Off-Topic III: The Revengening!

Considering the riots I would say it doesn't mater what the cases out come is as this would of hsppend regardless.

Yeah, it would either be because of the miscarriage of justice with the cop being a scapegoat or because of the miscarriage of justice with the cop getting away scott free.

but if you look at the rioters, according to police reports of arrests since the shooting, most of those rioters arrested are white and from a different town. almost as if they are using the unrest as an excuse. obviously that is not always the case, but the people who are using the riots as an excuse to condemn the black community are ignoring the activities of the kkk etc. who are there.

Also that there is a whole load of video footage showing police firing rubber bullets and teargas at peaceful protesters (including people trying to help a woman who'd had a heart attack), firing teargas into residential areas, fires being started not by riots but by teargas cannisters shot into cars, police surrounding protesters on all sides then telling them to disperse (what first amendment lol) or be arrested but not letting the protesters through their lines etc etc.

yup, not to mention hiding their identities, harassing journalists, doing everything they possibly can to obscure the truth.

The 'rioters' also torched Mike Browns church. Why on earth would supporters of Mike Brown torch his church? It is however a long established KKK tactic, and the current head honcho of the KKK admitted to having links with Ferguson police on television before backtracking and trying to say he had friends who knew people.

The decision not to indict was never in doubt, people on social media have been talking about it and the prosecutors links to Ferguson police for over a month. The riots didn't erupt when the decision came down, they erupted when police attacked the peaceful vigils and protests.

It could be, but then again we're talking a about a country founded on genocide and slavery, and still values human life so little they'll stand and watch you die of easily treatable things for lack of insurance/money.

Time to insert some much needed musical propaganda.



Cheers!

No, because it's not a trial as one usually thinks of it to determine innocence or guilt, but more like a committal hearing to determine the strength of the evidence that there is a reasonable case to go ahead with. I believe the US is the only country to still use them.

Yes indeed. Not a trial and only used to determine if there is a sufficient reason to have a trial. The prosecutor has almost complete control over what is presented to the Grand Jury so they can basically determine the outcome before it even starts. This was nothing more than a dog and pony show.
