A grand jury has reached a decision on whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson, Mo. police officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager sparked days of turbulent protests, sources close to the process said.

Sources said that press conferences are being prepared by the county prosecutors’ office and the Missouri governor. Those press conferences will likely come later today.

Where are you watching that?

LOL...funny!!!

[Billthedrill]

DU has gone completely illucid:

Yeah, they're complaining because the site has slowed down. It does that with enough FReeper lurkers laughing our collective butts off.

[CodeToad]

The DUmmies think one white killing a black means there is a hunting license for blacks...yet...they don’t say the same think for the 99.999% of blacks killed by other blacks.

[Mears]

And the cops were probably told not to shoot back.

We are living in a world gone mad.

.

[moehoward]

Yeah he did. This DA is rock solid.

[AppyPappy]

What are ya’ll watching?

[Right Ahead]

Who are these reporters asking these ridiculous questions?

[Girlene]

Good statement by the prosecutor until he started sucking up to the thugs about “keep the protests going” crap.

Agreed. He did a good job, but should have cut it off at that point.

From DU: Black people will never be safe in Missouri again. All the white cops are going to be out for blood against all of them. You can't honestly say this is just a minor setback. If you were in Missouri tonight(you obviously couldn't be if you think this is no big deal)would you be able to tell anybody there there was any good reason to fight on? ANY good reason to think the ugliness was EVER going to end? Admit it...hope is dead in that state forever.

I fear we are two separate countries in one. It's like we don't even speak the same language. They don't get it. If my lily white son acted like that, he'd deserve being shot. How much does a cop have to take from dangerous thugs? Brown's BLOOD was on the officer's gun. How to explain that away???

[ExCTCitizen]

It came close if not over 1000...

[kjam22]

Taking questions was stupid...

[MplsSteve]

As much as the police want to maintain order, I suspect that things will get so badly out of control that they’ll have no choice but to pull back and let the urban Amish do their thing.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

He is really having to tolerate these f*ckin’ reporters. Now, this black reporter, standing up, asking the silliest of questions. Laws are for everyone. And, now the Brit? Holy chit! These idiots are in a feeding frenzy!

[wardaddy]

Illucid?

Never heard that word...its the name of a band I think

[Old Sarge]

They want the jurors dead, and they’re trying to green-light their executions at the hands of the feral blacks.

[Jane Long]

0bola will put a stop to the riotin’ and lootin’ any minute, now.

.

NOT.

[corlorde]

I wonder if any of those DU idiots can explain the gentle giant’s DNA on, around, and in the cruiser?

[MagnoliaB]

Truth? Facts? They don’t need no stinkin truth or facts.

[Hulka]

Caught me as I was logging off. . .I have no issue with that IF the national guard was moving in to provide safety and stomp the thugs and shooters, but no NG moving in as far as I can see therefore I fear we might be seeing another LA riot where the police caved and let the rioters run amok and the innocents left to fend for themselves.
