Grand Jury Not Indicting Darren Wilson

[Deleted]

Yeah what kind of jerk thinks race has an effect in our justice system?

What kind of person thinks just because someone is acquitted, it instantly means it's racism at play and nothing else?

[Khelek]

And if the jurors were black, they would have been fair?

From what I remember at least three of the jurors were black.

[TZucchini]

I wonder how all these false statements effected the final decision.

[Stop Pretending]

I sincerely doubt Mister Wilson made a reasonable effort to prevent engaging in a melee.

Mike Brown was inside the officer's SUV. INSIDE. Tell me, how was Mike Brown NOT in the wrong?

[Raptor With a Saber]

There was evidence he was killed at a distance.

Killed at a distance but not shot in the back evidence showed that he attacked the cop and the struggle in the car did happen. The cop did what was right.

Because a WHITE COP killed a BLACK MAN, it means it was racist, no MATTER WHAT the evidence says!

[Paula Deen]

You are aware that 12 Angry Men is actually fairly critical of trial by jury precisely because it leads to the facts being lost under emotional appeal?

Yeah, I am, but guess what? It also tells you straight up that is how the system works. It can have a message, but it was based in fact.

Edit: Love how you fucking added the bolded part in an edit. No it isn't. It is the exact opposite. Facts being lost under emotional appeal? Have you even seen the movie? The one guy who had emotional issues with it, eventually saw the facts and they came to a conclusion are you high or something?

"Brown's death was not justified" is not the same as "Brown did nothing wrong".

Officer should of been like rocky balboa bud.

[Elegiac]

You're not answering how it's racism that he was acquitted.

What part of 'a majority white jury is more likely to find in favor of the non-minority party' do you not understand?

[Kellhound]

Justice is only justice if you agree with the outcome....

[Piglord]

I'd like to know what kind of moron police officer allows the suspect to get that close.

Maybe the moron that didn't have his psychic hat on so he would have known a robbery suspect was going to attack him.

[Stop Pretending]

There was evidence he was killed at a distance.

The physical evidence shows he was actually within 10 feet of Officer Wilson, and that he was charging the officer. You should start paying attention to what is being sad, instead of spewing your bullshit agenda. it would help you in whatever cause you are going for here.

[Crissi]

Know you're being sarcastic but exactly. Race doesn't have any in the system unless people go looking for it and its only an effect then because they make it into one to suit their needs.

Eh, historically minorities have gotten the judicial shaft. Here in Texas pot laws weren't relaxed until rich white kids started getting caught instead of black ones, at least according to one of my professors who testified in over 100 of them.

I'm not convinced this case was one of them however.

There was evidence he was killed at a distance.

He was killed at a distance. He first went for the cops sidearm got shot in the hand because of it went to run away and it seems turned back around. At that point the cop who repeatly told him to stop and get down had to make a judgement call. It was never 100% sure if at that time he was unarmed. The cop made his choice and the kid who refused to lissen died because of the choice both him and the cop made.

Tip: When a cop tells you to stop and get on the ground fucken do it.

I really do not think jurors are qualified to make such a decision concerning evidence.

[Wells]

Killed at a distance but not shot in the back evidence showed that he attacked the cop and the struggle in the car did happen. The cop did what was right.

Witnesses said he was shot at and then turned around and then was killed. What you're describing here is exactly what a court case is supposed to sort out.

It's like as if you didn't understand my posts. You just instantly jump to the conclusion he was acquitted cuz racism. Without anything to back it up with. Impossible that anything else could be at play, eh? Like him being in his right to do it?

[Gumboy]

I really do not think jurors are qualified to make such a decision concerning evidence.

And you are?

[DEATHETERNAL]

Justice has been served. I also find it funny how key parts of the arguments people made against the officer (such as saying he didn't know about the robbery Brown had just committed when he in fact did and had heard a description of Brown) were never true.
