For the "let's wait for the facts" crowd. We already have several facts.

105. precisely because that's the OPPOSITE of what he knows

"why would Officer Wilson commit cold-blooded murder ( in broad daylight ) knowing he would surely be tried, convinced and sentenced to prison?"

i can't recall a single instance of a cop tried, convicted, and sentenced on a murder charge on duty, much less a white cop for killing a black male. i know of a few cases where cops were indicted and tried for some (imho) rather outrageous acts of lethal force, but every one eventually results in acquittal. Apparently, even self-appointed cops like George Zimmerman can hunt and kill black teenagers without criminal repercussions.

Who prosecutes a cop? Typically the very same organization that works with the police force to obtain convictions of ordinary civilians. From where i sit, i'll just say there seems to be a distinct lack of eagerness on the part of DA's to aggressively prosecute police misconduct, and police departments across the country act like they know this.
