    These idiots on CNN are just standing there while tear gas is being peppered on them. Fucking leave! What the hell is wrong with those people?!?

    I was just thinking the same thing. These people are crazy.

    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.

    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*
    But grand juries are made up of civilians. And with all of the evidence presented, there simply wasn't enough evidence combined with unreliable eyewitness accounts.

    I would be very surprised if the prosecutor with held or tampered with evidence.

    It does look like the police and national guard is doing a relatively good job stopping the rioting. The tear gas is working wonders.

    Yes but they work together to decide what evidence gets presented and how it is presented to the civilians and that can have a HUGE effect sometimes.

    We've had protesting for a month or so now and it hasn't been too bad, lots of college kids protesting, nowhere near as bad as the north city stuff. I just hope they don't destroy grand.

    Yeah, I just don't have the heart or whatever it could be labeled as, to make fun or jokes at this point.

    Bit of decorum or circumspect? If not, not. Figured I'd toss it out there.
