Ferguson Verdict

I saw an absolutely eye-opening interview with a young black woman yesterday. She was talking about her 4-year-old son, and when to have a discussion with him about the police.

She felt she needed to warn him. He should never play with toy guns or knives if a policeman might see. He should never do anything that might be interpreted as a threatening gesture or posture around the police. He should never ever go to the police with a complaint or a request for help. She wondered if four years old was too young to start having this discussion?

Absolutely jaw dropping. This is what America has turned into.

I don't see this "witness" being indicted, either.

"Witness 40": Exposing A Fraud In Ferguson

Lawrence O'Donnell had a rather damning commentary last night.  Seems the one witness (Witness #10) who claimed to have seem Brown charging Wilson also said he was 100 yards away at the time.  300 feet away. a full city block away.  All the other witnesses, who were closer, saw no signs of aggression on Brown's part.  

Yet one witness whose account was chosen to repeat at the press conference was witness #10.  The Grand Jury never heard the witness's earlier description of where he was in relation to Brown.

Yes, at least TWO witnesses have been identified as unreliable. This case isn't over yet.

The grand jury hearing was a sham. The prosecutor used it as a venue for presenting a defense case for the cop, not as a process for the grand jury to evaluate the facts of the case and decide if a trial was needed. Bullshit from beginning to end.

This old pig should be put in his own jail, not for owing money but because he deserves it.

Now it appears there may be some kind of organized Ferguson backlash underway.  This is some scary-ass shit.
