I've been flipping between MSNBC, CNN and FOX for the last hour to see how those networks are spinning things. It's almost comical.
Why on earth are they waiting eight or nine hours before they announce whether they are indicting or not?? Seriously, it's nuts. Half an hour ago CNN said there were maybe 75 protesters on the street. Sooo, how many were actually out at noon today when they made their decision? Why wait so long? Why wait until night time. Stupid.
Outside the courthouse in Clayton where the grand jury was being held, there were NO protesters, but streets were blocked off, all stores closed, FOX said there was quite a big police presence.
Greta Vansustern was interviewing the coroner, she kept trying to spin it as that the officer shot Brown while Brown was attacking him. When the coroner said that two or three of the bullets went through the top of his head and into his chest, as if he was bent over either falling or bending and shot through the head, Greta said "As if he was lunging to attack?" And the coroner said "If someone could lunge from 35 feet away. He was no closer than 35 feet away when hit by those bullets." Greta quickly ended the interview with him.... of course.
All the networks are spinning this, and I think they are all disappointed that hardly any protesters have shown up and that there is no violence yet.
But seriously, why wait eight or nine hours to make the announcement?

They probably waited for a time when they felt fatigue had set into the protesters. Pretty smart actually.
I don't know about you but I pulled this off of Huff Post. It states that Brown and the officer had a struggle in the car. I've heard similar stories since this story broke. So how did your coroner come up with the 35 foot theory?
QUOTE The St. Louis medical examiner, Dr. Michael Graham, who is not part of the official investigation, reviewed the autopsy report for the newspaper. He said Tuesday that it “does support that there was a significant altercation at the car.”
Graham said the examination indicated a shot traveled from the tip of Brown’s right thumb toward his wrist. The official report notes an absence of stippling, powder burns around a wound that indicate a shot fired at relatively short range.
But Graham said, “Sometimes when it’s really close, such as within an inch or so, there is no stipple, just smoke.”
Another opinion peace, but pretty convincing given her background. CNN

I'm glad there was no indictment and I think waiting until the protestors were wore out was a great idea.
Hopefully the next time some dumb ass tries to attack a cop they'll think twice.

There were 75 protesters six or seven hours after it had been plastered all over the news all day. How many protesters were around at noon? I'd guess alot less than that. But plaster it all over the news for hours, hyping it non stop, just begging for more people to show up, and be all fired up for trouble. There sure are a lot more than 75 now and many of them sure are out for making trouble.

The coroner who Greta Van Susteren interviewed also said there was an altercation at the car and that Michael Brown had gunpowder residue on his hand which he probably got at the car. But he said the two or three shots to the head were received in a bent over position from no less than 35 feet away. The prosecutor who just gave the decision on live TV said there were three autopsies done and all three were pretty much consistent with each other. So I'm assuming all three had the 35 feet theory? He has released all the information and evidence given to the grand jury to the public. That would include all three autopsy reports.
I'm just wondering, do all officers carry tasers or just some? Seems that there would be fewer things like this if tasers were utilized more often. I'm just not sure if all officers have them or not.

If the video doesn't automatically load and play from my link, it's the video titled Forensics VS Ferguson grand jury findings.

They're looting the store where the thug stole the cigars. They get victimized over and over again and they didn't do anything wrong.

Too many dumbasses doing too many dumbass things there right now. It's not as bad as I feared it would be though. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.

Most cops carry tazers these days. But if a guy matching the description of the robbery suspect stuck his hands in my patrol vehicle, you can bet your arse he would be feeling more than an electric shock.

Well, I would completely agree with you if the whole thing took place at the car, but once the guy ran away and the officer started chasing him things change. I would think an officer would realize he's not in danger any more and would use a taser instead of a gun. The officer fired 12 times, hit Brown six or seven times. Hit him two or three times from 35 feet.
I just happen to think a taser might have been a better choice. 
I could never be a police officer. I don't have the patience, and I detest how police are often mistreated and disrespected just because they are police. But I also think that some police go about things the wrong way sometimes, and incidents like this are one of those things. It happens too often.
35 feet away....taser, then jail.
