Your misery and oppression is brought on by yourselves at times and part of your post proves it.

This case is not simple by any means but there is no way anyone involved in this case will get a fair trial if/when it comes to that because the media have already allowed the public to determine the officer is guilty and the kid and his friend are innocent victims of a police officer's rogue ways.
So far it has been tentatively shown that the innocent victims were not so innocent.
The boys in blue aren't so innocent either. Do you even notice how the media has played with you? For those of us who live here, we know better. The story starts off with an innocent black kid being gunned down by a rogue, mystery cop. All week, we get the overall picture of this kid as one who struggled like many, but was possibly heading towards having a future. All the while, his family and those that witnessed the murder are given no answers.... The media instantly knew that this would be a big story. The looting gave them an entire new angle to report on and it gained steam...People saw the looting videos and quickly decided that they could classify all blacks in this area as savage animals. The media did not focus on police brutality until two white journalists were arrested in McDonald's for no reason. That's when this thing really blew up.

Before then, it was just 'black people are mad again'

We have a county prosecutor who's father was killed in the line of duty, along with a brother, cousin and nephew who served with the STL PD. The only reason he couldn't serve is because he has a prosthetic leg. Yet, we should all have faith that his review won't be biased...

Ferguson PD decided to release a surveillance tape 6 days after the incident (Not the day of the incident, but 6 days later)....But they didn't release any video that showed Officer Wilson at the scene after the shooting. Now, we are finding out that officer Wilson did not leave the scene immediately, he was still there talking to another officer...

The police had this video also, but did not release it. And then we find out that the officer himself came from a criminalized, broken home.... This story has had so many twists and turns that I'm sure somebody is working on the movie.
