Several Outcomes Possible From Grand Jury, DOJ Investigations in Michael Brown Case
CBS Local ^ | August 21, 2014

Posted on 08/21/2014 11:19:17 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Several scenarios could come from the dual investigations in the Michael Brown case.

CBS News Legal Analyst Jack Ford says the St. Louis County grand jury will consider probable cause, which could result in charges ranging from murder to manslaughter. But it could also decide not to indict. Ford says the Justice Department, however, could consider civil charges, and not just against officer Darren Wilson.

“The Justice Department can also take a look at an entire department and say there are problems here,” he says. “There are infrastructure problems, policy problems, whatever they might find.”

The fix is in.


I doubt it, or at least that it will work. They tried it with Zimmerman. Didn’t work. The internet makes it almost impossible to really control the message. The truth gets out, and the more it diverges from the lies, the more it gets reposted everywhere, especially facebook.

In fact, facebook is one of the new weapons of the truth. The political hacks like me post stuff that the politically ignorant can now easily see. The remarks are often hilarious, but no small number of people are getting educated.

Holder still wants to get whitey back for stopping him and searching his car

What if the grand jury refuses to indict? Holder’s bias will be too obvious to be ignored by anybody but MSNBC.

He won’t be indicted. And if he is he will be found not guilty. Holder’s people will riot and the left will continue to make excuses for them. Al and Jesse will get richer and the poor will go to jail or worse.

Business as usual in obummer’s world.

That’s because Holder is a dirty, evil and incompetent old man

Still, the threat of “being held responsible” for the ensuing riots is pretty strong

This should be a no-bill but it won’t be And then there’s Holder and his gang of thug lawyers

The other thing in the cop’s defense - aside from the broken bones in his face - is the fact that he is a cop. His brothers in blue will do a lot to protect him in ways Zimmerman did not see.

They’ll end up with egg on their faces just like what happened in the zimmerman case. The social media and internet are just too powerful now. Too many people know too much for them to get critical mass with their lies.

He claims. Any proof? Any proof the lyin’ king went to the schools he claims he went to? Where’s his ex-gf or bf whichever? How about that class re-union? The what? These clowns get a pass and just ‘cause they say something....Presto, it’s a fact. What a load of crap. No offense to crap intended. Now the Ferguson PD will be forced to hire people with no clue. Kinda like electing the lyin’ king and his gal pal val. Iran’s favorite daughter.

I wonder how an indictment and conviction would effect Americas police forces? If I were a cop and Wilson was found guilty of anything, I would quit or go on strike.

I hear Eric Holder has called upon Texas DA Rosemary Lehmberg(XXD), special assignment, to convene the grand jury & over see the indictment.

The Federal Justice Department is controlled by hard core communists and has overthrown America rule of law and the Constitution. The Country just has not recognized it yet. We are under a limited dictatorship and the November elections will mean nothing. All agencies, departments, of the Federal Government answers to King Obama and Holder. the communists power broker over the Administration. Many key departments have hard core communists heads. What can we do? Beats the hell out of me unless a civil war and jail time.

I think you are right.

They are really picking the wrong cause here.

You know, this entire rioting thing makes me feel a lot safer about when the economy crashes and SHTF.

Yes, there will be very massive riots, looting, and killing, but the evidence seems to show it will mostly happen only in the dangerous inner city areas anyhow.

Well said on all counts!

Still no word on Holders investigation of Zimmerman. /sarc.

Maybe he concluded that the trial and acquittal were fair.

That seems so clear to me. If they try to charge this cop, tens of thousands of LEO will be outraged. As they should be.

Many of them face life threatening situations frequently. If they see a fellow officer railroaded for protecting himself there will be hell to pay.
