Decision is very close and certainly this weekend (as I posted earlier).

BREAKING: St. Louis county prosecutor says preparing news conference to announce decision of grand jury in Michael Brown shooting.
The Superintendent of Jennings School District has decided to send the kids home early today. The "peaceful" protestors are doing mock hangings in trees near the Court House ..... these people are sick,sick,sick.
Trying to figure out what that picture had to do with "justice" ? Regardless of the outcome of this , no one is going to come out on top. Very sad.
Your a former cop. Answer me this. The guy was 100 ft away, your adrenaline is through the roof. How likely is it to have rounds on target in that situation? I'm assuming a 9mm Glock which is not exactly a target shooting pistol
I'm an active shooter and don't shoot at the range at anything more than 25 ft with a 9mm pistol. I'm sure I can hit a few shots center of mass at 100 ft but not if my adrenaline was flowing with sweaty hands.
As a former cop, combat arms soldier and sport shooter, I wouldn't get six or seven hits at 100 feet especially with the adrenaline rush and accompanying tunnel vision with a 9mm, .40 or any other hand gun and especially not with a moving target.
But don't forget it's "fact" according to one poster.
The fact is that multiple witnesses believe that officer Wilson murdered Michael Brown.
And the longer you repetitively post about this the longer the list grows. Singing the same sad song over and over doesn't make it any more true or can you not see that?

A lot (if not most) of the Business people in the area agree with you (and me) - We have a Justice System and it's working. These "protestors" have their own idea of what "Justice" is. There "justice" is those trees in the picture and a rope - for Officer Wilson. They don't need or want a Grand Jury or any Legal system at all. They are SO sure they know what happened from all the scuttlebutt and rumors that they are only interested in Street 'justice'. Vengeance is what they want.
Dan McMullen runs Solo Insurance Services on West Florissant, near where the vandalism from protests broke out after the shooting in early August. He said any negative backlash in response to the grand jury ruling shows such people aren’t truly interested in seeing “justice.” McMullen has said that those who are looking to harm Ferguson businesses are “driving a wedge between themselves and the real world … they don’t want to understand.”
McMullen said media outlets aren’t asking protesters the right question, “Has justice not been served?”
“They’ve already screwed business up by doing their violence and it’s not going to come back for a long time…whatever they do, it just shows their ignorance,” McMullen said of the earlier protests that sparked vandalism and looting of stores.
This town will not recover from this IF these 'protestor groups' go through with their Planned Actions.
It will have a very difficult time of recovery if they all accept the Grand Jury decision ... and that's NOT going to happen from what I'm reading.
The Black Churches are Front and Center is fomenting rage .... that's food for thought.
