Michael Brown shooting case to go before grand jury Wednesday : News
Evidence in the shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer will be presented to a grand jury beginning Wednesday.

"We are going to attempt to start giving evidence to the grand jury (Wednesday), depending upon the ability to get the witnesses in and the witnesses showing up," said Ed Magee, spokesman for St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch. "It will be handled by the attorney regularly assigned to the grand jury. It will not be by Mr. McCulloch."

The standing St. Louis County Circuit Court grand jury, not a special assembly, will hear the evidence.
These grand jurors better get their minds right and do the right thing with grand jurors identities being public information!

I hope not and I hope the witnesses are kept secret as well.

The store owner where the robbery occurred is getting death threats.
And his store got looted and burned the day after those store tapes got released.

Nobody should be afraid to tell the truth and if keeping their identities secret will do that then so be it.
Such is our society that when things don't go the way people want then they seek revenge.

Wow, first shooting the door so they could bust into a store to steal. They were just showing a bunch of people helping the shop owner clean up the destruction of his store on Fox. The people rioting could care less about Brown. They see it as yet another way to get stuff for free.

(I remember this because we had 1/2 days and were sent home early from work on Friday). Over the weekend the streets were deserted, there were no cars anywhere except for the fools who were driving by car and looting around town. The police had a pretty good handle on it, and the guard was brought in to keep the peace.

I lived in the Miracle Mile district and could see fires in pockets around town from the roof of my apartment.

It was eerie. I don't recall any organized protests because they had a curfew and it was an all day curfew not only after dark. Eventually the only fools left on the streets were the criminals.

But it wasn't anything like Ferguson.

How is democracy treating you guys?' ISIS militants take to social media to encourage Ferguson protesters to embrace Islamic extremism.

Obviously they see them as their kind of people.

Those people don't want to be controlled.

ISIS is the last group they'd want to join.

Two radical groups have descended on Ferguson...Revolution Club of Chicago and Revolutionary Communist Party among others.

The longer this goes on the more radical groups will show up.

I'm not following any of the "he said, she said" chatter because that's all it is..chatter.
How does the FBI have jurisdiction?

This has been clearly spelled out but many are more willing to dismiss it to push their agenda.

Anyone that actually believes the part in bold is not a serious person and cannot be taken seriously. There has been nothing to indicate he was "kneeling with his arms in the air" and was shot in the head. Nothing.

Besides, what a effed up group of people that would actually believe a cop would EXECUTE another individual inn the middle of the street, in broad daylight over a pack of cigarettes.

If that were true, why didn't he execute Browns accomplice as well? Why would he leave a witness?
