Wait 60 witnesses?  That must have been one crowded street.

They allowed other witnesses, such as Wilson's supervisor, to tell the grand jury what a great cop he is.  You know, stuff that happens during a trial, not a grand jury.

Burning buildings and cop cars keep things nice & toasty.

It's a good thing those weren't armored vehicles.  That might have provoked people into doing something rash.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well one cannot say they were not thorough.

That's not usually the goal.

It is when the stakes for getting it right are so high.

That is what petit (trial) juries are usually used for.

I do get your point and would be inclined to agree if the principle were more generally applied rather than reserved for very particular application.

This situation is different and you know it.  This was a planned riot, the rabble was all there ready to rock.

What the hell?  What does that have to do with whether or not there was enough evidence to take him to trial?  Ok so maybe it was a highly unorthodox Grand Jury hearing.

Yes.  It is.  This thing has been all over social media for months.  These are the usual clowns who show up at every G-8 summit or whatever.

Indeed.  It is a pity we have to wait until people are burning down cities to understand why Police shooting people dead is destabilizing to law and order and needs to be seriously addressed.
