If they had any witnesses to suggest that Wilson was charging they would have been on Fox news by now.

Just to save their police department from being reorganized because of a Civil Rights investigation they would have probably put something positve out about Wilson if they had it.

Keep an open mind.

Everyone in this topic has a clearly-expressed POV. They either figure Brown was probably acting in a threatening manner that justified the shooting (and perhaps was also an irrational urban thug about whom they give not a shit), or else they have lively suspicions of a cover up of police misconduct, (perhaps conducted by uniformed-bullies too used to using violence with impunity).

I find it wrong and aggravating when persons of either POV accuse the others of 'rushing to judgement' and 'being certain without evidence.' It easily feels that way if you are in a rationalization process for your POV, that dismisses the arguments of the other side, and can't see what wrong with them, that they persist in being so wrong. But we should all give each other some space, and await more information--and try to listen to those that dare to contradict us!

Lol! It does seem a bit different.

That said, regarding this topic I don't see the grassy knoll

Keep an open mind.
If a bank is under fraud investigation, would you deposit your money in that bank? No. Why not? Your money is safe, it is federally insured. You still would not because one expects a bank to play by the rules.

Same applies to Ferguson PD. Their police department is under investigation by the DOJ, not just for the Wilson shooting. Would you trust this department to play by the rules when they are being investigated. No.

So guess what? I am suspicious of the investigations of this Grand Jury (so are the citizens of Ferguson) as they are all part of the same team. Call me a skeptic but allow me and others to speculate simply because this is a chat forum and that's what we are doing. If truth is so obvious and easily obtained from an investigation, we would not need the court system that we have today. Fifth anyone?

Tone and transparency would have been made things much better at the beginning of all this indeed.
