Racial Politics: Under the Constitution, police have the same rights to due process as citizens. Yet Democratic politicians pandering for urban votes seek to deny Darren Wilson his.
On Tuesday night, on the eve of a grand jury hearing over the Wilson-Michael Brown shooting case, Missouri's Democratic governor, who reportedly has 2016 White House aspirations, delivered a grossly irresponsible address calling for a "vigorous prosecution" of the Ferguson cop, whom he gratuitously noted shot Brown "in broad daylight."
Gov. Jay Nixon also demanded "justice for Michael Brown" and his family, echoing the calls of the looters, protesters and race merchants.
He did not ask for a "vigorous" investigation or "justice" based on the facts. No, he's already rendered a verdict — guilty — further endangering the life of Wilson, who's already received death threats.
"We're very concerned about the due process rights of Darren," Missouri police union President Sgt. Kevin Ahlbrand said, slamming the governor for "rushing to judgment." "You'd think he'd wait before all the facts are in before making his conclusion."
Indeed, one would expect the state's chief executive to be more judicious than the activist liberal press, which has already tried and convicted Wilson. But Nixon might as well have said the grand jury must come down with an indictment.
The railroading of this decorated police officer is all the more disturbing against the unraveling narrative of the mob. It turns out from forensic evidence that Wilson did not shoot Brown in the back, as some oft-quoted witnesses claimed.

Good on IBD for pointing out this obscene abuse of power and the LEO’s Constitutional rights.
I’ve posted before, Gov Nixon is a tool for the lawless Obama regime. He’s a hack for the RAT base. Doubt if he’s frequented Ferguson much since being the Gov. “Gomer Pyle Light” would be more fitting. He’s a joke.
I wonder how many white lynchings will satisfy the race whores?
Suborning a Jury is a felony!
Yes, God bless and keep this Lt Gov. His interview (today) with Hannity went in to a lot more detail. I wish I could find a link to it, but I’ve not been able to. Even Sean said something like...wow, this is a very damning charge you’re making. Something like that.
The Lt Gov also said they were on a conference call and the Gov would disappear - without any notice - for five minutes at a time. Did this a few times, then finally never returned to the conference call. Evidently, this has been his modus operandi, for a while.
The Mayor that the Lt Gov mentions (as not having even received a call from Gov Nixon) is supposed to be on Sean’s show, tonight.
The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
Obama lent out TOTUS, preloaded, for the occasion, no doubt.
Thanks, I’ll be watching Hannity this evening.
Sounds like the oft expressed feeeeeelings of the Head of the Department of Just Us and Our People explaining prior example of "justice".. actual explanation why no investigation of voter interfering:
"When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that -- to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people." Holder.
So I guess the Gov would agree with the Head of the Department of Just Us and Our People if Holder actually feeeeeeeeeels that punishing the Ferguson policeman is the only option: "When you compare the hundreds of thousands of my people murdered by white sheriffs and policemen . . . change is coming, guilty or not -- punish the Ferguson policeman otherwise it is a great disservice to my people." /s
This Nixon guy makes my skin crawl. I’ll bet he’s a ripe target for opposition research, if the GOP were any good at it....
It’d be great if this turned some union members heads but it’s probably too much to hope for.
“Perhaps he can be indicted, in the meantime.”
THIS is one NIXON who SHOULD be IMPEACHED!
Got a call His Arrogance, Bill Ayers and Eric the Corrupt to straighten up and toe the racist line.
Governor Nixon is the “Military Hanging Governor”. He rolls in militarized police to terrorize the neighborhood, then acts “appalled” at the militarized police he just deployed. Now he wants swift execution of the police officer. What next? Public hangings?
Well that’s an odd couple in the guv’s mansion.
The donks have gone wild on them. Could not happen to a nicer group of supporters.
With malice aforethought. As I said, criminal. Morally if not legally.
