On Monday night, the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri freed Officer Darren Wilson from the possibility of indictment over his shooting of 18-year-old black man Michael Brown. The prosecutor before the grand jury, Robert McCulloch, explained why the indictment had been rejected: the evidence, both physical and eyewitness, supported Wilson’s case that he had acted in self-defense.
McCulloch added pointed criticism of the media that drove the case in the first place, ripping the “insatiable appetite” of social media and “non-stop rumors” driven by it. The initial accounts pushed by social media, McCulloch said, were “filled with speculation and little, if any, solid or accurate evidence.” But he saved his harshest criticism for the media machine itself: “The most significant challenge encountered in this investigation has been the 24-hour news cycle and its insatiable appetite for something, for anything, to talk about, followed closely behind with the non-stop rumors on social media.” McCulloch finished by stating that evidence mattered, and that no one’s life should be decided based on “public outcry or for political expediency.”
The lecture was well-deserved.
Just as the media did during the George Zimmerman trial and in the aftermath of Zimmerman’s shooting of Trayvon Martin, the media attempted to cram the square peg of the Wilson-Brown shooting into the round hole of white police racism. That meant portraying Brown as the latest sainted racial victim; this time, rather than the Trayvon Martin narrative of hoodies, Skittles, and iced tea, the media hit upon the notion that Brown was a “gentle giant.” The Brown family, Al Sharpton, MSNBC, CNN, The Washington Post, and other major media outlets ran with the story that Brown was a “gentle giant” who wouldn’t hurt a fly....

You know, it dawns on me that the Blacks swooping into Ferguson never had it so good, just taking everything they want while the police stand there and watch.
Is this a memorial for Brown, or simply a celebration of never having it quite so good... I’m having a hard time telling.
Leaning for the latter (obviously)...
Meanwhile, the “gentle giant” has no grave marker or headstone.
A lot of people cannot handle the miserable truth of these “martyred” youth.
I like this part:
” never mind that Brown matched the description of the robbery suspect because he was the robbery suspect; “
Tonight was the first time we even knew that the officer had a full description of the strong arm robbery perp, and had matched it to this guy in the street and his buddy. Down to the red hat and YELLOW SOCKS. This punk was not pulled over because he was black. It was the color, sure... Of his clothing that matched exactly,
blood on the msm’s hand
It typically takes an average of two months for a stone to be done up, and erected. 9 Aug was the start of the timeline, but the funeral wasn’t until 25 Aug. We are at the ninety-day point. It may be that the family wanted to use the headstone laying event as the next ‘arc’ to the storyline (I hate to compare it to TV episodes, but folks get manipulated by that).
Actually, The description of the perp was released early on in the initial foia release. It was obvious the Wilson would have heard the description on his radio.
All the media is a bunch of no good jackasses. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS FOX.....all of them. Just report the news and forget the analysis crap. I could care less what a “panel” of idiots thinks is going on. Report the news..KEEP YOUR OPINIONS OFF THE AIR.
All indications are that what we see in Ferguson is just a prelude of much worse things to come. When you have some of our highest government officials flaunting and subverting the rule of law and spewing lies and deceit with a perfectly straight face, what else would you expect from a poorly educated constituency which more often than has not even finished high school.. To expect anything else would be unrealistic to say the least, as slowly and surely all the things our society has sown over the past are coming home to roost and we better be prepared as there is much more of the same or worse to come.
The headline may be obscene, but it is inarguably accurate, as it stands.
Except for the fact that federal charges could still be filed.
NONE of this needed to happen if the Police Chief had come out and told us what had happened to Darren Wilson.....instead he let rumors flow wild.
Even this morning after all the evidence is known, the info babe on CBS reported “White cop killed unarmed black teen”

Add widespread drug and alcohol use and a corrupt media and the recipe is in place for what you expect. It Is an uncivilized situation where everything is reduced to physical size and meaness. Thank God for the police. Can you imagine having to do that job?
I’ve seen a lot of whites start imitating blacks when it comes breeding welfare bastards for money; I want to see how businesses function when whites just start openly stealing from them like this.
These whites mixed with the “protesters” are naively taking their lives in their hands; I hope an example is made of one of them.
The George Zimmerman not guilty verdict was supposed to have done that. Nothing will change concerning the media, they will continue to stoke the fires of racism, just like their idol Obama.
The media has a financial interest in Ferguson burning. No one tunes in to watch if nothing "interesting" happens.
I’ll bet it was the outsider White Kids who started the chaos last night. They wanted to have some fun and get in on the action too. “Urbanism” is a cultural virus that can infect anyone.
Thank God for the police. Can you imagine having to do that job?
...in my home town, being a cop means being bored...in an urban setting, it is impossible to function as one, and all the pay increases in the world won’t make it so...
...which is exactly why blacks in cesspools like Ferguson don’t become policemen...which feeds back into why places like Ferguson become cesspools in the first place...
You know, not only is this the same thing they did with Zimmerman/Martin, but they (MSM) are doing the same thing to Bill Cosby. Now, I'm not saying Bill did not do the things he's "accused" of, BUT in our society we are supposed to be "presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty".
Ferguson's terrorists didn't wait to review the evidence, they immediately said a WHITE man was guilty of killing a BLACK man.
