FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) Missouri police have been brushing up on constitutional rights and stocking up on riot gear to prepare for a grand jury's decision about whether to charge a white police officer who fatally shot a black 18-year-old in suburban St. Louis.
The preparations are aimed at avoiding a renewed outbreak of violence during the potentially large demonstrations that could follow an announcement of whether Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson will face a criminal trial for the Aug. 9 death of Michael Brown

I have very little faith that the system is going to work in this case. The prosecutor gets to pick and choose what they show the jury.

article, unless one goes in for recycled KKK and John Birch Society drivel. I could only last through about 2-3 comment sub threads before bailing out in absolute disgust.

They are rampant with racists and the religious extremists.

That if an alien species arrived and read them, I suspect they'd just nuke us from high orbit and move on in search of intelligent lifeforms.

They should have little trouble preventing that. It is called Command Authority.
