The prosecutor needs to be disbarred for trying to sabotage the indictment. Sick perversion of justice.

Wow, I didn't know that. The prosecutor is kicking sand into the eyes of the protestors. That seems beyond the pale. That is crooked justice.

Are you sure your information is correct?

What you said is correct. It results in the grand jury trying the case which is not supposed to happen. Prosecutor knows this and is setting up the situation that forces GJ towards no indictment.

The prosecutor needs to be disbarred for trying to sabotage the indictment. Sick perversion of justice.

Mark O'Mara (sp?) from the GZ and TM case has an article out on this.

There's no attempt to sabotage.

This case is explosive. Even if there's a trial and an acquittal, it's still gonna explode.

The prosecutor has a legal obligation to not indict unless (s)he is reasonably certain of guilt AND a conviction.

Per MOM, this prosecutor is presenting all evidence so it can't be claimed he was biased etc in any way. It's a CYA move. The prosecutor is also promising to release the GJ transcripts, a very unusual move for the same reason.

He's putting every thing out, doing a 'dump', because he knows it's going to be gone over in nit-picking detail. Per MOM, there's less risk of criticism in putting out too much as opposed to omitting something.

The prosecutor is in a no-win situation.

Would taking down this animal (thug with a badge) really be a crime. It is like taking down a rabid dog.

Your post is WAY over the line.

If I had shot and killed this man and was witness to the unrest that it had generated, then I would submit to a trial and automatically stipulate that there was probably cause to indict. I am protecting and serving nobody if my actions lead to mass riots and mayhem.

You responded pretty much exactly as I thought you would. And you got your BS shoved right back in your face like I knew it would. I won't dilute the responses of others as they called you out quite well.

Please let it be known regardless if this so called grand jury returns an indictment, it doesn't change this thug with a badge guilt. One way or another justice needs to be served, if not by a jury, then perhaps other means.

Looking forward to the FBI knocking on your door? You're close to making a specific threat against a specific person. If I were you I would back out of this thread before you say something you can't take back.

So it is possible that Wilson might resign according to various news outlets.

Link

According to the article, he will resign only if he isn't charged. Hmmmm.

Remember that CHP officer? That beat the crap out of a woman ? Yeah, he didn't get charged, and got to resign, keeping all his benefits.

You or me caught on video beating someone like that? We would immediately be arrested and be in jail for a while right now, but a cop? Get out of jail free card. Nice to have that double standard.

There's an obvious reason for that. He can't continue with his previous duties because the self-deluded public will be too hostile to him and it will be extremely dangerous. Resigning is the only real option other than risking death and serious bodily injury. However, if it came a trial, the prosecution would try to claim that his resignation is some kind of admission of guilt.

He's doing exactly what *any* legal counsel would advise him to do.

If someone took you down would that be a crime? It would be like taking down a rabid dog.

Frankly if someone should be beheaded I'd vote for your fave Dear Leader in NK.

Just like that "innocent" CHP officer right? He only resigned because it would be too dangerous for him to continue working? LOL

He also doesn't have enough time at Ferguson PD to get any benefits. I believe that he would resign to lessen the possibility of someone attempting to take his life only to injure or kill a fellow police officer/partner.

Yeah, no way anyone would want to kill this officer.

Except Wilson didn't beat the crap out of a woman, he defended himself against an angry, delusional, young, but very large man.

Is it really shocking to hear that Wilson is likely going to resign? Honestly?

You really think he is going to be able to go back and police those same streets?

Yeah, there's no way he'll be able to work in Ferguson again as a beat cop.

I am not making threats, just asking a question.

OK I see I pushed the line with my comments

I don't see any question marks, but this is not a question in any way: "One way or another justice needs to be served, if not by a jury, then perhaps other means."

And you crossed the line with you inappropriate assumptions about Wilson's guilt. The man almost died. He did not ruin his life because he's a thug with a badge and hates black kids. He was threatened while responding to our calls and protecting us. He put his life at risk for us and you think of him as scum even if you don't honestly think of him like a rabid dog. Wilson has done absolutely nothing to make you think anything other than what he told you and yet you have decided that there is no way he's in the right. Why? Because Brown was unarmed? He wouldn't have been if Wilson had let him take his weapon! Everything in his story adds up. It's not coincidence that nothing in the witness stories add up. The witnesses were obviously the same kind of scum you are and the same kind of scum that I have personally encountered twice in my life. I learned to not trust witnesses just like you learned to not trust cops, but I would never use my past experience to bias me against ALL witnesses like you are biased against all cops.

To be clear I don't support violence against him. If this grand jury fails, then a new grand jury is needed. They need to keep doing this until he is indicted.
