St. Louis County Prosecutor Defends Objectivity

It was a summer evening 50 years ago when a knife-wielding kidnapper made the kind of malevolent move that defines a boy for life: The kidnapper snatched a police officer’s gun and used it to kill a canine officer, leaving 12-year-old Robert P. McCulloch without his father.

The boy would grow up with dreams of becoming a police officer, too, but a few years after his father’s death, those hopes were scuttled when cancer claimed his right leg. He went on to become the St. Louis County prosecutor instead.

I am shocked and dismayed that the liberals and race baiters want him taken off the case. Before he has even done any review of evidence, made any decisions about proceeding in any way, the liberals want him gone.

Is their lust for blood and the cop’s head on a pike, such that they can’t let the system of justice, and procedures therein, take their normal course of events???? What exactly are we seeing here? A lynch mob which can’t be bothered with the rule of law???? That’s what it looks like to me.

A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.
And, a jury decides the guilt or innocence of the defendant.
Brown’s disciples seem to have their caps set for a lynching.

The "race baiters" want a hanging now ,.... the trial will occur later .
Sounds like a demand from Jay Nixon, Rev(?)AL , Rev(?) Jessie, and Shabazz, and the rest of the Out-of-Towners.
Last I knew, grand jury issues an indictment as to 'probable cause' whether a crime occurred , trial to follow a thurough investigation
to determine guilt or innocenece, and penalty , if any , to be mposed.
Nixon et al. want the hanging first to placate the "30 second sound bytes" and the 'ill informed' ; regardless , the FEDs remain in the wings .

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Jay Nixon sounds like a "knee-jerk" elected official
It sounds like he needs replacement , rather than responding to the " The Mob" .
Expect Grand Jury decision right before the Fall elections.
Just more "knee-Jerk" politics for the un-informed. !!

The "race baiters" want a hanging now ,.... the trial will occur later .

If they actually got “a hanging,” as they so ardently demand, that would create a martyr for their opponents. What they actually want, and will have, is a trial which ultimately (even if only after appeals) “lets the guilty SOB off scot-free.” Leaving them with the martyrdom of St. Michael Brown to go along with the martyrdom of St. Trayvon.

Wilson is toast, he will be sacrificed to the mob.
It’s not like it hasn’t been done before.

April 30, 1992 President George Bush announces that he has ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the possibility of filing charges against the LAPD officers for violating the federal civil rights of Rodney King.

August 4, 1992 A federal grand jury returns indictments against the four officers.

April 16, 1993 The federal jury convicts Koon and Powell on one charge of violating King’s civil rights. Wind and Briseno are found not guilty. No disturbances follow the verdict.

The kidnapper snatched a police officer’s gun and used it to kill a canine officer

Sound familiar???

[SoFloFreeper]

I think Darren Wilson will not be convicted.

I think Eric the Red and Obamugabe will use this to political advantage, but aren’t going to be able to build a legal case against him of any worth.

And will fool their constitutents—constituents who, to the extent they ARE educated, are educated in poorly run public schools that put teachers unions ahead of children’s education.

Although I don’t think this case should go to trial, based on what few “facts” have leaked out through the minutia of personal opinion, I would almost want to see it end up in court where the real facts would be presented for all to see. The witnesses would be forced to testify under oath and all the rumors about shooting in the back would be put to rest. This would go farther to easing the tensions in the community than if there were no trial. However, having said that, there is always a possibility that a jury could find differently than I would expect and a possible innocent man would be found guilty. Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out for sure.

“What exactly are we seeing here? A lynch mob which can’t be bothered with the rule of law???”

Yepper! IMO, the DA will do a very good job and the “Street Rats” know it. Getting the DA removed will allow them to get their precious "Saint Mike Brown" to become their martyr. (Martyr: a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, including believing one to be innocent)

[DaveA37]

“The witnesses would be forced to testify under oath”.....

Does anyone think the Street Rats will tell the REAL truth? I have HUGE doubts because their “truths” are most heavily tainted, it happens all the time. Most of the Street Rats don’t know the difference between truth or fiction.
