In the wake of the Nov. 24 decision by a Missouri grand jury to not press charges against the White officer responsible for killing an unarmed African-American teen, a coalition of civil groups presented a unified front in its denouncement of the decision and its call for systemic changes to the American justice system.
“We are profoundly disappointed with the miscarriage of justice that occurred last night,” Barbara Arnwine, executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said during a press call on Nov. 25.
Although the Ferguson grand jury did not indict Darren Wilson, she added, “There was an indictment of our unjust criminal justice system…there was an indictment of the Ferguson Police Department’s conduct of this investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown; an indictment of Prosecutor [Robert] McCulloch, for the way in which he has conducted this entire investigation, including the decision to have Officer Wilson testify before the grand jury; and an indictment of law enforcement in Missouri which has been disgraceful in its over-militarization [and] its rampant disregard for our constitutional rights.”
Arnwine voiced the shared concerns of civil rights leaders over the way McCulloch handled the presentation of the grand jury’s decision—the lateness of the press conference, his vilification of pro-Brown witnesses and the overall combative tone.
“We found that Mr. McCulloch’s presentation of the decision was incendiary and inflammatory, that was designed to inflame…and provoke an angry response from the Ferguson community,” Arnwine said.
The group shared several short-term and long-term strategies for moving forward, beginning by calling on the Department of Justice to continue its investigations into Darren Wilson and the Ferguson Police Department.
Cornell Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP, said the organization was “deeply disappointed” with the outcome and announced the organization’s own plans to effect

Get a real job losers!
Uh, how about no? Justice obviously works.
The only injustice is all the Ferguson rioters getting away with millions upon millions of damages.
If I had a business in Ferguson, honestly I might have burnt my own store to the ground, collected insurance and left. Not very honest, but what can you do?
Translation: ‘We want criminals based on the racial makeup of the USA. It is racists that more blacks are committing crimes and we have more people in jail.
yawn
These people can FOAD.
How about we trash the legal system and replace it with the “Law of the gun” you morons?
so if you think about it, it boils down to this.
people can talk about, and have an opinion about a jury or grand jury’s decision. but, whatever decision they make is “correct”, because we have said, we put the decision to twelve of our peers. and then we accept it.
so, these people are saying either they want to change that (to what, exactly), or, and I’m sure this is what they want, making a decision that is politically expedient.
Civil Rights Under Law - CRUL - pronounced like cruel
Turn off the EBT cards and watch the filthy commies go berserk.
I wonder if they think O.J. Simpson got a fair shake.
Joining the losers is NOT the answer...
Oddly enough, these are the same folks who would lie to
see a “systemic” transformation of our government too.
Funny how that happens...
Actually, that should be “like to see” but I’m sure they
would lie to achieve their aims also, as we have already
seen them do.
All of this walking on eggshells so as not to offend the NAACP and the thugs is emboldening them.
There. I fixed it.
These are the just black version of Gruber.
It’s really hard to not want the death of all these liars. It’s only because of my faith in God that I choose to beg for forgiveness for their sins.
I saw Crump saying that there should always be an indictment when a black man is killed.
Basically presumed guilty.
