The coverage by the media was a big reason the prosecution lost the case.

Actually, if you listen to any legal scholar or law professor or prosecuting professional or defense professional that has commented today (after they reviewed the transcripts of the grand jury)... the vast majority of them say the main reason the prosecution didn't get charges... was because the prosecution handled this like a "cover your ass" case, not like a case in which he was actually trying to get charges. He did not subject the officer to anything close to the normal rigorous cross examination to his testimony. The grand jury was a white wash (yes... pun intended).

Not saying the cop was guilty of anything, just saying the prosecutor running the grand jury didn't do his job. He covered his ass. He is a politician... and he probably didn't want the police union pissed at him.

He probably found it hard to counter the following facts:

Kid stole
Kid tried to steal the cops gun
Kid punches cop in face
Kid got shot
Kid ran towards the cop like he was going to tackle him

You can tell Passion lost the war when all he can do is send hilarious PMs and flag posts that prove his worthlessness in this discussion.

The way I think this played out (FWIW I work in a courthouse)... The DAs have discretion on what charges they want to bring. They looked at the evidence and didn't find that there was enough evidence to get a conviction on any of the crimes that went to grand jury, well, because there wasn't. At best, there was probable cause, but that's ignoring the obvious self-defense aspect and all the other evidence that basically shows that the grand jury made the right decision. DAs/Prosecutors don't generally take it to a grand jury unless there's a lot more than probable cause because the burden for a conviction is so much higher and nobody wants to waste time and money. Still, if they don't seek any indictment or take it to grand jury they know they are fucked. So, they do a CYOA for political reasons and give everything to the grand jury while not recommending a finding. I'm fine with it. All the evidence suggests that Michael Brown was a dumbass at best and this isn't some thing where he got killed only because of his skin color. Not letting a cop out of their SUV and then punching them or grabbing their gun is FS.

I would like him to know what he sees we don't.

I have posted pictures of a cop who was beat.

I have posted articles that show blood was in the car, the kids blood.

I have posted an article that says the grand jury was fair.

He does hilarious PMs and flag posts.

That noted cop-hater Damone doesn't see the problem with militarized, trigger-happy cops speaks volumes.

What makes you think that I dont see a problem with militarized trigger happy cops? I've said that I do several times As always, fuck the police. But that opinion dues not affect the facts of this specific case.

Oh I agree that this case was legally not going to result in a conviction. The institutional issues were much more important.
