Sure send him to the gallows and kill the officer, I meant to say that I agree he shouldn't have been indited, that doesn't make him innocent, but there wasn't enough non biased concrete evidence that you could convict him. That's what I base my opinion on, but I doubt you baristas would leave your local starbucks and turn off CNN, I'm pretty liberal, but some of you guys are idiotic.

Their decision changes nothing, his indictment would have changed nothing.

I don't care about this anymore.

You're betraying the fact that you don't know how grand juries work. Grand juries have nothing to do with convictions. They don't weigh whether there's enough to convict a person. They weigh whether there's enough to send it to trial, and then the jury trial decides whether there should be a conviction.

By any reasonable standard, there was more than enough for an indictment. A ham sandwich can get indicted in America. This grand jury was given "all of the evidence," according to the DA, which is largely unprecedented. Grand juries are supposed to be given enough to make a reasonable judgment about whether the case should go to trial, but this grand jury was turned into a jury trial and that's outrageous.

*Sighs*

1. I literally don't know of any baristas in here. I'm an attorney myself. Corporate law is my specialty. So you know. Totally the same thing.

2. I don't watch CNN. Or drink coffee.

3. You do realize a grand jury is convoked to determine if proceedings will go to trial? The less strict attention paid to evidence and the pattern of police stonewalling in addition to the honestly pretty racist dynamic of people supporting Officer Wilson is.. y'know... racist.

The American Justice system overwhelmingly favours the prosecution; this is one of the many reasons why the U.S. is the country with the largest incarcerated population in the world. The fact that this system, which jails thousands of people every day over nothing, couldn't even charge a white man over the death of an unarmed black teen is proof of racism. Keyword here is charged. Not sentenced, but charged. No trial. Nothing.

I'm not bothering, because this thread is as funny as those fainting goat videos.

Fainting goat videos?

Gawd, I need to Internet more. Or perhaps not, the Internet can be such a cesspool.
