A jury is supposed to be unbiased and base their decisions on the evidence provided to them, detached from emotional bias.
In this case the alleged eye witnesses gave conflicting and sometimes changing accounts of what they saw.
The autopsy supported the officer's version of the events and AFAIK the second federal autopsy has not shown anything different.
If this situation were reversed, and it was Brown who was being accused of murder, then no doubt the black community in Ferguson would be trumpeting this as proof of his innocence. But because the skin colors are reversed this same stuff is "proof" that the white people are lying and somehow justifies burning cop cars, throwing bricks and bottles and molotov cocktails
Also - found it interesting the article was commenting negatively on how his dead body laid there for four hours. He wasn't getting any deader and they were investigating the scene. No doubt had they instead whisked his body away quickly there would be people claiming they did it to cover up evidence.
The grand jury is made up of nine white and three black jurors.A decision on criminal charges requires agreement from at least nine of the 12.
Jeeze, it just so happens that there is the exact number of white people as there are people needed to produce an indictment.
What a coinky-dink!
Just to stifle your claims on the eye witnesses.
here you go
And how did the autopsy confirm Wilson's claims?
When it was found Brown died 150 ft from the car despite Wilson's claim of it being 35 feet?
How all the eyewitnesses did agree to a physical altercation but nothing about Robert McCulloch's clam that Brown didn't attempt to surrender and instead reportedly charged at Wilson before the final shots were fired?
And about your whole eyewitnesses, I'm sure you're getting your info from McCulloch so you know how he claimed that Brown was stopped because he fit the description of a man who just robbed a store but in reality was stopped because of
jaywalking
As the colors are now, people still think Wilson was in the right.
But lets give this reverse-color scenario.
A black cop kills an unarmed white teen, do you know what would happen?
The black cop would be fired, jailed, executed and probably considered a terrorist.
A 12 year old boy was shot because he had BB Gun, while a 30 some year old white man was waving a fully loaded gun in a park and was just detained and let go with no charges.
A body was left strewn on the ground, and no one called the paramedics. Other police officers came and roped off the area hours before medical services were called. that's what you should get out of it, not this concluding of what MIGHT'VE happened.
but ya' know, being edgy is cool right?
