Btw, the comments to her tweet are so


You can prob guess them without even reading them...


"Well the cops had a week to coach these statements"

"Put them on the stand, so we know they aren't made up"

Etc...


It makes me sick at my stomach reading that crap and seeing them scream justice.

It's not every day that a unarmed black teen is shot dead in broad daylight in middle of street by a white cop... This was making national news because the locals were going to make sure it made national news.



Agreed but these "protesters" are losing credibility because morons are causing more violence.

Yet there isn't a peep when an unarmed black teen is killed in broad daylight by another black teen.

Sure there is, just after the weather report....it's starts out like this, "in other news, __________ was killed when he/she was ________ at 2:00 AM, now on to the lighter side of the news."

Well of course not, that does not create ratings for 24 hour news channels.

That's how Zimmerman ended up being charged.


The dynamics with our local prosecutor are far different.

Just go to the first post in this thread and read the initial article on this story...


The locals, sure. But the national figures pick it up for a second and drop it. No way Al shows up in Ferguson for a petty thief.

Btw, the word is the DA is about to convene a Grand Jury in the case... I find that very odd being that they don't even have the full toxicology report back. Seems like that could be a critical part of the evidence.

They didnt have credibility to begin with imo. They were protesting before there was anything to protest. at least let the investigation take place before you protest the results.

Not what I had heard/read... The initial report was back and it showed marijuana, but it would be another week or two to determine PCP and other hard drugs

But look at all the good they have accomplished. They have destroyed their own community's property, engaged in violence injuring themselves and others, kept their own children from being able to attend school, further lined Sharpton's pockets, etc. It's been a very productive week for the citizen's of Ferguson.

I'm glad the cops kept their mouth shut a few days to verify witness testimony.

I'm guessing you don't own the Autozone or Boost Mobile or McDonalds or the QT in Ferguson nor do you live in Ferguson. They may have a different position.

I can't imagine the pressure on the grand jury. Does the cop have to pay his own legal expenses, or does the department/union pay for that?
