And there you go.
NO TRUE BILL.
As I predicted. I submit: Brown tried to disarm Wilson within the vehicle. That was terrible “officer safety” on Wilson’s part. I further submit: Wilson’s lack of experience with violence because of his place in Ferguson is responsible for the outcome.
But officers can only do and know what they have prepared for.
There is a GREAT difference between large departments and small departments.

Looks to me like their own words exposed them as they are: incredibly stupid.
Question: how could the “authorities” have made this announcement worse? Late, extended, and at night? The only thing worse could have been to allow protesters into the grand jury room. No one from the Brown family was given the courtesy of a notification.
A cluster.
Further: will the press somehow be able to expose the names and addresses of the members of the grand jury? How reprehensible would that be?

All of them. All the black racists.

Twitter and social media are expecting the grand jury decision to come down some time tonight, perhaps at the Justice Center in Clayton, MO, at around 8 PM Central time.
“Prosecutor Bob McCulloch is expected to announce the outcome of their deliberations soon.”
Another announcement indicates a decision released at 9 PM Eastern, which is 6 PM Pacific.
I submit: the grand jury will not indict Officer Darren Wilson.
Your thoughts?

The official release of the St Louis County Grand Jury decision regarding Ferguson Police Department (MO) Officer Darren Wilson has not occurred, but is expected to manifest itself some time this week.
In the meantime, protesters can’t wait to cork off — and they’ve had no qualms about saying precisely that. The New Black Panthers are in Ferguson, advocating violence against police.
On the other hand, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has activated his national guard on Monday.

Navy Vet Fired After Posting Photos Of DHS Trucks In Hotel GarageMark Paffrath noticed something strange in the parking garage of the hotel he worked at. There were numerous vehicles from The Department of Homeland Security sitting there. Paffrath took a couple of photos and posted them to his Facebook page.
Those posts landed him in hot water with Drury Plaza Hotel management. According to Argus News Now, the Navy veteran was called into a meeting and told to delete the posts. He complied, but unfortunately that did not satisfy his bosses. He was fired a couple of days later. After being let go, he re-posted the images to his Facebook page.
What were dozens of DHS vehicles doing parked in a garage Chesterfield, MO? Chesterfield is about 25 miles from Ferguson, where officials are planning for potential riots pending the decision of a grand jury about whether to charge officer Darren Williams in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The Federal Protective Service is an agency formerly under General Services (now under Homeland Security) which is tasked with the external and sometimes internal security of federal buildings around the nation. In short, the vehicles were being staged for Ferguson.
One question, however: just what is the federal government’s role in the riots that are sure to come in and around Ferguson?
