In reply to the discussion: Union: Ferguson officer does not expect charges [View all]branford
(4,462 posts)25. You avoided my question.
Are you demanding that Wilson should be indicated or convicted regardless of the actual evidence available to the authorities and the Constitutional presumption of innocence? If so, or anything even remotely close, not only is that morally dubious, I fail to see how that improves the racial disparities in the criminal justice system that you claim you wish to eliminate.
Moreover, it appears that the federal authorities are unlikely to indict. Are you claiming the Eric Holder is also manipulating or ignoring evidence to protect Wilson? If so, why?
