NAACP President Cornell William Brooks said he was "concerned" about the forthcoming grand jury decision in the Michael Brown shooting case because the prosecutor failed to act upon previous complaints about the Ferguson, Missouri police department and didn't give the jurors sufficient instructions.

"We have a prosecutor who had five complaints filed with the Justice Department concerning his police department by the NAACP. He failed to take action. This was before Mike Brown. He then conducts a grand jury, a process where he essentially dumps evidence into the laps of the grand jury with little direction. So are we concerned? Yes," Brooks said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.

"But we need to be clear here," he added....The police have the greatest responsibility to keep peace and order and to behave in a fashion that encourages non-violence, not to agitate the situation."

The police aren't going to do anything until the rioting begins; you want them to turn their backs?

Why aren’t these NAALCP people out there helping the Ferguson “protest leader” find her stolen Saturn that has a quarter of a million miles and two bumper stickers on it? Hmmmm? They should so something useful with their lives and help make Ferguson “a better place”.

>>Without RACISM, these parasites would have nothing to milk for money.<<

1) Complaining about White Police Officers is what blacks DO. It is both their entertainment and their first line of legal defense.

2) The Grand Jury is investigating Officer Wilson, not the Ferguson PD.

The NAHP (national association of holder’s people) is nothing but a bunch of rassists.

We want our Black Ferguson kids to be able to loot and riot without any interference by the police, so either railroad an innocent police officer who simply defended his life from an amok attacker or we’ll tear down the entire city.

WTF? “...”We have a prosecutor who had five complaints filed with the Justice Department concerning his police department by the NAACP. He failed to take action....”

So if the NAACP files a complaint with the Justice Dept. then it is the “prosecutor,” but not the Mayor, not the City Council, not the police chief, who are responsible?

Doesn't anyone understand how government operates? I mean you would think that the reporter would at least ask the question of why the hell is the prosecutor to blame in the minds of the NAACP.

I'm sorry they now that there isn't going to be any charges of consequence against the policeman and so now they are scratching the surface to find a scapegoat to blame. How truly sad that this passes for news.

Why do I get the feeling that the only thing these guys are concerned about is the possibility that they do indict Wilson?

The NAACP files hundreds of complaints a year against anyone and everyone in authority . It is what they do.

Any of these complaints found to have merit get investigated, but they get tend to get lost in all the BS complaints that flood in daily from these hustlers. .

Grand Jury is mad up of 9 honkeys, 3 blacks; 6 men, 6 women.

Here in Cincinnati a black judge was convicted of a lesser charge out of several. The jury was also 9-3 ...white to black. Here, the blacks went back in their communities and must have been called sellouts because one by one they charged they really didn’t mean to vote yes for conviction but instead were pressured. The overseeing judge had no part of it and won’t do a retrial.

I suspect the racial makeup was purposefully done in Ferguson so the jurors will say similar things and Holder can use for racial bias.

“We want our Black Ferguson kids to be able to loot and riot without any interference by the police”.

Read an article earlier today stating some businesses such as jewelry and gun stores have acquired the services of security companies who utilize ex special op’s guys. That could be interesting.....
