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.

Late, as usual

Me too. I grew up in NYC, and I still remember standing in Riverside Park with the cop - a young guy (well, I thought he was ancient then) with red hair - tapping his nightstick in his hand and telling us kids that if we didn’t stop throwing rocks at each other, he’d really give us something to cry about! It worked, we certainly weren’t the best of friends afterwards, but at least we went home to mother without any damage.

Obama has no business speaking about this. I pray he will only call for peace.

As the prosecutor was leaving the room, you could hear a reporter say something like: “do you sleep well at night?” or something like that.

Unless he comes out and says Wilson did nothing wrong he should go away.
