Ferguson police execute an unarmed 17 yr old boy (Update: Ferguson police chief to resign 3/19)

[smitty22]

I believe the decision to NOT indict wilson was made maybe after the 1st month of the grand jury meetings. I think the last 2 months has been a formality for the governer, mayor & law enforcement officials to get their ducks lined in a row incase there's riots. The governor getting on televison with those black officers behind him chastising & warning the community if they get out of line "all neccessary means" will be made to keep them in order.

The reason we had so many "leaks" from the grand jury is because they don't just sit in a room until a decison is made, they speak freely to the prosecutor & among themselves & meet weekly for short periods of time. The DA can read the tealeaves & see that most of that grand jury panel feels wilson was justifed in killing brown so then he goes around running his mouth. And futhermore grand juries are nothing but checks & balances from the DA. If he WANTED wilson charged he would be charged because the GJ goes with whatever the DA says & he can present the evidence in a way to atleast get a probable cause for a trial.

I believe what Mcollough is doing is making the GJ feel as if they're also they are the trial jury that ultimately decides wilson's fate which isn't true. There's more than enough probable cause to atleast warrant an indictment & trial but that crooked DA doesn't want it & 9 outta 12 people WON'T go against him which is sad but usually happens when you're dealing with a grand jury.

Nixon has basically said it's open season on ANYONE who gets out of line once that NON indictment decision comes down. The outraged community will be the ones to be demonized in the media if things pop off not wilson, he'll get a nice severance package along with most of the money that was raised in his defense in a off shore account.

I'm so conflicted because I don't wanna see people getting killed in that community by overzealous national guards going forward but the silent candle light vigals & non violent protests don't work either. The frustration stems from there being no precedent or repecussions for officers killing unarmed black men, even wanna be cops with CWL's can kill if they feel threathned.

Couldnt have said it better

A lot of good info in this thread how corrupt the system in Ferguson is. He was never going to get indicted anyways when u need 9 votes, and 9 out of the 12 grand jurors are white

I disagree with this...if the DA does his job properly, presents all facts, eyewitnesses, etc., he should be able to convince a GJ that an indictment is necessary.
I worry more about the crooked DA, who has a questionable history of prosecution, along with the fact his father was a white police officer killed by a black man, than I do the GJ. coming to the right conclusion based on the facts of the case.

Ferguson Cop Supporters Crowdfunded a “Pants Up, Don’t Loot” Billboard
Adam Weinstein

Spurred on by a Tennessee resident who is concerned about the Ferguson protesters and their catchy chants, supporters of police officer Darren Wilson have donated more than enough money to post a billboard in the heart of the St. Louis suburb reading “#PantsUPDontLoot.”

The phrase and hashtag, popularized by pearl-clutching National Review conservatives as a retort to the protesters’ “Hands up, don’t shoot” rallying cry, apparently seeks to redirect attention from alleged excessive police force to alleged “violence and mayhem” by demonstrators.

The idea to toss the phrase onto a billboard “in the heart of Florissant,” where most of the Ferguson protests and police counter-actions have occurred, is being spearheaded by an IndieGoGo campaigner from Brentwood, Tennessee, named Don Alexander:

This crowdfunding campaign is for the purchase of a billboard in the Ferguson, MO area. The billboard will display black text on a white background with the text “#PantsUPDontLoot”. After some initial confusion we are working with other, undisclosed companies in the area that are willing to create and display this image. The funds collected from this campaign will be used to purchase this billboard for as long as possible. Lamar originally quoted us ~$2,500 for 1 month but others have come in under that amount. Whatever funds we receive will go directly to keeping the billboard campaign up as long as possible. If we come to an agreement with a company and can fund it for 3 months, 5 months, 7 months…, we will.

Alexander initially sought $3,000 to get the billboard up; he was assisted by social media, including posters on St. Louis Coptalk, a commenting board for area police and their supporters.

"There is an effort to crowdfund a billboard in the Ferguson area against the rioting and looting with the hashtag #PantsUpDontLoot on it," one Coptalk commenter wrote on November 13. “It is coming down to the wire of getting it up before the Wilson announcement.”

That same day, Alexander announced that the billboard had exceeded its goal, gathering $3,081 from 29 funders so far. Shortly after, one supporter commented: "we did it guys!"

Alexander hasn’t run any other IndieGoGo campaigns, but ominously, records show he istracking the progress of the “Ferguson Legal Defense Fund,” a campaign supported by Talib Kweli that’s attempting to raise money for bail for any demonstrators who get arrested on the city streets.

So far, that campaign has only reached 5 percent of its $25,000 goal.

This isn't a shot a Black people, it's something good for the community! Just look at the website!
