    split screen.

    obama is speaking in one half of the screen talking about peace, while the other frame shows police putting down the protest with gas. crazy to watch...

    Sad to see Obama speaking to peacefulness on the right side of the screen, and a (police?) car being rocked, and what I assume is tear gas smoke floating around.

    What a fucking shame.

    The Obama speech split screened next to shots of tear gas being fired is surreal.

    On the same page at the same time, gimme and Jimmy.

    "...there is inevitably going to be some negative reaction, and it will make for good TV..."

    Exactly. I'm gonna turn it off for now.

    Stay safe St Louis.

    yeah that is the folksy way that people in rural areas say missouri. people like me call it Misery.

    Calling it as i see it without seeing the evidence...
    Prosecutor did a good job explaining why no indictment, although it seemed like it was an indictment of witnesses, he did lay out what he thought the gj based their decision on.
    Additional credit also for answering unscripted questions, not often do we see that.
    I'm sure the information that is released was thoroughly scrubbed, I'm sure it will be scrubbed by investigators journalists.
    I'm looking forward to seeing it, specifically when Wilson's testimony was in relation to other testimony and what he had to say.
    Only time will tell..Lets hope none are hurt in the aftermath.

    Not surprisingly, I've seen many Brown supporters saying on FB things like "I expected no indictment, cops always stand up for each other."

    I'm wondering if they know at all how the criminal justice system works.

    prosecutor's father was a policeman murdered by a black man.

    That's is a whole other can of worms if you look into that incident.

    it is funny. people like ed who just visit call us st. lou or st louie. nobody here calls us that.

    there are a lot of good people here. very hospitable people. also the klan is here too, but i imagine they like david allen coe instead of pearl jam.

    It's a little bit relevant. Cops stick up for each other, but not just cops, the whole justice system. Prosecutors, DA's, judges, cops, they are all in it together *to a certain extent*
