I don't know enough to say what did or did not happen.

My best guess:

Wilson is an a-hole cop that MAY have acted precipitously.

Brown was an a-hole thug that MAY have acted provocatively

There is a legal process and a grand jury that will have heard much more evidence and I'll respect their decision.

However, in any case, acting like a wild pack of criminal assholes is a bad look (for both sides)

ETA: I didn't vote at all and have NEVER down voted anyone

Considering how cops almost always get off, I will assume he is not indicted. And I really have little to no respect for our judicial system.

I am going to bet there will be some sort of meta analysis in a few weeks, I will likely respect that much more than the grand jury.

As to whether he should be charged with something....when I first heard the story, I thought probably yes. After hearing the next wave of information, I thought probably not. Now I have no real idea what happened that day, and likely never will.

I can totally see why the residents of ferguson will be fricking pissed off if he is not indicted but I wont really care.
