No, I believe that a prosecutor presenting the evidence to a grand jury like he's the defense attorney is absurd and should be investigated. He didn't provide the jury with the whole story; he gave the jury most of the evidence and then spun the evidence to defend Wilson's story - that's the exact opposite of his job.1. As I said in a previous comment, I think it's commendable that a prosecutor would lay out all the evidence, including exculpatory evidence, so that the time of grand juries and courts isn't wasted first by only hearing half a story and then by having a trial where a conviction is impossible to get. From your words, you seem to feel that getting an indictment at all costs, even if there's no crime, is preferable - I disagree.
2. I certainly hope, if your assertions are true, that both the officers and the prosecutor were charged because perjury is a serious charge and shouldn't go unchallenged, at least in my view.
No prosecutor who wants to stay one would tank a grand jury hearing.

This could be a fair point. What's relevant is not only what evidence he presented, but also which evidence he may NOT have presented. He has broad discretion in choosing, and can easily help frame a case toward his desired outcome, if he wants to.No, I believe that a prosecutor presenting the evidence to a grand jury like he's the defense attorney is absurd and should be investigated.

Can't have a trial when there is insufficient evidence for a conviction.

...maybe blacks need their own police force, and own trial section....you apparently dont like the system we currently have
In my view, what this case proves, is that some blacks need to start accepting the consequences of their own personal actions and start being productive and contributing members of society at large and their own communities more specifically. You just have to listen to Michael Brown's mother explain away her husband's incitement to riot following the grand jury not handing down an indictment. Mr. Head, on a platform before the crowd in front of the government location where the prosecutor announced the grand jury decision, viciously and arrogantly yells over and over to the crowd toWhat does his wife and Michael Brown's mother have to say about that - "oh, he was just angry and his words meant nothing - it was just words and not actions" - she likewise dismisses her son as a "good boy" who never did anything wrong. And the media props these two violence enablers up as models for blacks in America when the mother is a complete failure at raising a decent son and the step-father should be charged and tried for inciting the violence that visited their community."burn this m****r f****r down".
Nothing will ever change or improve in America as it relates to race until the violent segment of black culture and life is eradicated and it will only be eradicated if blacks themselves rise up against it. Michael Brown's parents are representative of the problem and only make matters worse.
He provided the grand jury with far more information than is usually provided to a grand jury. This is referred to as a "data dump", or dumping so much data on a grand jury that it's difficult for them to sort through it all.
He conducted the presentation of evidence to the grand jury like it was trial, without the benefit of cross examination.
He conducted the press conference like he was a defense attorney for Wilson even though he's supposed to work on behalf of the state and the victim, Brown.
He has not indicted a police officer in a shooting in the entire 23 years he's been the prosecutor.
His police officer father was killed by a black man in the line of duty.
His brother, nephew and cousin are all police officers in St. Louis.
His mother was a clerk for the St. Louis PD for 20 years.
Yeah, he threw it. If someone hasn't indicted a police officer for 23 years, why would he start now? There was no chance and I hope he's investigated by the federal government.
I believe he yelled "burn this bitch down".
No, you lie and convince the person you have their balls nailed to a wall and push for a plea bargain instead.Can't have a trial when there is insufficient evidence for a conviction.
Probably did scream both... but should he ever be arrested for inciting to riot, if you're Sharpton or you live in Ferguson the uncertainty is enough for an acquittal.Good morning Bubba - I believe he yelled both.

and 2) I will be glad when all this Ferguson nonsense is done...it has been galactically overblown, imo (except for the victim, the cop and their loved ones).
A cop killed someone in America. If the victim is 'black' and the cop is 'white'..everyone freaks out. Almost any other 'race' combination and almost no one gives a sh!t.
I don't know, I wasn't in there....
The second paragraph helps to explain why the first will not happen any time soon. Black lives matter.
All lives matter...equally.
A 'black' killed should warrant ZERO more or less note worthiness then a person of any other 'race' getting killed.
I don't believe you. Because when you say this:
You reveal just how blind you are to the systematic oppression of blacks.
