If the Politico is admitting the facts, it must be really bad for the liberal/progressive writers. Their meme must be exploding.

So, then, who forces the millions of retractions and apologies that are due the honest families of Ferguson, MO?

Besides, we don't try people for crimes they almost certainly didn't commit just to satisfy a mob that will throw things at the police and burn down local businesses if it doesn't get its way.

George Zimmerman might beg to differ here.

If Wilson or anyone would simply point out that he (Wilson) was protecting the community, and not just Wilson it would be better.

In any case, body cameras are not the answer. Our judicial system works when used properly

People either believe this or not. No amount of camera recording will convince the unconvincible

If MB had put his hands up and said “don't shoot” all of this would be happening somewhere else. Obummer and the dept. of “just us” would find something else to fan the flames.

I wanna know WHY this became such a ridiculous national story? Who benefits from this? What is the agenda that keeps this story alive? Anyone with 2 brain cells in their head can clearly see he was a thug and acted stupid and reckless. You try and reach for a cops gun you’re pretty much guaranteed something bad is going to happen.

Why was Trayvon such a big deal?

> “This is a terrible tragedy”

No it’s not. A tragedy is an unforeseeable event, a freak event like a tree falling on a passerby.

Attacking a cop has consequences. Brown attacked a cop, the consequences are obvious. He had a chance to surrender, he charged instead. There’s nothing tragic about it - he got what he wanted.

That begs the same question! Who is doing this and why? Who stands to profit from this? Media sells more ad time cuz nobody watches their crap anymore otherwise. That’s who’s pockets I see getting fat by this!

As an expression of justice, no. As an expression of naked political power, that is precisely what the Left was (and remains) after in this. Are we actually to believe that the 170 cities the media are trumpeting participated in demonstrations did so spontaneously? Not a chance.

The original Occupy riots were a tune-up. This was a dress rehearsal. The next one will be for real.

who is doing this and why?

It does seem that the puppet masters are replacing blacks with Hispanics. There is now a situation that clearly shows (as does the Obama administration) that blacks will not stand up and criticize other blacks. Not just a wimper, but get out there in Ferguson and other protest locations and demand that the outside agitators leave their city.

All those Hispanics and other invaders getting Obama work permits? They've just become a whole lot more employable than blacks, who should be protesting and demanding that US citizens get US jobs. Instead, they're defending the right of agitators to burn their communities.

“It’s unusual, yes, but not unheard of for prosecutors to present a case to a grand jury without a recommendation to indict. Regardless, who could really object to a grand jury hearing everything in such a sensitive case? If any of the evidence were excluded that, surely, would have been the basis of other howls of an intolerably stacked deck.”

I have served on a Criminal Grand Jury here in California. I did not feel that the prosecutor was trying to stack the deck in the four cases I heard, but rather simply layout what had occurred and let us decide whether or not there was enough evidence to indict. A Grand Jury is simply a mechanism to bypass arraignment and all the pre-trial crap that clogs up the system. It’s a good process from my experiences with it.

Are there still Freepers who believe that the main problem is scary-looking cops rather than rioting vandals?

Look through the various other Ferguson threads. There’s all kinds of them.
