So he’s saying the grand jury won’t indict because of their racial makeup, not because of the facts.
It was an uphill battle getting Jesus on the cross but the media managed it.
And the media’s learned a lot in the last two thousand years.
Don’t sell yourself short Jake...
Why knot?
Maybe his network can help by putting out the addresses of the jurors and photos of their houses.
Film of the “gentle giant” throwing around that liquor store clerk like a rag doll...a young woman who’s appeared on TV saying there was a physical confrontation between the cop and the punk...the photos of the cop’s facial injuries don’t bode well for a successful prosecution.
Well Jake, we know you’ll give it your all.
“Unfortunately for Missouri, murder trails do not hinge on the threats of local politicians.”
Some don’t.
The Leftist Mafia is working to lynch the Police Officer.
How does a grand Jury indict someone?
I presume a vote is taken, but does it have to be unanimous? How many votes does it take?
Can you imagine the hell the black jurors will have to go through if everyone on the jury votes not to indict?
In time, everyone will know who the blacks were, so at least one, or maybe two, have to vote to indict to provide cover.
Why on earth do people have to blame everything on race.
If the man was trying to surrender he wouldn’t have beat cop, and its extremely unlikely he would have started the fight in the first place.
Indeed there is no rational reason to believe the beat up cop would kill anyone on the account of race. Black in this country seem to be taught to think of everything in terms of race and blame every problem and judgement on their race.
Almost nobody else thinks that way anymore.
Hugh Hewitt calls this guy a fair journalist. I am not sure I agree. He is only in it for himself. Truth is not the measure of a “journalist” any more.
Tapper observed that the grand jury hearing the details of the case is made up of three African-Americans and nine whites, suggesting that the demographic most incensed by the teen’s killing are underrepresented.
*************
How typical of Tapper. The Grand Jury is pulled from the County, not the city. The County is 23% black and the GJ is 25% black, so they are not under represented.
Unfortunately? Is Jake Tapper rooting for the lynch mob?
Murder trails?
Hey Jake, proofread your screeds!
A vigorous prosecution!
The left doesn’t want him tried they want him punished. It’s not about evidence.
What do Obamacare, illegal immigration, and Ferguson have in common?
The left’s preferred outcome is a violation of the Rule of Law.
The next step in the Left’s agenda requires undermining the Rule of Law. We are a nation of laws not men, but that doesn’t square with the socialist agenda of putting men in charge. So. Here we are. To get from here to there, the Left must destroy the Rule of Law.
Stop trying to think that if the law is on the side of the cop, that common sense will prevail. THAT is precisely what is under attack here.
Conviction? They haven’t had a trial. They haven’t even had an investigation.
People who are "most incensed" are SUPPOSED to be "underrepresented" on a grand jury.
Damn - I hate to see an innocent man go unpunished......
Blacks make up 13% of the US population. How is 25% "underrepresented"?
Based on my own recent jury duty summons, I don't think that even 2% of the jury pool was African American. Based on county demographics, that's a small fraction of the number that should have been called.
