Wilson made his bed, now he has to lie in it. My personal opinion has nothing to do with it, I wasn't on the GJ.
Too late! I've already served on several juries.

Although it appears that Wilson has escaped justice here, he will face the court of public opinion. This senseless act of his will cost him and his family dearly for years. I feel bad for his family, not for him.

The lady who posted the location of Wilson's house is now constantly calling the police because of threats she's receiving and pizzas being delivered to her house. Irony of irony.

Well, well, well - I like it when we can see karma come home to roost.
What a bitch - I'll bet that Wilson never batted an eye.
Bwaahaahaahaa!
I don't know of anybody who thinks that the death of an 18-year old, somebody's son, is "nothing." I surely would never trivialize any human life, and race (gender, orientation, religion, blah-blah-blah) have nothing to do with it. It's tragic that Michael Brown's life was cut short, but his choices led to his death.
I do think that Officer Wilson did what was right. He was upholding his duty, and he also had the right to defend his own life. But you can be satisfied that his life as he once knew it is ruined, as is his career in Ferguson, and that he will live in fear for quite some time.
Wilson left lawn half mowed, went into hiding

This is a joke. The guy cannot live a normal life because he did the RIGHT thing. What a joke. I wish we could prosecute those who posted his address. Even if it was redacted.
Wilson did the wrong thing.
The right thing would be to have a trial and actually cross examine the evidence and witnesses.
Which did not happen.
It seems you feel that is justified? Because he did the right thing. He, in self defense, shot a thug who tried to kill him.
Wilson hasn't cost them anything. Brown has. Wilson was just defending his life, and it's a shame that that thug has now ruined the officer's career.
Presumably we are still talking about the Ferguson incident, but no Wilson did not have several minutes to make a decision.
What we do know and most agree on is that Wilson stopped his car to address a couple of kids walking in the middle of the street. Wilson then drove a few feet then realized the description of the location and perps on a BOLO fit the situation where hewas. Wilson then backed up and was attack in his car, getting off one non lethal shot and suffering injuries. We know that because Brown's blood was found in the car and Wilson had injuries consistent with that account. Brown then wandered off, turned, and ran back toward Wilson and got shot for his troubles. All the evidence and the reliable witness accounts point in that direction.
Total time elapsed could not have been more than a minute, unless you believe that Brown and Wilson both stopped for a smoke before proceeding.
The "should have gone to a jury" is just a cop out. The level required in a GJ is far less than the level in a criminal trial. Additionally, there is nothing to stop the prosecutor from proceeding if he thinks the GJ is wrong. The GJ role is largely advisory.
It is amazing to me the lengths that certain people will go to to prove a point they don't have. The short memory people fail to remember the Zimmerman case . The rabble rousers got their way, went to trial, and a few million dollars later the jury decided the original decision was correct. The legal system has worked in both cases. It's just that some people refuse to believe the facts if they fail to prove their beliefs.
None of which has much to do with my original point. That Monday morning quarterbacks can take weeks to decide what a cop should have done in his split second decision.
Perhaps the black community in Ferguson feels that is what they have been experiencing in the form of an institutionalized mob. Who knows. Maybe it will cause cops to think twice before they kill someone whether their authority to use deadly force is worth the price of not trying a different approach.
Everything you posted was not determined in a court of law with two advocate attorneys determining the voracity of the evidence.
You can argue your case on an on-line forum all you wish, but that does not take the place of a court of law...sorry
The mob that Ferguson has been suffering under isn't the cops. It's the people burning their city down right now.
It does seem that the media in the US gets away with subtly inciting violence. Perhaps one day a brave prosecutor will take up your challenge.
Then you don't understand grand juries. Plus, let me ask, if you were in Wilson's shoes, what would you have done?Wilson did the wrong thing.

Felons are shot everyday fleeing in this country...Something is seriously wrong that you take the side of criminals.You can argue the case ad infinitum, I am looking at the reality of the aftermath. Since Brown is no longer alive, Wilson is the liability. Your guilt and innocence reasoning has no bearing that fact.

Everything I posted was determined in accordance with the law. The GJ job is to determine whether or not sufficient evidence exists to bring the case to a court.
In spite of a lower standard of evidence required, the GJ said no. That's the legal process, and it's a good one. You don't get a do over just because you don't like the results.
I take the side of justice. Not for criminals, not for Micheal Brown, for everyone. I have a clear cut understanding of the law and the Constitution...I don't have any idea what you value. Or care.
