I don't think so. The DOJ investigation, as I understand it, was into whether Brown's civil rights were violated by Wilson, period. This is a little like the OJ trial where, though acquitted of murder. Simpson was convicted in violating the civil rights of his two victims. The conduct of the criminal trial wasn't taken into consideration. I suppose we'll all learn when the DOJ's findings are made public.

You may be right, John. However, some of the nation's best criminal investigators listened to all of the same witnesses (and 140 more witnesses (200 vs. 60)) and came to the same conclusion as the grand jury over months of work.

There's simply no there there.

Why not, it's the way Congress and Presidents have been governing for years. Time for the third branch to get with the program.

You've given me a command and I have failed to comply and you can't draw your firearm on me like your instincts and training tell you to because I am out of range.

God that must really suck for you.

I find your ongoing exhibitions of idiocy hilarious.

Nobody wants to abuse the board fool... Why would you believe I'd want to?

I will believe it if he can tell us who deflated Tom Brady's footballs. Wasn't Belichick.
