Any minute now, a grand jury is expected to decide if whether or not police officer Darren Wilson is to be charged for the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in the Missouri suburb of Ferguson four months ago.
Forensic, autopsy and investigation reports released in October indicate the six-year veteran cop will not be indicted, an event some say will cause an outbreak in riots similar to the ones in 1992 when several Los Angeles cops were acquitted in relation to a taped beating of Rodney King.
"The LA riots with Rodney King is what should be expected to happen in Ferguson," law professor Jeannine Bell, of Indiana University Maurer School of Law, told CBS St. Louis. "Brown's death was very detrimental to the community. The individuals who are protesting now have suggested in speaking to the press given the ongoing protests in Ferguson that that could happen."
Ferguson has already seen scores of protests, both peaceful and violent, along with looting after the unarmed black teenager was killed by Wilson, who is white, on Aug. 9. In the meantime, Missouri and Ferguson police are bracing themselves for a possible "perfect storm" after the grand jury makes a decision, Bell said.
But Bell also said law enforcement in Ferguson, where most residents are black and most of the police force is white, don't seem to be doing all they can to quell the racial tensions, namely their unwavering support for the cop who killed Brown.
"When the Justice Department had to tell the police department to not wear arm bands saying 'I Am Darren Wilson,' that suggested a lot," Bell told CBS St. Louis. "It's not surprising that that would make things worse. You're announcing to the crowd that you're like someone who shot and killed someone who was not armed."
The grand jury results are expected sometime this month.
Not sure how Oulimata got any minute now out of sometime this month, but last night, the prosecutor said that the grand jury is expected to continue hearing evidence until mid-to-late November. Hopefully, they will announce their decision in the middle of an 18 inch snowstorm.
works for me.....as does your tag line...
That’s beautiful.
No, the cause is a population comprised of race baiting scum that have no regard for the law.
Evacuate the non-combatants, seal off the town and let the ferala and their invited guests have at it.
LOL. Yes, I’m with you!

Wonder why they picked those two states??
Here in NJ (which roughly mirrors the country’s ethnic makeup) any area that could have such a riot has no productive people in it. These riots would just be viewed as “urban renewal” or culling the herd.
