Can you relate what the release of this video showed to those watching it?

I am totally clueless.

I went on an internet fast starting late on Wed-Thursday, and ending jsut one half hour ago. I couldn't stomach what I heard from participants on Al Sharpton's show on Wed afternoon. I knew i deserved a holiday, as does everyone else, and this matter made it hard for me to feel good about anything.

To think that the prosecutor had allowed juror members to see paperwork on which Michael Brown was listed as the assailant against Police Officer Wilson, with Wilson's name being followed by the word "victom" that turne dmy stomach.

Prosecutor and now interntionally known Liar McCullough was supposed to put together a case FOR Michael Brown, but instead he was allowed to do the exact oopposite!
