Grand jury reaches decision in case of Ferguson officer

A grand jury has reached a decision on whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson, Mo. police officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager sparked days of turbulent protests, sources close to the process said.
 
Sources said that press conferences are being prepared by the county prosecutors’ office and the Missouri governor. Those press conferences will likely come later today.
 
The announcement gave no indication of whether Wilson, 28, will face state charges in the August shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, which triggered a frank conversation about race and police interaction with African-Americans.

Althought a parallel federal civil rights investigation of the shooting is continuing, federal investigators have all but concluded they don’t have a case against Wilson, law enforcement officials have said. Federal investigators are also conducting a broader probe of the Ferguson Police Department.

I've said all along that I think the shoot was legal.

I've also said I believe there is way more to it than a clean, simple shoot.   More like, cop took a few licks, stopped the prick, shot him at a bit of a distance without considering anything besides the bullets - and maybe a headshot when all was said and done.   

The cop is human, and he probably just hurt like crazy and wanted to punish the dude, hey, totally understandable.  But IMHO, it's going to be something along the lines of "he didn't have to shoot, probably should not have, some details a little fishy, but no charges". 

Just seems like there was SO much friendly info leaked, but that moment of the shooting, they were silent on.

Ferguson Grand Jury 'Unfair,' Michael Brown Family Lawyer Says

A lawyer for the family of the black 18-year-old fatally shot by a white police officer said today the grand jury process playing out in Missouri is unlike anything he's seen before and is unfair.

The St. Louis County prosecuting attorney, Robert McCulloch, has said that, unlike with a typical grand jury, he would present to this grand jury all the evidence gathered in the police investigation and offer the jurors the opportunity to hear from any witness with relevant information.

The target of the investigation, Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, was among those who testified.

A spokesman for McCulloch has indicated that the prosecutor's office will not likely make a specific recommendation about charges, but would give the grand jurors a range of charges to consider, from involuntary manslaughter up to first-degree murder.

The grand jury investigating the killing of Michael Brown by Wilson is not meeting this weekend and will reconvene Monday, sources told ABC News.

Actually, what happened in Florida with George Zimmerman was unfair, where you had a prosecutor bypass the grand jury and just submit an affidavit (and a misleading one at that). 

This process is much more fair, where they present all of the evidence to the grand jury, where I understand the officer even testified, and let them make a decision.

No indictment in Ferguson case
Yamiche Alcindor and William M. Welch, USA TODAY
November 24, 2014

FERGUSON, Mo. -- A white police officer will not face charges for fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager in a case that set off violent protests and racial unrest throughout the nation, an attorney close to the case said Monday night.

A St. Louis County grand jury declined to indict officer Darren Wilson, 28, for firing six shots in an August confrontation that killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, said Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the family. The decision had been long awaited and followed rioting that resembled war-zone news footage in this predominantly black suburb of St. Louis.

"The jury was not inclined to indict on any charges,'' Crump said after being informed of the decision by authorities. Prosecutors scheduled an news conference to announce the decision.

No surprise

[tonymctones]

he came back toward the officer.

Body found 150 something feet from the officer car, browns blood found 170 something feet from the car....

[headhuntersix]

Holy shit anybody listening to these friggen idiot reporters and their questions. These guys are retards. Apparently no research into MO law.....The grand jury came back with no indictment. That's it...evidence to go to trial is remarkably lower then conviction. They want a riot with this shit. Wife has family in St Louis...her uncle is well armed.

[Dos Equis]

Listened to the entire presentation by the DA.  Sounds like the grand jury heard all of the evidence and made the right decision. 

A number of witnesses testified that Brown was moving toward the officer when he was shot. 

[headhuntersix]

He did a great job,.......wife had the Ferguson police scanner on...shots fired at Police station..bricks at cop car... etc etc. I bet by tomorrow this will be s shit show.

They didnt see the evidence 240 did

[headhuntersix]

MO guard will have to go in....this will be a disaster. If they do a good job it will be a blue print for this kind of shit. Pray for the cops...long night tonight.

[Dos Equis]

They didnt see the evidence 240 did

But he said it was a "legal shoot" (while arguing against a "legal shoot"), so he's covered. 

[Dos Equis]

MO guard will have to go in....this will be a disaster. If they do a good job it will be a blue print for this kind of shit. Pray for the cops...long night tonight.

I hope not, but the comments from people who are condemning the verdict will probably just add fuel to the fire.  Pray for the cops indeed.   

[flipper5470]

The people looting Ferguson could give a fuck about Mike Brown....he's just another spook to them as much as he was to any cop...they just want to steal and riot.

[240 is Back]

they just want to steal and riot.

agreeed

[Dos Equis]

Of course.   

Brown Family Attorney: If Wilson’s Not Indicted, We Will Still Pursue Action Against Him
BY JENNIFER VAN LAAR

No matter what the outcome of the grand jury investigation in Ferguson is, Officer Darren Wilson’s legal troubles will not be over.

Attorney Ben Crump, who represents the Brown family, appeared on MSNBC’s Reid Report Monday and was asked about the family’s plans after the grand jury announcement.

“They’re trying to put their faith in the justice system, that it will work for their child too, equally, like it will work for everybody else.

And if there’s no indictment, the federal government is investigating the matter, so they will want to know if there’s any federal charges, but if not then the only remedy they will have left is a legal civil matter, and so we are going to explore every legal avenue to get them some sense of justice.”
Crump said the family also had some advice for protesters in Ferguson. “They want everybody to be peaceful, non-violent, because they don’t think you can address issues of violence by being violent.”

The Brown family responded to the news that a grand jury did not find probable cause for charging him for wrongfully shooting Michael Brown Jr.:

Of course, the Brown family and its attorney was also instrumental in breaking the news ahead of the grand jury announcement that Officer Darren Wilson would not be charged –  as was covered by IJReview.com.

The most credible eyewitnesses to the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., said he had charged toward Police Officer Darren Wilson just before the final, fatal shots, the St. Louis County prosecutor said Monday night as he sought to explain why a grand jury had not found probable cause to indict the officer.

The accounts of several other witnesses from the Ferguson neighborhood where Mr. Brown, 18 and unarmed, met his death on Aug. 9 — including those who said Mr. Brown was trying to surrender — changed over time or were inconsistent with physical evidence, the prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, said in a news conference.

“The duty of the grand jury is to separate fact and fiction,” he said in a statement watched by a tense nation. “No probable cause exists to file any charges against Darren Wilson.”

Tweeting the Grand Jury's Decision




The task facing the St. Louis County grand jury was not to determine whether Officer Darren Wilson was guilty of a crime, but whether there was evidence to justify bringing charges, which could have ranged from negligent manslaughter to intentional murder.

The fact that at least nine members of the 12-member panel could not agree to indict the officer indicates that they accepted the narrative of self-defense put forth by Officer Wilson in his voluntary, four hours of testimony before the grand jury. Mr. McCulloch, in his summary of the months of testimony, said it was supported by the most reliable eyewitness accounts — from African-Americans in the vicinity of the shooting — as well as physical evidence and the consistent results of three autopsies.

from ted nugent,not a big fan of his but what he said is true


Here’s the lessons from Ferguson America- Don’t let your kids growup to be thugs who think they can steal, assault & attack cops as a way of life & badge of black (dis)honor. Don’t preach your racist bullsh*t “no justice no peace”
"When a cop tells you to get out of the middle of the street, obey him & don't attack him as brainwashed by the gangsta assholes you hang with & look up to. It's that simple unless you have no brains, no soul, no sense of decency whatsoever."
"And dont claim that "black lives matter" when you ignore the millions you abort & slaughter each & every day by other blacks. Those of us with a soul do indeed believe black lives matter, as all lives matter. So quit killin each other you fuckin idiots. Drive safely."
