I was somewhat encouraged to read the report that seven black people that testified backed the officer’s account.
When the decision is ready, release it, IMHO.
Obola and Holder will make sure the GJ verdict comes out in time to drum up the hate and get out the vote.
Those people remain anonymous. You could have an IMAX movie of the entire incident come out and that still would not satisfy the usual suspects.
Yes and no. They agreed with Wilson that Brown was advancing on him when shot, but they still thought the shooting was wrong and that Brown was an innocent victim. They'll be just as convinced that no indictment is a complete injustice as any other black person.
Obama says that we have to have "a national conversation on race." I say the national conversation we need to be having is on the police, specifically, on whether we want the police to enforce the law or not. I have been driving for literally decades through downtown here, and when I hit downtown, there are all manner of black jaywalkers; as I leave, all manner of white ones. They are all idiots, to my mind, and all breaking the law, but only the white ones seem aware of it.
I've seen two black jaywalkers screaming about someone who kept driving while they were in the walkway, "I'm in the crosswalk; I had the right of way." Another guy, who was crossing in the middle of the street and nearly got creamed, complained the buddy he'd just joined, "I'm a pedestrian, they all should have stopped for me."
One reason a lot of section-eight neighborhood black people believe "the police are out to get me" is that they flat out don't know the law. Or if they know it, they don't think it really counts. My brother loses his driver's license because he was lost all his points doing dumb stuff like driving with only parking lights on, he accepts that. Black guy in this neighborhood loses his license for the same sort of things says he shouldn't have lost his license because he "didn't do anything wrong. I wasn't even drunk!" -- and also blames only the cop who gave out the ticket that cost the last points.
