People across the country reacted sharply to the decision by a grand jury not to indict a white Missouri police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, with protesters taking to the streets in cities from Oakland to New York.
St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch announced the grand jury had chosen not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who gunned down Michael Brown, 18, on a street in Ferguson on Aug. 9. The grand jury had options from first-degree murder to no charge at all.
In New York, protesters held up a poster reading "Black Lives Matter." In Oakland, about 100 demonstrators marched to the police department, local media reported.
"The racism in this acquittal is breathtaking. THIS MUST NOT STAND. We must stand up collectively. DEMAND JUSTICE," tweeted CODEPINK, a social justice, grassroots movement.
"My thoughts are with family of Michael Brown and the Ferguson community. I'm echoing their calls for peace / nonviolence," tweeted Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.....

I will beleive them when they stand outside of Planned Parenthood with that poster.
Here’s hoping Officer Wilson and his new bride are already en route to a new home in a decidedly non-diverse neighborhood, far from Missouri.
Good point. So stop killing each other.
LOL!
I think there were three blacks on the grand jury.
That caught my eye too.
The so-called journalist who wrote that should be fired.
I guess the truth doesn't fit NBC's agenda.
The vast , vast majority of Americans, even with the little evidence that had come out, agree with the Grand Jury. That’s what the polls are saying. Their verdict was a non-brainer. The race baiters should be ashamed of themselves. The jury had two African-Americans on it. Any other conclusion would have been ridiculous given what the perpetrator was doing.
The grand jury had options from first-degree murder to no charge at all.
Was a bit surprised the jury did not chose to charge him with involuntary manslaughter just to cover their sixes and gain some more time while a trail took place, so they could say “not my fault eh”, but I congratulate them on their courage
Time to crank down on the gangsta’ culture and move away from the idea that blacks are a seperate culture requiring special consideration.
They cry for equality but want special treatment.
Time for them to decide if they are Americans or just an insignificant but iritating pimple on the nation’s butt.
How about, "Pants up! Don't loot!"
Wilson took out the trash....Nuff said....
Ditto. Thanks GJ.
To NBC, CodePink is some kind of “social justice, grassroots movements”.
To intelligence people CodePink is a Marxist movement led by two Castro and Chavez lovers Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans (Evans is the moneybags. Reportedly gets it from her multimillionaire skanky old ex-husband. Details are reportedly lurid and sickening.
CodePink leaders are hardcore reds but some of their followers are the losers of the Women’s Movement. You have to have seen and talked to them to know that many of them are mentally ill - delusional, possibly psychotic, paranoid, and are generally skaggy in appearance and personality.
But then again, so is NBC, which would explain why they never tell the truth about the Left.
Take a look at the NY Daily News Headline:
KILLER COP NOT CHARGED
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing —a good night to get to bed early with a good book.
That ass Bill O’Reilly called it “murder” a couple of hours ago.
