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

They want Zimbabwe.
They demand the ability to commit crimes without consequence. They are a party to theft from the taxpayers and would like to extend that to everything else. They Would like the ability to declare that whites have no rights to anything and that they can behave as the royalty they believe they are
And just what kind of justice system do they seek? It sounds like they favor the system used in the French Revolution - guillotine, mob rule and all.
Justice bees whut we wants it to bee!

What YOU percieve from your agernda to be a miscarraige of justice but what the law says was not and what most Americans beleive was not.
Yes!
1. More range practice for police so it doesn't take 12 rounds to bring down an attacking 300-pound, doped-up strong-arm robber.
2. Arrest, indict, try, convict, and sentence racists, including the fifth-column MSM, who develop plans or incite people to riot, loot, and burn public or private property, or block roads.
I call for systemic changes in civil rights groups.
It was racist for Prosecutor Robert McCulloch to present all the evidence to the grand jury.
He was expected to withhold any evidence that would support Michael Brown’s criminality and officer Wilson’s innocence.
Eric Holder will probably be taking corrective action soon.

The media and groups such as yours have been in the fore front of a High Tech Lynching of Wilson. It's despicable, inaccurate, and totally lacking even a smidgen of humanity.
There has been a miscarriage of justice, but only with respect to officer Wilson. It's just another example of the hate and bigotry that people like you have for White Police Officers.
Just an extension of the current push by Eric Holder to force schools to reduce disciplinary action against black trouble makers.
The only change I want to see is having looters shot.
This may be the whole reason the Ferguson story was written for. Fundamental “change” of our police and court system, to make it “fair and just” using a new definition of those terms.
Holder once said he wanted a federal presence in each police station.
THis is another step in creating Transformed America.

The LCCRUL has become a parody of itself, as has the entire Civil Rights Movement. The real leaders of the 1960’s Movement have been replaced by those who are against civility and in favor of riots and mindless destruction and who are against rights and in favor of bigoted collectivism.
You joke about it, but these people really believe this crap. They really think Mike Brown was an innocent unarmed kid gunned down by a racist white cop.
I’m not kidding - this is the new meme being spread now by every black “journalist”. Have you seen CNN lately? Thy should call themselves the “Black Victim Channel” cuz that’s all it is now.
Not one damn mention of Brown’s robbery just before, drug use, or disobeying a cop’s direction - just “unarmed black teen”, “racist system”, blah blah blah, 24/7.
It’s all a lie and it’s sickening. How many people are being brainwashed by this crap?
I find it interesting that Foreigners, even those who came here not speaking English, seem to assimilate within a Generation, but America’s Black Population hasn’t succeeded in doing the same in the 150 Years since Slavery was abolished.
Hey.... Happy Thanksgiving.
You said...
“Have you seen CNN lately?”
No
And judging by their ratings, most Americans haven’t either
I wasn't joking.
There are a lot of influential media talking heads insinuating, directly or indirectly, that it was the prosecutors job to seek an indictment by hook or by crook rather than to seek justice.
I believe I recall even Juan Williams touching on the subject.
