People across the country reacted sharply to the decision by a grand jury not to indict a white Missouri police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, with protesters taking to the streets in cities from Oakland to New York.
St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch announced the grand jury had chosen not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who gunned down Michael Brown, 18, on a street in Ferguson on Aug. 9. The grand jury had options from first-degree murder to no charge at all.
In New York, protesters held up a poster reading "Black Lives Matter." In Oakland, about 100 demonstrators marched to the police department, local media reported.
"The racism in this acquittal is breathtaking. THIS MUST NOT STAND. We must stand up collectively. DEMAND JUSTICE," tweeted CODEPINK, a social justice, grassroots movement.
"My thoughts are with family of Michael Brown and the Ferguson community. I'm echoing their calls for peace / nonviolence," tweeted Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.....

Dear God, we live in a nation comprised of morons.
Never mind it wasn’t an all-white jury.
Whitey’s still gotta pay, doncha, know?
We’re all racist.
Figured this would be the kind of horsesh** we’d get from the jugheads down at NBC. Morons all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever they’re gonna say it’s going to be stupid. But they do have a right to say it and I have a right to tune them out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So in other words, truth does not matter? What does?
“... grand jury had chosen not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who gunned down Michael Brown, 18, on a street in Ferguson on Aug. 9.”
Gee, NBC, this is quite incendiary, isn’t it?
NBC is inciting the situation by repeating the clearly false statement ‘gunned down’. When will these people be called out for the damage they cause?
Obama has now explained all the ways white America could shape up. No mention of how black folks might improve even a littttttttttttttle bit. I’m shocked.
You’re doing a heckuva job...
It is justice !
What do Martin and Brown have in common ?
Assault , and then charging (another assault) on someone who has a firearm .
You figure it out, because I fear you are to stupid to figure it out ,.. alone !!
The truth does not matter when rioters turn over police cars.
The GJ shoulda indicted Hg,s buddy for theft and assault and his jomama for assault of his grammar.
“THIS MUST NOT STAND”..then sit down b!tch!
sorry I had to say that.
Not quite, however the morons get center stage because of Minitrue. Sane voices need not attempt to be heard there.
The coverage is really starting to sound racist to me though; it is always an “unarmed black teen” shot by a “white cop”. So bloody what? Why is race an issue here? This thugs previous victims I am sure were mostly blacks. And btw, wasn't someone doing a FOI request about this thug's juvenile rap sheet? Did that ever get granted? Inquiring minds want to know.
“CODEPINK, a social justice, grassroots movement”
None of those adjectives apply.
And only a less-common usage of “movement”...
Yeah I’m going to bed.
THEN STOP KILLING EACH OTHER. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE!
I wonder what the demographic make up of the grand jury was. If there were black citizens among them then the rest of the community should just accept their decision. After all, THEY were the only one to see ALL the evidence.
Screw the Black militants along with the communist agitators and let the rule of law prevail. Enough of the black community denying reality.
Let the race wars begin!
I hope the end of such a “Race War” will come quickly and that Black citizens will finally stop acting uncivilized, and understand that their role in civilized society is no different than the roles of other citizens who do not have black skin.
THANK-YOU grand jury for doing the RIGHT THING!
