You continue to ignore the FACT that the majority of the eyewitnesses by a sizable margin agreed that Brown's hands were raised when the fatal shots were fired.

Well, apparently the facebook video is not Brown,however, I have reservations about a person who strong arms a clerk and then punches a cop in the face as not being a thug. The fact that four witnesses who were black told a different story is more telling to me than a majority who were highly influenced by the black community.

You're entitled to your opinions.

You should not be entitled to disregard our entire system of justice to validate those opinions.

That's true, but there should've been an indictment because there was more than enough probable cause had the prosecutor chosen to make the case.

There was no indictment because the prosecutor wanted no indictment and acted accordingly.

One of the grand jurors is suing him over that misconduct.

That is unprecedented, and should clearly tell you that something was awry, but you continuously dismiss it because "black thug".

I agree the prosecutor should have just requested a trial and skipped the whole charade of a mislead and scapegoated grand jury.

He just wants a rubber stamp racial vindication. Hence the hesitation to claim the slaughter of a latino and chinese american police officer as compensation. It reminds me of the need to label the fl shooting as racial. The agenda clouds reason.

Black comes in more with your eagerness to accept it.
