The officer's case is currently being reviewed by a grand jury, which must decide whether or not to indict Wilson by January 2015, though a decision expected within the next several weeks. Amid rampant speculation that the jury will side with Wilson, protesters on site predicted more turmoil in Ferguson in the event of an acquittal.

Authorities estimated that about 200 people gathered outside the Police Department Wednesday. The crowd was largely peaceful, though some members of the crowd knocked over barricades that had been set up to block access to the department's parking lot. A St. Louis County Police spokesman said that when officers attempted to clear the lot, they were "immediately pelted with rocks and bottles."

I am not surprised, but then I am not all that sure he had a “job” prior to it. LOL

Doesn’t matter though, these attacks on citizens defending themselves is pretty bad.

That bunch down there in Ferguson are a bunch of low rent goofballs. They should be considered embarrassing by all self respecting black people.

Yes. That’s how he paid the rent, like the rest of us.

Obama, Holder, the phony Rev. Sharpton, and the race-baiter Rev. Jackson (disgraces to the word Reverend) can be proud of themselves. Rather than preaching tolerance, evidence, and facts they preach racism and end up encouraging the blacks to ruin their community.

"If Wilson is not indicted, we will burn and destroy our neighborhoods, loot our businesses and assault and kill each other!!!"

And the downside would be...?

“Just more reason for the other races to arm themselves with at least 1 handgun and 1 rifle.”

A good defensive shotgun should round out the collection. There’s a reason they call them riot guns.

'Should' being the operative word, in theory.

It's time for America to enough is enough and demand this Ferguson charade is shut down and the Black Grievance Industry needs back down and back off.

Just yesterday, Michael Browns mother and her sisters and cousins beat the crap out of Michael Brown's GRANDMOTHER and members of Granny's side of the family because they were selling Michael Brown T- Shirts and hats and then proceeded to to rob granny of $1400 and seized the T-shirts and caps because they violated Mommy's patents and copyrights on Michael Brown regalia.

These people are greedy, grasping scumbags who are inciting violence and exploiting the death of young black man for personal gain.

It's time America called these s**tbirds on their bad behavior and if necessary, put them in jail and throw away the keys for inciting violence , unrest and riots.

Now it's January? First it was October. Then they moved it to November. What the heck is taking them so long to say, "NO BILL"?

the cop was justified. i’m not a big cop fan but i wouldn’t start bashing one in the face if i was detained by one and go reaching for his weapon. then again i wouldn’t have just strong-armed robbed a convenience store either.
