Federal civil rights charges unlikely against police officer in Ferguson shooting

110. I have not formed an opinion as to Wilson's guilt or innocence.

I'm not trying to "win" a discussion on an internet forum. I simply want to see all the evidence before making any judgments. Why you you object?

If Wilson actually murdered Brown, I sincerely hope that there is sufficient and clear evidence available to secure a conviction. Similarly, if a crime was not committed or it cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, Wilson should go free. Wilson cannot and should not, however, be convicted as a some sort of symbol of racism, in Ferguson or anywhere else.

I also do not understand you criticisms of my "legalese." All I've stated are some of the most basic and intrinsic protections in our Constitution, all of which actually protect minorities in the legal system, and which we all learn about as early as grade school.

What exactly do you object to: The presumption of innocence? That the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Grand juries? Due process? Federalism?
