Popular Post NeverSure Posted November 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2014 Let's please remember that this grand jury is the only group to see and hear all of the evidence, to see all of the tapes, to compare witness statements to physical evidence and so on. For instance early someone said Brown was shot in the back. When the films showed that not to be true, that testimony was withdrawn. The physical evidence shows that there was a foot chase where Brown stopped and turned and came back toward the officer. That's when he was shot. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ulysses G. Posted November 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2014 Officer Wilson will not be indicted after a careful examination of all the evidence. Justice has been served. However, what comes next with Al Sharpton and the other racial agitators? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loptr Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Michael Brown protests are scheduled for 83 cities in the US... There are those that are hell-bent on creating racial division in the US, the more violent the better... They foster it, feed it and hope it takes hold like some kind of Arab Spring movement... TPTB didn't get their way with the Trayvon Martin case, so they move on to Michael Brown... If they don't succeed here, next it will be an unarmed, illegal, pregnant latina that gets shot down in the street... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept hoping after he made a complete fool of himself over the Tawana Brawley case, he would have faded away as a race baiting moron. Yet he is still around. Sigh......... Hard to even imagine him advising the President. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CMNightRider Posted November 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2014 The decision to clear Officer Wilson of any wrong doing was certainly predictable.

It would seem that he is not a murderer! Which is good! Now the officer hasn't been indicted have they released all the evidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
