THE NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION RESPONDS TO THE GRAND JURYS DECISION NOT TO INDICT POLICE OFFICER DARREN WILSON IN THE SHOOTING DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN
WASHINGTON, DC The National Bar Association is questioning how the Grand Jury, considering the evidence before them, could reach the conclusion that Darren Wilson should not be indicted and tried for the shooting death of Michael Brown. National Bar Association President Pamela J. Meanes expresses her sincere disappointment with the outcome of the Grand Jurys decision but has made it abundantly clear that the National Bar Association stands firm and will be calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue federal charges against officer Darren Wilson. We will not rest until Michael Brown and his family has justice states Pamela Meanes, President of the National Bar Association.
(snip)
The family of Michael Brown requested that District Attorney McCullough step aside and allow a special prosecutor be assigned to the investigation to give the community confidence that the grand jury would conduct a complete and thorough investigation into the tragic shooting death of 18 year old Michael Brown. The grand jurys decision confirms the fear that many expressed months ago that a fair and impartial investigation would not happen.
The National Bar Association is adamant about our desire for transformative justice. While we are disappointed with the grand jurys ruling, we are promoting peace on every street corner around the world. The only way to foster systemic change is to organize, educate, and mobilize. We are imploring everyone to fight against the injustice in Ferguson, Missouri and throughout the United States by banding together and working within the confines of the law, states President Meanes.

No, they weren't given a range of charges. To suggest they were is just plain false.
