In a move that appears to be calculated to pacify rioters who have promised violence if Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson is not indicted for his role in the shooting death of Michael Brown, the Ferguson Grand Jury has announced that they have been unable to come to an agreement on the indictment
The grand jury left the justice center in St. Louis, Missouri, late Friday without having reached a decision on whether to indict Wilson who reportedly shot a robbery suspect, Michael Brown, when Brown attacked the officer.
Since the shooting, the St. Louis suburb has endured mass riots and looting. Many groups, including the Black Panthers, have promised violence if Wilson is not indicted for having shot the black teenager in August.
Autopsy reports support Wilsons account and Ferguson has been bracing for mass violence in recent days as the grand jury has been expected to hand down a refusal to indict. However, with the near-constant threat of mass violence looming, it may be that the grand jury has bowed to the threats of violence and property damage that would devastate their community and have been unable to come to an agreement.
President Obama spoke on Friday about the escalating situation in Ferguson:
This is a country that allows everybody to express their views, allows them to peacefully assemble, to protest actions that they think are unjust, Obama told ABC News. But using any event as an excuse for violence is contrary to rule of law and contrary to who we are.
Obama was apparently unaware of the irony of his lecturing on the value of the rule of law on the same day that he signed an executive order granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants without Congressional approval.
So, when did the USA become the country where there is THE RULE OF LAW._ It´s the country of the RULE of the RULER.
How is that supposed to pacify rioters? They're out for Wilson's head.
If so, it’s the smart move.
other reports said they will reconvene, probably taking the week off for Thanksgiving.
I sure wouldn’t
Or they will announce something when a huge blizzard paralyzes the area.
Hope so.
See the pic of one of those guys the FBI arrested yesterday over the pipe bomb thing?

Don’t give ‘em any excuse
Gee, no bias in that headline.
It’s like having the championship game end in a tie.
Hold on..that is a wise move to fail.
If no decision comes down or since this group fails...then what does that mean? Is it over? or will another group take their place, since Holder & Zero want to put their two cents in; but cannot be done before Thanksgiving...then the bad guys have to go home for awhile. T
The NG will probably go too...soon.
A little background music please for the grand jury...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI1MxxVMZUg
Thanks.
What I can’t understand is why they announce this on a weekend?
Do it Monday morning when more people are occupied with work.
Admittedly, a large percentage of the problem folks aren’t working, but sheesh, this is idiotic.
Every person what would be working and pulled away from a protest would be a step in the right direction.
Imagine how Wilson must feel. The “Grand Jury” can’t even decide if he is as dangerous as a ham sandwich. LOL!
