I do not connect the protests with the event. I am sure they probably got a grand jury going but otherwise I really do not connect them with anything.

I do not Wilson sent away for life....just put on trial if he indeed used excessively deadly force, that is all. I think most police departments generally are above board and when they use deadly force are justified....and usually there are no protests afterward.


I do not want an America where someone is killed by authority and we just take it a face value because the police do not think they have to answer to anyone.

There was the black man in NYC who was killed because he was put in an illegal choke hold after supposedly selling cigarettes. There was homeless man beaten to death by cops here in Orange County. There is the case in Florida where the person allegedly shot himself to death in the chest while having his handcuffed behind is back in a patrol car. Maybe I let this influence my viewing of the Wilson case.

What else to you call a group that threatens violence if the wheels of justice turn in a direction they don't like?

As for the choking in NYC, a grand jury has also been empaneled to see if charges are warranted.

As for the handcuff shooting in Louisiana (not Florida), it too is being investigated by appropriate local and Federal authorities, including the DOJ.

The guilt or innocence of the cops in NYC or LA has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of the cop in Ferguson.

What's your solution? Immediately lynch any cop who shoots somebody before the grand jury finishes its investigation?
