I didn't vote.

I think there will be small scale rioting in the North St. Louis area. Many a few burned buildings, overturned cars, a few deaths and a couple dozen injuries.

However, if Black Supremacists such as President Obama and Eric Holder further fan the fires of racism---then it could spread beyond Ferguson.
 
People who are butthurt about the possibility of a few blacks rioting more than they are about probability of an entire race of people being systematically disenfranchised have their priorities--and their targets of anger--seriously out-of-whack.

Who knows...but the parents (who Michael Brown didn't even live with...he lived with grandma-ma) traveled all the way to Switzerland to tell their sad story of the police brutality in Ferguson, Missouri to the United Nations committee on TORTURE. I didn't know he was tortured...according to witnesses out on the street he was carrying a sign that said "HANDS UP-DON'T SHOOT". Little Michael's mommy is also the one that with 'friend', attacked some other people including Grandma-ma because Grandma-ma was trying to sell T-shirts in the neighborhood where little Mikey was shot.

His parents are trying like hell to sue somebody for a VERY large amount of money. You know, because little Mikey even resorted to stealing his cigarillos from the little old Asian guy down on the corner.;)

I've lived in the St. Louis vicinity for 63 years and I can truthfully say, I NEVER heard of ANY complaints about the Ferguson, MO police. EVER.

The problem with this statement is that to my knowledge, the grand jury will in part be determining whether a crime took place at all, let alone a hate crime.

It thus is illogical to say that riots will occur because a hate crime took place, when it has not yet been determined whether one did.



Granted that doesn't mean a damn thing to the people who might be inclined to riot - as they view it, a crime DID occur, and if the mfer who did it isn't punished they are going to ****ing riot.

Which is not much less than a lynch mob, in it's way....
 
I am sick of hearing/reading about Ferguson, Mo.

One very sad incident and people seem to be milking it for their own agendas.

I say let the courts handle it.
 
Yes they are waiting, the handful of businesses left in Ferguson will be looted and/or burned to the ground. And when they run out of places they will move onto other close by areas looking to do the same.

... because nothing says you care more about a social matter than burning a store down in protest. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will be on hand to add plenty of fuel to the fire just waiting to be lit once the Grand Jury comes back with no charges.

It was just in the news this week that the coroner was testifying before the Grand Jury. So, no, I don't think they're done. I do think they won't indict Officer Wilson and I do think the place will erupt. The protesters are already "training" (Lisa Fithian -- you might remember her from the Occupy rallies) will be part of it. The vast majority of the troublemakers won't even be from Ferguson.
 
wow

prove he had a weapon and prove he was actually pointing it at the officer which gave him justification to fire upon him
 
I don't think the grand jury is just sitting there playing on their phones waiting for the government to tell them it's okay to give their decision.

I do think the local government probably is happy that the grand jury process is taking so long, and they do probably want it to take a long time. They are still presenting evidence to be weighed, and they are presenting everything to see if charges should even be filed against the officer... but then, that's as it should be.

I do think the local government probably is happy that the grand jury process is not open to the public, so it got them out of the news every day.


Until we get the evidence presented as a matter of public record, there will be no way to discern if the grand jury made the correct decision in pressing charges or not pressing charges.
 
Not much for poll options here. The place isnt going to explode, and all parties are not going to be happy. Two extremes are not the only real options there if they are withholding a verdict.

Those are you options, and to be honest that is all that is going to happen. Either complete calm or violence.
 
Two fists, enormous size. Those are weapons.

Let's entertain that for a second

taser's, pepper spray and police baton's easily subdue a suspect combating the police
who happen to resist arrest or detainment

Now my question is what justified the officer in stopping this kid in the first place?
if it was to harass!!! then the officer or officers need to lose their jobs, if the situation
was? cause they spotted him in the commission of a crime or in the process of fleeing
from a committed crime

then the officer/officers are justified to pursue the suspect and bring him to detainment

scenario 2 - the only time law enforcement is allowed to use lethal force? is when the
suspect has removed the service revolver of the officer, and has attempted to flee or is
the process of using his/her own weapon against law enforcement

if this kid was unarmed and he was shot the officer is guilty of crime plan and simple

Oh lord. When you come in here late to the game, of course you're going to have lots of questions and be full to the brim with what you think are new and significant points. Here's a tip: you've brought nothing new to the table except to parrot long answered and thoroughly debated questions.

The forum has a search function. Try using it and read up. Educate yourself first.
