Ferguson grand jury papers full of inconsistencies
Some witnesses said Michael Brown had been shot in the back. Another said he was face-down on the ground when Officer Darren Wilson "finished him off." Still others acknowledged changing their stories to fit published details about the autopsy or admitted that they did not see the shooting at all.
An Associated Press review of thousands of pages of grand jury documents reveals numerous examples of statements made during the shooting investigation that were inconsistent, fabricated or provably wrong. For one, the autopsies ultimately showed Brown was not struck by any bullets in his back.
Prosecutors exposed these inconsistencies before the jurors, which likely influenced their decision not to indict Wilson in Brown's death.

The Grand Jury was apparently astute enough to see through the various fabrications and inconsistencies, but for some here in this forum, not so much.

HA! THIS is inciting, but none of the "white guilt" posts, cop blasting posts, and general dumping on the justice system and the Grand Jury posts didn't move you at all, I'll bet.
Here, this really ought to to get you jacked up:

There was never a case here.
Folks with agendas tried to manufacture one, but this shouldn't have even gone to a Grand Jury.
The AD lacked stones on that one.

According to this source 12.

6 out of 12, at a 6 foot 4, 290 lbs target.
Piss poor shooting, but about average for a street cop.

Most of the witnesses on that list would have had so many inconsistencies in their testimony that they would have been useless (e.g., several witnesses have Brown simultaneously running away, facing Wilson and kneeling down while being shot).
