As the cliché goes, you can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich. That means the evidence in this case didn't even amount to a ham sandwich.
The grand jury was composed of 12 people “selected at random from a fair cross-section of the citizens,” according to Missouri law. The jury was 75 percent white: six white men, three white women, two black women and one black man. St. Louis County overall is 70 percent white, but about two-thirds of Ferguson’s residents are black. Brown was black. The officer is white.
Does anybody know how the decision went? And how the blacks in the jury voted?
Justified police shootings don’t even get to grand juries. Prosecutor has discretion not to take the case further. That’s the real travesty here. The authorities gave into rioters and the false narrative (lies) that started immediately after the shooting have blacks upset. They never bothered to look at the actual facts of the case because the slogans are so much easier.
It was a political witch hunt from the get-go McCullough had to bring the evidence to the GJ or get crucified. As it progressed he knew it didn’t have a chance in hell, but his butt was covered The bigots got their day in court and they still bitch about it
