No one says a word about black on black violence, that is the point. It is happening every day. Take a look at Chicago on any given weekend.
Let me tell you, this case is setting itself up for a big fall. There is no way that Officer Wilson is going to be found guilty. In fact, other than the media circus, the mob mentality of the citizens of Ferguson, the overzealous governor, the racist Holder and a President that shouldn't interfere until the facts come out, this case would not get filed but we all know that the state is going to bring charges and then of course when Wilson walks there will be more riots. That doesn't mean the feds won't try and bankrupt Wilson by filing a civil rights suits. Don't mention the amount of resources that the federal government is wasting on this case (40 FBI agents).
Let me see, we have a "victim" who minutes before the crime committed a strong armed robbery (forcible felony), an APB/BOLO was announced on the police radio after the robbery, was under the influence of marijuana (and who knows what else), appears to have fought with the officer and inflicted injury to the officer, appears to have tried grabbing the officer's gun, resisted arrest and probably charged the police officer before the fatal shots were fired.
Let's not forget the rush to judgment. Within hours there were numerous "eyewitnesses" who stated that Officer Wilson shot the "victim" in the back and lo and behold when the autopsy comes back all of the bullets were in the front.
This is a "no charge" case under any other set of circumstances. When I was in law school I worked at the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office and I was in the major crimes division. We had lots of cases where the facts weren't any where near these facts and we wouldn't file charges. I had a case 25 years ago where a 13 year black kid flashed a bb gun to a white security guard at nighttime in Liberty City at a gas station (95th street and 7th ave if you know Miami, the Mobil station) and the security guard blew the kid away. He didn't know it was a bb gun. No charges got filed.
There will be riots when Wilson walks.

Just turned on the tv and it was NBC News. This is so disgusting. No one even knows the details of the attack and they're walking and protesting like the've been violated. I can see the merit in the Trayvon case but this is just sickening. Not a single person talking about how the police officer might be in the right and was being attacked by this monster.
Well a game changer for 80% of America will be when the photos of the cops face are released and he has a broken eye socket - if in fact Officer Wilson's eye socket was broken - white or black - if u break and officer's eye socket it is reasonable to expect ur ass is getting shot - hitting an officer is like hitting a nun - it doesn't happen - outside of prison
Now, if DNA testing can place Brown or the other kid's prints anywhere on the officer's gun - then I think even the good rev needs to apologize to the officer and move on to his next stunt
Totally agree. I fully supported The Prosecution of Zimmerman, based on all the facts as I know them. Zimmerman is a very lucky man to not be rotting away in jail. I fully support the total acquittal and Non Indictment of Officer Wilson. Based on the facts as I currently know them, he did nothing wrong. It is just pure laziness, and dare I say racism by the media on all sides to link these 2 cases. They have little in common, other than the race hustlers of all ilks that invariably get involved in crap like this.
