There is no trial. A grand jury decides whether to indict (press charges) "for" the prosecutor (DA, typically) who has decided to defer to them in making that decision. There is no judge, trial, etc. This result is no different than a prosecutor choosing not to file any charges against a potential criminal. Not assumption of guilt or innocence - simply a decision that the evidence has not proven any laws were broken.

Nobody can go after the members of the grand jury as that is sealed permanently and cannot be released by anyone.

There is a separate, federal investigation that could result in charges.

But, just to prove I'm willing to play along: I'm not so sure that you actually know how the process works. Did you not know that throughout the process, several judges have been involved?

Let me just throw down a quick example for you:
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/16/justic...on-grand-jury/

Again, if CNN doesn't cater to your preferred take on the truth, just Google: St. Louis County Judge Carolyn Whittington

or any of the other judges names who have been involved in the process.

But again, it goes back to my point... which is much more simplistic in nature...


Just because I don't want the actual point to be missed by anyone else...

Perpetuating a stereotype can never change peoples perceptions.

There are dozens of ways to actually make an impact on this situation but getting free weave and hdtvs ends up as the solution. I'm calling it what it is, greed tbh.

Cops target black youths because most of the time they are the ones committing the crimes, there's no disputing that. So how is going out and committing crimes going to change that perception? How is destroying your community going to prove you are a vital and contributing part of your community? lolololol


The family was right, police should all wear recording devices at all times.
