The British newspaper the Daily Mail offers a piece on the Grand Jury decision not to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown. The Daily Mail's web site also offers some good photos and videos.
Explosive evidence heard by the grand jury in the Michael Brown case has been released following the panel's decision not to indict Fergusion police officer Darren Wilson.
The evidence, unveiled by St Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch, includes the testimony of 28-year-old Wilson after he fatally shot the unarmed black 18-year-old on August 9.
It also features never-before seen photos of the white officer's injuries, clothing and car - from which he fired two rounds at Brown - witness statements and more then 1,000 other legal documents.
It comes just hours after after McCulloch announced the jury of seven men and five women found 'no probable cause exisits' to indict Wilson in the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
In his testimony, the officer described the moment he shot Brown - minutes after the 'aggressive' teenager taunted him by saying 'You're too much of a f****** p***y to shoot me'.

People who denounce the white-on-black police shooting as criminal behavior completely miss the central issue: the cancerous, self-destructive deterioration of civility and personal responsibility within some portions of society.
ReplyDeleteI think the deterioration is on the verge of worsening before we can hope for any improvements. Even within university classrooms, I witness subtle signs of that deterioration. It is a very sad condition.
(Note: The legacy of LBJ's "Great Society" deserves much of the responsibility.)
Perhaps a month of Navy boot camp would teach them some manners and discipline...
