No, a grand jury listens to evidence and decides if there is enough evidence for a trial. I was wrong about the black-white ratio of people on there but there was not enough evidence for a trial. I can tell that you have no clue how the legal system works but that is not surprising.

  The grand jury didn't get  the whole truth, there was no cross examination of the witness.     They could have just sit there an lied and no one was there to catch them in a lie.  The cop lied through his teeth, that I have no doubt of.

I do believe you're right Purplelady.......he has no clue.

Really, according to reports they cross examined several people and most of the time cross examination takes place in a trial not a grand jury.

Grand juries perform both accusatory and investigatory functions.

Grand juries are empowered to compel witnesses to testify and review all evidence in the process of determining whether said testimony / evidence meets the legal requirements to pursue formal legal charges against the party / parties being accused of wrong-doing.

A Grand Jury is not under the jurisdiction of the court

  I don't  know where some of you people get your information, but you are wrong.     It has been proven that a female prosecutor gave the jury the unconstitutional law on how a cop had the right to shoot a fleeing person.     This court ruling was a fraud and this will come out as a miscarriage of justice.

  Henry, you want to put up some money that you are right and I am wrong.      let's say $100 bill would be a good start.     You have been wrong so many times when I wanted to bet you I could take a vacation in Florida.   

[Henry Hawk]

Again I say...

That "fleeing person" was a 6 feet 4, almost 300 pound 'teenager' who had just robbed a convenience store, and was walking down the middle of the road with a friend when a policeman told him to move over. Instead of complying, the teenager attacked the policeman while he was still in his car.

I would guess, from that behavior, that he was high, either on alcohol or some kind of drug. Anyway, as my father would have said, all hell broke loose. And the media?

"Now that the grand jury has done its job, isn't it time the media got the Ferguson storyline correct? Ever since the tragic death of Michael Brown, we've heard that an unarmed black teenager was gunned down by a white police officer."

"We now know that a more appropriate line would have been, "Violent robbery suspect killed in attack on police officer."  But the media invested early in the "unarmed teenager" angle and kept repeating it.

"Mr. Brown did not deserve to lose his life over a box of cigars. But he should not have assaulted a store employee or attacked a police officer who confronted him, as are alleged. The only person who put Mtr. Brown in the position in which a police officer would find it necessary to shoot him was Mr. Brown himself.

"Having done so much to bring about the violence, it is probably too late for the major media to undo the damage done. But isn't it time to get the story right?"  -- John Vencius, Oakton

YES! Libby

There have been many blacks who have said that when you act like a thug such as Brown did then one will pay the consequences. The best post I read was from an 83 year old black gentleman who said what did the people want the officer to do get the crap beat out of him!

[me]

I read where someone published the address of the reporter that published Wilson's address and now she's calling the cops wanting protection.....The dumb ass should have known better.  What was she thinking anyway?  She is now getting some of what she caused to happen to someone else.....Ain't karma wonderful in some cases?

  Not complying means that you have the right to kill the boy.  Give me a break.   

[Purplelady1040]

The right to kill  came into play when this so-called perfect Angel that some seem to think that he was tried to reach for the officer's weapon and was trying to beat the shit out of the officer. What did you want the officer to do, say thank you, may I have another? Afterall, we are talking about kid who had robbed a store, assaulted the store owner and was high.

  Just how do you know he went for the damn cop's weapon.  The gun wasn't checked for the boys DNA. If he had grabbed it there would be DNA on it.  Why don't you think, use you brain once in awhile.

OK. Tell me this: If you were in that policeman's shoes, in your car, looking up at an angry 6'4" 300 pound young male of any skin color  -- who had just refused to move out of the middle of the road -- what would you do?
