In the meantime, I don't support subverting the legal process at the expense of Wilson's rights in order to preclude possible mob action in Ferguson. At this time, Wilson could be a cold-blooded murderer or pure as the driven snow. We just don't know yet.

In a democracy, one is not expected nor allowed to challenge the transparency of the legal system? Since there has been no transparency in this case, why wouldn't some of us speculate? And that's what is going on in this forum. Fairness of LE and the legal system is also under scrutiny here.
