Was a Carly Simon song, wasn't it?

Zeke's so vain, he probably thinks that song was about him.

Until then, keep on flailing.

I find it humorous and enlightening all at the same time.

Revel away Zeke but it will not wash away the feeling that the Grand Jury decision is not based on lack of evidence, but from an unwillingness to look at all of the evidence. Hollow victory indeed and have a cheap thrill.

Zeke, being right in all measure means you can cite chapter and verse from a published book, otherwise your "entitlement" chant is bullshit. The rest of us have Google capabilities as well, and you are dragging a Trojan Horse around.

Likewise, you can't admit that Wilson chased after Brown, shooting him multiple times over the course of the almost twenty second confrontation, including two coup de graces delivered over 100 feet from his SUV squad car. Your narrative is so weak you cannot provide a single photo or video to negate our "lack of evidence." Indeed.

You are undoubtably going to be right that Wilson will get off scot free, but he will never again be a badged, gun carrying law enforcement officer, and he will need to move out of Missouri and seek to become anonymous.

His police chief will retire, and his community police force will disband, all due to his Pyrrhic and righteous display of being in control. He wins, everyone else loses. And still you gleefully pound the snare drum. All is good, the bad guys die.

I don't think it will hurt his career.

He'll be a hero to the right.

Even if he can't be a cop anymore, he'll probably get hooked up with a lucrative private security gig.

And of course he'll be on Sean Hannity's show.

Maybe he can partner with ...naw, his gun down was not nearly as egregious as Zimmerman's in my book. It is still horrible, but he has a badge, was on duty, and he started out in the right.

Zimmerman was 0 for three, and then got worse.

Looks like the Grand Jury verdict is to be out soon and here is a Huffington piece of what could happen. Exaggerated may be? One needs to wait and see. Interesting to read any way.

Ten Illegal Police Actions to Watch for in Ferguson

"The First Amendment to the US Constitution promises the government will not abridge freedom of speech or to prevent the right of the people to peaceably assemble or to petition to the government for the redress of grievances."

Looks like you missed on that one sheltie.

If the grand jury does not indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown, he will be returning to duty immediately. That’s what Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told local KSDK-TV reporters Friday night in anticipation of the pending decision.

[Zeke]

Meh.

Bring in the National Guard, crush the entitlement minions protesting because they believe it is okay to assault an officer and expect to not get shot.

Yes, I read the piece.

1. "The government" has been petitioned. If a Grand Jury does not return an indictment, YOU LOST.
2. Rioting isn't "peaceably assembling."

If things go bad once the completely righteous officer isn't charged? Tear gas (#10 on the list) any rioting into the ground.

That said, if everything is peaceful? Folks should be allowed to sing Kumbaya for a thousand years with no interference...

As for Officer Wilson, if he's cleared, why can't he immediately return to work? He did NOTHING wrong.

Well look whose back.
