A grand jury has reached a decision on whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson, Mo. police officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager sparked days of turbulent protests, sources close to the process said.

Sources said that press conferences are being prepared by the county prosecutors’ office and the Missouri governor. Those press conferences will likely come later today.

CNN: "Brown's parents shocked and offended that they weren't given advance notice about the announcement"

Guess they better run back to the U.N. then, huh?

And ruin all the pre-black Friday 100% off sales. How dare they. /s

Curious...CBS Radio still not reporting this development...

[dragnet2]

There are now two breaking news threads...

Oh yeah...

[SoFloFreeper]

LOL. That would be hilarious.

Those heavy coats might slow down a scatter shot from a shotgun, but I guarantee they won’t stick around to get shot again.
It hurts.

[forgotten man]

LMAO. Go sit in the corner. You are a bad, bad boy.

Political outrage? Ain't nobody got time for that!

It's not about political outrage. It's about the feral thuggery element giving itself an excuse to exercise their right to loot. If you could look into the heart of these animals, you'd see they don't give a flip about Brown. It's about the free stuff. It will get ugly.

I hope it’s a no-bill, but I fear manslaughter in an attempt to quiet the mobs.

This whole situation is a combination of John Grisham novels. A Time to Kill (the race riots) and The Runaway Jury (for the pressure that’s probably being exerted on them).

Nothing good will come of this no matter the result.

FOX just said it would be announced after 6 pm. I’m guessing Ferguson time which is Central.

Reading is a whitey thing.

DITTO - it's great!

Thanks, MrB!

FOX said it will be 6:00 P.M. Eastern time. That means it will be 5:00 P.M. Missouri time.

[Beagle8U]

Now they are saying it will be after 6 pm eastern time, which would be 5pm in Ferguson.

[rdl6989]

I can’t believe he’ll be indicted, especially since several experts have said it is extremely difficult to indict a cop in this situation. On the other hand, this has nothing to do with the law.

[BunnySlippers]

Thank you.

Okay, that’s 4PM here in L.A.

[envisio]

If they indict I’ll be drinking a beer getting my supper ready to watch some TV.

If they don’t, then I’ll be drinking a beer getting my supper ready to watch some TV.

[MrB]

Seriously, Google image search isn’t that hard! :)

enjoy

Well, now FOX says 6 Eastern. Whatever, just pull out a tv tray for supper so you’ll be ready.
