Next he needs to move out of the country. jillan Nov 2014 #1

he is either fleeing having to run the riots when they let the cop off or he's roguevalley Nov 2014 #35

They must know that he will not be indicted so this a crumb to the community. I hope some good kelliekat44 Nov 2014 #66

I am hoping for some civil action as well. jillan Nov 2014 #67

Yes, that seems to be the only way out. However, I suspect he turned everything he owns over to jwirr Nov 2014 #106

Great, so now he can go and get a job in Chesterfield, or University City, or Ballwin . . . hatrack Nov 2014 #2

Next he needs to go to jail! sheshe2 Nov 2014 #3

That's right! Jail time for the murderer. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #12

There's usually a trial and conviction before sentencing . . . nt branford Nov 2014 #14

True... sheshe2 Nov 2014 #17

Please stop conflating and confusing the responsibiliy of a grand jury with KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #21

I am well aware of the differences between a grand jury and trial jury. branford Nov 2014 #23

Well many here also believe that Michael Brown is guilty because of the color of his skin. nt sheshe2 Nov 2014 #25

Are you implying I'm a racist for not prejudging criminal guilt and discussing the relevant law? branford Nov 2014 #32

Will he sue for a big heafty amount for mindwalker_i Nov 2014 #5

he is probably getting a couple hundred grand to resign and waive righs to a lawsuit. Travis_0004 Nov 2014 #8

Good to hear this. The chief's saying he'd be back at work was idiotic. He needs to move away, too, freshwest Nov 2014 #6

The police chief was the root cause of the escalation. He's a rank amateur and unfit for duty! n/t RKP5637 Nov 2014 #15

He's a troublemaker of the worst kind! Will he be fired? freshwest Nov 2014 #38

You are suggesting the grand jurors have made a decision. morningfog Nov 2014 #86

What part of "not announced" are you unable to comprehend? jeff47 Nov 2014 #88

You don't have to be such a dick. morningfog Nov 2014 #90

Apparently I do, since you keep asking for official announcements when I explicitly say none exist. jeff47 Nov 2014 #91
