The pissants at the UN should focus on Fallujah not Ferguson.

Reported by a Venezuelan news agency.

At this point I'm going to reserve judgement about whether Mrs McSpadden is even really going to Geneva. Maybe she is, but I'll believe it when I hear it from another source, preferably one in Switzerland.

a violent, drug-using thief

But do MO people, who repudiated Todd Aiken over a misspoken word or two, believe that?

If they live inside the leftist bubble and rely on the MSM for their news, many probably do not. Either they will have heard nothing negative about Brown, or they will have been told that the evidence against him was faked. We'll be able to measure the effectiveness of the left's propaganda by the size of the upcoming riots.

As for Aiken, he was repudiated by quite a few on the right, too. What happened to him was unfair, but if you can't play the political game better than he played it, you shouldn't be on the field. After his name became radioactive he should have dropped out of the race.

The Swiss would no more buy that crap than they would a Cambodian watch.

This has nothing to do with the Swiss. Geneva is the second largest UN administrative city after NY. The leaders of these UN organizations are from all over the world, either from western nations where they made a career of international development, or from third world nations where they started as local UN staff and worked their way up and out of their respective hell-holes.

This is all about stirring up strife in America. It's all about a victim mindset instead of a responsibility mindset. The UN won't do anything, but this is actually a brilliant strategy to gain publicity and stir up their base.

I once visited the HR department of one of these UN agencies in Geneva. I was told they are looking to hire Americans as they like to hire staff in proportion to the nation's support of the UN. So they say they'd like 22% Americans, but the actual number is well below that.

I don't think we will ever know.

Then he shouldn't be indicted, arrested, or convicted.

* * * *

The standard for an arrest without a warrant requires only probable cause that the suspect committed a crime, and does not require 100% knowledge that the suspect committed the crime.

The standard for an indictment doesn't require determination that the suspect is guilty without a doubt. (First, there's the issue of grand jury indictment v. prosecutor's discretion v. preliminary hearing v. no required unanimous grand jury vote v. standard of grand jury to bring indictment v. standard under which prosecutor should seek indictment v. no adversarial system in grand jury v. kitchen sink. That's first.)

The standard for a criminal conviction requires only guilt 'beyond a reasonable doubt,' and not guilt beyond all doubt

Ergo, neither arrest, indictment, nor conviction, nor the combination of all of the above, requires that we know, or will ever know the absoulute guilt of the suspect/defendant.

I'm willing to arrest, indict, and convict without 100% knowledge. That's part of our judicial system.

Hey, I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that there might be one or two mixed-race Swiss police somewhere in the country.

And yet, the probable cause that a crime was committed seems to be sadly lacking.

You don’t arrest someone because a bunch of racist idiots threaten to riot

You might be willing to convict on less than 100% certainty, but I am not willing to convict on less than 50% certainty. If law enforcement thought there was a reasonable chance that a jury would convict, Officer Wilson would be in a cell this minute.
