I was on 9th street last night when several hundred protestors went by. It looked like the typical OWS professional protesting crowd - The type where it looks like they rented their williamsburg apartment on air bnb for the night, and get arrested on purpose so they have a place to stay.

Sure, that's the real reason why blacks are upset. Even before anyone had all of the facts, people began rioting and looting. And now, with all the facts available to the public, you still don't want to accept what happened.

Everyone talks about Brown like he was some sweet little 13 yo boy who never hurt a fly. He was 6'4" 300 lbs (90 lbs more than Wilson) and he was struggling with the police officer (punching him, reaching for his gun). In a 'him or me' situation with a guy this big and aggressive, it's going to be him every time. I plan on going home to my family because I have a life worth living. This guy is so poor he has to steal cigars - putting his future at risk for damn cigars! Just because your life isn't worth living, don't assume everyone else's isn't either.

Again, you are wrong. But, don't stop:
The Grand Jury is selected at random from St. Louis County.
St. Louis County, Missouri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2010 census: "racial makeup of the county was 70.3% White ..., 23.3% African American"

Here you go. 4,800 pages of GJ transcript, hundreds of other pages of statements, reports and other comments. Got a few spare weeks?

A quick look at the forensic report:
http://www.documentcloud.org/documen...is-report.html
Brown's DNA on the inside door handle of the police car & on the officer's gun!
How long, until someone claims the officer rubbed his gun & the inside door handle on Brown's body?

Q.E.D.
And your point is? Did you know that those people were chosen long before the incident occurred?
That's how the process works...Law and order is a process. Your not Obama and can make up what laws are enforced...In the end you will see that the federal hand had a lot to do with why law enforcement allowed this situation get out of control......As for the jury,,it was more than fair,,way more..

No black man running toward a cop with his weapon pulled. End of story.

People believe anything.
