In reply to the discussion: St. Louis prosecutor McCulloch roasted online for indicting everybody but Darren Wilson [View all]3catwoman3
(23,973 posts)15. I watched this last night with my 24 yr old son.
You could tell before he finished his first sentence, what he was going to announce.
We both noticed, without prompting each other, that when McCulloch spoke of the long list of the diverse characteristics of the grand jury (age, occupations, etc, etc), the one he did NOT make mention of was race.
We were also both shocked at his tone deaf words regarding how unfair the proceedings had been to the grand jury members - how they had given up their lives inorder to serve on the jury. Astonishing poor choice of words, considering there is a dead 18 yr old who truly did give up his life.

He is an example of a blue dog in a blue dog state. Not really interested in justice of any kind.

His explanation of how the evidence was conflicting could have been funny if not so sad. Obviously
