Brown Family Lawyer: Grand Jury Process Against Wilson ‘Completely Unfair’

Benjamin Crump, attorney for Michael Brown’s family, called into question the grand jury proceedings against police officer Darren Wilson, saying the prosecutor was showing an unprecedented amount of deference in the case.

“Why do we accept that when police kill our children, we’re just going to have this grand jury proceeding, and it’s different from everything else?” Crump said. “It’s a problem with our system, when we have the local prosecutor, who has this symbiotic relationship with the local police department, and the local police officers, and has no relationship—”

“It sounds like you’ve prejudged what the grand jury is going to say,” Stephanopoulos said, somewhat taken aback. “Have you already decided the process is unfair?”

“Oh, the process is completely unfair,” Crump said. “99% of the time police officers aren’t charged when they kill young people of color.”

Crump said he was certain Wilson would get a fair trial if indicted. “I don’t worry about due process for Officer Wilson,” he said. “I worry about due process for the little black boy lying dead on the ground.”

“I worry about due process for the little black boy lying dead on the ground.” Wish they were SOooo concerned prior to Saint Swisher going all go go gorilla on the shopkeeper and officer Wilson. If they don’t understand that, then they need to hear this: If the punk wasn’t a violent criminal and actively in the act of assaulting people, he would still be alive. If they taught their illegitimate offspring to behave, there wouldn’t be an issue. There is only one “culture” that creates criminals and then blames others for those same criminals ending up dead. And that is uncivilized thug culture. Correction: cavemen had more sense!
I agree 100%. . . . .

I'm with you. I wouldn't shed a tear if it was a white kid killed under the same circumstances. Very few kids today have any morals or values.

Damn Amish again. Look on the bright side, at least they are not running around with machetes, hacking people to death.

The white people have obviously been building up their anger reserves the past 6 years putting up with all of this $hip saying little due to white guilt but I think that bill was paid years ago. I fear that when the fuse is finally lit it’s going to be a bloodbath of epic proportions.
