The nation's largest group of African-American attorneys and judges is calling for federal charges to the filed against the police officer cleared in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager.

The National Bar Association released a statement questioning the lack of an indictment against Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson. A 12-member grand jury declined to indict Wilson, and some groups are pressing the White House to move forward with a Civil Rights investigation.

Attorney General Eric Holder told NPR there is not a timeline for the federal investigation but said they "will be conducted rigorously and in a timely manner so that we can move forward as expeditiously as we can to restore trust, to rebuild understanding, and to foster cooperation between law enforcement and community members."(continued)

I am so sick of this crap. Uneducated or just plain dumb people. IT IS NOT A CRIME TO DEFEND YOURSELF. . . . EVEN IF YOU ARE A WHITE POLICEMAN.
To Mama Brown: Look at the video of your precious little BOY. The tell me he would never hurt anybody.
If you and daddy Brown had brought you child up to respect the law he would be alive. In jail but alive.

You would think that a bunch of lawyers would have some respect for the rule of law, instead of falling back to "feelings."

Would you not like to see the objective basis of their statement? They must be led by Sharpton and Jackson!

I agree they want a race war! I really believe people in our country need to pray. We need God. This is getting out of control.

The comment is directed at the bar association members of others trying to keep stirring this up. They need to settle down before they REALLY get it going.

Are you sure God, being thrown out of our society many years ago, isn't just going to leave it up to us and let the chips fall where they may?

More crimes mean more arrests.
More arrests mean more indictments.
More indictments mean more trials.
More trials mean more work for lawyers.
More work for lawyers means more money in lawyers’ pockets.

No justice, no cash!

It appears Mr. Wilson’s horrible experience living under a racist, totalitarian, left-wing regime is not over.
