View Full Version : Ferguson grand jury decision

How did hundreds of rioters come to the conclusion that justice was not the conclusion of the grand jury after the grand jury had considered all the evidence?

When the grand jury's decision was announced how did the rioters in the street, the ones with no TVs, the ones that had seen and heard ZERO evidence, how did 100% of them with that lack of information come to the conclusion they should burn, rob and loot?

Could the answer me as EZ as black and white?

This thread won't last long before it gets shut down.

That being said, the Ferguson people acted as expected. I'll bet 50% of the residents wanted this decision so they could riot and have an early black Friday. Lets see have much Al Sharpton stirs the pot.

Last night one of the news people said "obviously, the smell of marijuana is in the air"

Because some - not all - of these people are there to create havoc.
I would venture that a lot do not know the "victim" and could care less about him. All they want is to riot and steal.

Some honestly believe there has been an injustice.

I certainly do not have the facts and can not make an intelligent decision from where I sit. However, the Grand Jury has made it's decision and we (they) must live by it.

The actions of the ignorant should not come as a surprise to anyone. Where is Sharpton and Jackson. Check that, if they were there, the situation would only escalate. Everyone should be able to protest PEACEFULLY, but it seems that the black community doesn't know how to do it. The irony really was last night when the President was calling for peace and basically blaming law enforcement for the problems, his supporters were breaking windows and starting fires. Now, the National Guard is in place. There needs to be a mandatory curfew put in place and the order that looters will be shot. Unfortunately, it seems that this is all that the "community" understands.

This goes to show America of the mentality of these lowly s**tmaggot thugs and what was done "in the memory of Michael Brown". What was accomplished with what was looted/burned/destroyed/vandalized? The mommies and daddies (yea, right) did an excellent job in raising their sweet little babies. Violence doesn't solve anything. Out of the 61 arrested last night, the youngest was 17 and the oldest was 66.

Things will be so different tonight with the Police/NG presence.

Some folks do not want to be confused by factual evidence. They have already made up their minds. Once again I blame the mainstream media and their untruthful propaganda for agitating the rioters who were well prepared to tear up the town as they did. Some rioters appeared to be celebrating an excuse to commit arson and loot.

We have been monitoring the situation since last night on two laptops since my wife agency may be called into there after two weeks of this; a few moments ago, a person that has been one of the most outspoken against the police was just on a local channel decrying that the police should have made more of a presence last night. Seriously? Now, get ready for it, he asked the more fortunate citizens to go onto the "I love Ferguson" websites and donate money to help rebuild. Just another of the underprivileged welfare receiving local trash needing a handout instead of really solving the problem.

There is an axiom in the media that more people will listen to an argument than to an intelligent discussion, that being said the media presence in Ferguson, MO assured me that here would be violent demonstrations. Whether they were in celebration of an indictment or in protest of no charges there would be something for the media.

While I do not always agree with the police, I would not want to live in a world with out them

First of all, the rioters did not come to a conclusion because by saying that, you give them credit for the ability to think rationally. They are a mob, and reacting emotionally.

Second, the police were too lenient IMHO in that numerous buildings were burned down ...ie they failed to protect.

I also think that if a investigative agency could get past the PC, they would find the riots were organized by someone or a group of like minded lefties. Most likely the usual suspects including the America-haters who basically want to burn the system down and start over.

Someone who lost property in the riots should sue the Rev Al while they're at it ... for incitement.

I was watching last night as the decision was read and the detail that was given regarding the event. Yet, one news person reported that she believed that the grand jury got it wrong due to the "preponderance of of evidence" showing that excessive force was used against Michael Brown. I thought it was extremely irresponsible of her to present media reports and opinions as evidence and fact. The grand jury's decision was based on facts, not emotion and pressure from the public or political leaders.

Here we go again, our poor country.

19 years from the OJ verdict, and the so-called issues are not improved one iota.

Those that feed the frenzy are criminals themselves. Political and movement leaders, and the general Media.

A 2012 study by the Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention revealed that in 2010 black youths committed six times more murders, three times more rapes, 10 times more robberies and three times more assaults than did their white counterparts.

Similar statistics were released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the “Uniform Crime Reports.” They determined, “In the year 2008, black youths, who make up 16% of the youth population, accounted for 52% of juvenile violent crime arrests, including 58% for homicide and 67% for robbery.” By contrast, the only categories where white youths surpassed blacks were in liquor law violations and driving under the influence.

The black community might want to focus on parenting skills and the education of their youth. This is precisely why law enforcement must confront that community to such a degree. And precisely why Mike Brown lost his life - due to his actions and unwise decisions.

But - sure blame the law enforcement . They are not perfect of course, but must do the job we ask of them. MLK is rolling over, probably ashamed of the events.

The reasoning total escapes me. 61 people that probably did not know Brown are in jail, headed for court with a public defender, facing fines, time, probation, loss of job, no weed and time to review the value of MLK JRs teaching of the benefits of riots (civil unrest).

The people that will show up tonight will have to bring supplies to last the night because they burn and looted the stores in the area last night.

I took pictures of the Detroit riot while the smoke was still rising with jeeps driving around with 50 caliber machine guns mounted on the back. The buildings were not just burned out, they caved in. To this day I do not understand.

The reason for doing it is apples and the solution is oranges.

After the "war on poverty" and billions spent in that war and legislation to improve race relations in America what has changed? Not all rioters were black, few actually cared about the Grand Jury's verdict, fewer listened to the President and Clergy who asked for peaceful demonstrations, the looting and destruction of businesses trying to serve the community went unabated. So what can I conclude? There is an element within our country that have as a goal the destruction of our nation and they take any situation to fan the flames of their hateful objective.

That was my first thought too, Bogie. But then I heard on some news reports last night that they wanted to give the schoolchildren and working families the time to get home to avoid what they thought might be a further disaster if they were on the streets/roads when the verdict was announced. It probably also gave any businesses that are still operating in that area a chance to shut down and the workers to go home. From that perspective, I think it may have been a wise decision.

I was in the Maryland Army National Guard and called up, stationed in the 5th Regiment Armory in downtown Baltimore, during the riots in the late sixties. I saw a lot of what happened up close.

Frankly, the behavior of a certain segment of society has not changed. All the welfare, war on poverty, and so on ad nauseam, down the drain and nothing has changed. Bottom line: We taxpayers pick up the tab, again and again and again, endlessly, regardless of outcomes.

I noted the wording of the story on Yahoo this morning. "Grand Jury fails to indict officer". (Emphasis mine.) How is that in any way a failure? The grand jury did its job.

And the comments that the outcome was predetermined because there were 9 whites and only 3 blacks on the jury, as if no white would vote for indictment and no black would vote for no indictment.

This could be debated ad nauseum but my whole take on it was the media and how they kept a focus on it. We saw it twice here in Florida in the last 5 years. I can't speak to the race issue...having been brought up in the midwest, small town and pretty much white community. I don't have close friends who aren't the same as me. I think this race thing is truly complicated and there are two sides to how it has played out. I hope and pray that this can at least die down and be back to a new normal in that community. Justice was served by the Grand Jury!

This is a primary example of what happens when the government over reaches.
The Civil Rights Laws of 1964 set in motion what was needed to level the playing field but pols couldn't leave it at that. No they not only started out by carrying the ball for the so called protected classes but eventually passed laws so that a ball was no longer needed to score.

The Ferguson police department is negotiating his departure from their staff. People like him, that get exonerated, have a way of self-destructing...think OJ Simpson and George Zimmerman.

IMO, Wilson's only hope for a future would be to change his name and appearance and move to some far-away place.

Was his life so bad that he wanted to commit suicide by cop? Unfortunately, Mr. Wilson was called upon to provide the service. No winners here!

Four Ways Officer Darren Wilson And The Ferguson Police Could Still Be Held Accountable In Court | ThinkProgress (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/11/25/3596751/four-ways-officer-darren-wilson-and-the-ferguson-police-could-still-be-held-accountable-in-court/)

Had Darren Wilson not shot and defended himself, he would be dead.

The mob in the street doesn't care what the evidence said, they wanted him indicted. Mobs are ignorant, emotional and cowardly. Had we given the mob some rope, led by Rev. Al, I'm sure they would have been happy to lynch the police officer from the nearest tree.

So now the police officer's life is ruined because he was doing his job. Yes, Brown is dead but he was also committing a felony at the time of his death. My overall feeling ... If I was a cop in St. Louis and had the power, I would designate certain areas of the city "police free zones' and then let the residents have at it.

And I wonder why inner city residents complain that there are no businesses there to serve them? Duh

I'm not sure a special prosecutor would change the outcome, Bogie. I served on a grand jury for 6 months. It was the prosecutor's job to bring cases to us, but we had broad powers to ask for witnesses and experts to explain things and go over evidence. The prosecutor almost served as more of an assistant to us. In fact, we had the ability to hear evidence/testimony on cases we wished to hear, that the prosecutor did even offer up. I'm sure there are differences from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction. My point is that the members of a hand jury play a very active role in a case, not the passive role one sees on television before a judge.

I see one major difference. This grand jury was a specific case grand jury. The one I served on dealt with more cases over a longer period.

From what I have heard it appears that presentation was likely very similar. I gather that because of comments from the Brown family attorneys who chastised the prosecutor for not taking what they described as a more aggressive role in efforts to sway the jury members. It sounds like the prosecutor was neutral in his presentation....as was my experience.

Right, the actions of a few, and I repeat, I don't condemn an entire race for those few. I'd sure like to see your statistics on the percentage of blacks rioting vis-a-vis the black population. And why wouldn't blacks be predominant in a race riot? They are the ones who had to work their way up from slavery to freedom.

The police would agree with that. And boy do I wish that your thoughts applied to all, but as you know they do not.

Not just race relations, but in politics as well.

BUT, consider that on the media, thus far from what I have heard, there is very little criticism of the folks who burned down a town and changed their lives in a negative way forever. Criticism reserved for POLICE for planning and shooting down blacks for NO reason....OFFICIALS of the city and state for their management of the grand jury and the announcement and so on. Looters come out pretty good

Oh and by the way, Mr Brown is being treated with respect...much more than allowed Ferguson citizens, the police ALL of them being taken down as A GROUP

As another poster alluded to, if only Mr Brown had not stolen the cigars and not attacked the policeman, the city would still be there.....the insurance companies making money and contractors getting in line to try and rebuild the city.

Had the media reported the incident objectively, the shooting probably would have been pretty much a non-event. Instead of headlines like "Convenience-store robber killed as he attacks cop", we were deluged by headlines like "Cop guns down unarmed black teenager." The reporting that followed these headlines was similar in tone.

I have CNN News on right now, and the distorted reporting continues.

Everyone has been blamed but the one person! This boy would be alive today if he had not stole the box of cigars! !

This thread is about to be closed. But why you ask?

Because users are directing comments at other users and making political references. When it takes too much time to prune out all the violators we close it down which is not what we desire so we ask for everyone's cooperation to have an adult conversation accordingly.

Thanks in advance,

TOTV Team

[QUOTE=Walter123;972684]This thread won't last long before it gets shut down.

This was in the second post on this thread. It lasted way longer than I thought it would.

What's there to be said anyway?

Pive... I stand by my original statement and so disagree with yours. Facts?
