(14,733 posts)I tipped, although I think the 'WILL be hell to pay for it' probably leads some to think you're suggesting protesters will resort to violence, even though you haven't suggested any such thing, merely pointed out the fear and paranoia of the surrounding communities.
The prosecutor has gone out of his way to make a no bill the most likely outcome while still covering his own ass by not actually telling the grand jury it's the outcome he wants. I HOPE the grand jury is honest enough to return a result that matches the actions taken by Wilson against Brown after they left the vicinity of the car, but I'm cynical enough to think that all of the leaks suggest they're not going to.
But there simply can't continue to be one set of laws for the general public, and a different set for police, that allow them to employ violence at will with no chance of punishment, no matter how often they kill unarmed members of the public. That has to end.
