Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown after they fought for control of the officers gun and after Brown moved toward Wilson as they faced off in the street, according to interviews, news accounts and the full report of the St. Louis County autopsy of Browns body.
Because Wilson is white and Brown was black, the case has ignited intense debate over how police interact with African American men. But more than a half-dozen unnamed black witnesses have provided testimony to a St. Louis County grand jury that largely supports Wilsons account of events of Aug. 9, according to several people familiar with the investigation who spoke with The Washington Post.
Some of the physical evidence including blood spatter analysis, shell casings and ballistics tests also supports Wilsons account of the shooting, The Posts sources said, which cast Brown as an aggressor who threatened the officers life. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they are prohibited from publicly discussing the case.

If only they could influence the culture of the Hood!
Maybe they’ve got another white on black case ready to roll out.
Trayvon was getting stale when Ferguson came along. They were forced to keep that on life support for way too long.
Brown’s lawyer was quoted in an article here a few days ago as saying that he didn’t see any value in the forensic evidence, and he would depend on `eyewitness testimony’.
I’m curious whether his eyewitnesses’ recorded transcript testimony jives with the incontrovertible forensic evidence; e.g. “You said you witnessed the entire event. Did you ever see Michael Brown in the police car?”
Forensic evidence, done scientifically, isn’t mistaken & it doesn’t lie: FE has no ax to grind.
So it looks like the family’s attorney may be planning on winning in voir dire—jury selection—like the OJ Simpson lawyers: impugning state witnesses, histrionics and a direct appeal to the jurors’ prejudices.
Every failure by the BU is explained away by the libs as due to white racism. According to libs, no black has ever committed a crime or one that wasn't caused by the perfidious presence of white racism. Like every shooting of a black thug by the cops, the Dummies are claiming planting of evidence and lying by the police. I doubt we'll ever come to any agreement. Time to separate.
That ship has sailed many decades ago. There is no changing the culture of the Black Underclass short of radical measures that many would consider unconstitutional i.e. segregation, deportation, sterilization. Tougher law enforcement measures against ghetto thugs is the only immediate and constitutional answer, and even that will be fought tooth and nail by the liberals.
* First scenario is a white motorist whose car ran out of gasoline in an all-black neighborhood and he must walk to go find an open service station to purchase fuel.

I am convinced that Democrats have been actively fanning the flames of Ferguson since the incident in an effort to nationalize the event and motivate the Black constituency to get out and vote.

You are so right. But, I think, the fanning of the flames is meant to go beyond the election, as well, to keep people stirred up and hating, as the left takes us ever deeper into a dictatorship.
Exactly. And the Dem candidate in Georgia used Ferguson as well. This simply provides more evidence to my post #11.
