REBECCA KAPLAN August 17, 2014, 12:42 PM NAACP president: Special prosecutor "critically important" in Ferguson
NAACP President Cornell Brooks said it is "critically important" that a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate the death of Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was shot by a white police officer last week.
Browns' death has resulted in a week of clashes between protesters and police in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., even as Gov. Jay Nixon attempted to restore the peace by instituting a curfew over the weekend.

The very folks who instilled into these poor communities how to learn the path of going around the federal programs to get on the government dole. Now, those same poor people can’t find work. Wonder why. People don’t use the word planation master for nothing. Young black males have no future on the streets. So, why isn’t this goody 2 shoes going where the problem began. Oh, he’s part of the problem. Silly, me. He’s a front man and that’s why we criticize him.
After his performance at the news conference a couple of days ago...I'd impeach him...
I think many in Ferguson would prefer his head on a pike in the center of Da Hood...
I don't see how this police officer isn't eventually indicted...
Personally, just based on what I have read...they might have a decent case for negligent homicide or manslaughter...
Of course, I don't have all the facts as if that actually matters...
The NAACP gave big awards to that eeeeeevil Donald Stirling, owner of the “LA Clippers”, right? Yes, I know it was the LA chapter, but my point remains....logic left that organization when it went Democrat.
All in good time...
That 6'-4" 300-pound hood was "unarmed," only by the most absurd definition imanigeable.
Enough with the "unarmed teen" BS already!
I thought the perp had been killed. Why do we still need to prosecute him?
Maybe the “Department of We-Side-With-Thugs” run by Eric Holder can step in, grab some guys shirt, shove him around a little - and see if that ‘helps’ get a special prosecutor faster.
I think your scenario is probably pretty close to what happened...
That being said...The police officer will be indicted...
Holder and company will make sure he is...
What the verdict will be...????
