Then when I got on there I'd do everything I could to see to it that Wilson got hung.

It's the least I could do to try to restore some balance to our entire legal system which is is grotesquely biased in favor of the Police, and against black males.

1. Bullshit.
2. Don't you mean "black males who attack officers?"

I don't perceive a need to "balance" that...

Zeke...the master of agenda driven oversimplification. Well done.

Of course you don't.

Your ad hominem attacks grow more desperate as the Grand Jury deliberates.

Eventually, nobody will hear you (embarrassingly wrong from the beginning) wail...

Oh sure Ike.

Let's hold up the one in a million instance where the black dude got the best of the system and say that that balances out the other 999,999 cases where the black dude got fucked by it.

And did OJ really get away with it?

The system stayed on his ass until they got him anyway.

He's rotting in prison now.

He'll probably die there.

So how much better off is he than if he had been found guilty in the first place?

Not much.

Now this is apologism at its finest.

"The system" got him?

No.

Being a CRIMINAL got him.

Poor Zeke.

It really gets to you when you can't bully someone on the internet like you do when you are swaggering down the street with your badge and your gun.

A public trial will bring out all of the admissible evidence in this case. This may include other cases of police misconduct by the Ferguson PD. Chances are the PD will be wholly discredited and may have to be disbanded. In fact Eric Holder is already hinting that their PD needs to be reformed.

This Grand Jury deliberations and dragging it out is an act desperation by the powers to be in Ferguson to prolong the inevitable. The chief is already being measured for golden handcuffs.

Maybe a good shoot but definitely not good governance.

Only someone without an argument would consider the ongoing presentation of an accurate one as "bullying."

Officer Wilson isn't being tried for "governance."

I get your point, and it is wholly valid, but it's a separate concern.

Regardless of what a Grand Jury determines, it is now politically impossible to disavow leadership scrutiny within the department...
