A grand jury made the long-awaited announcement Monday (November 24) night on the early August shooting.

A grand jury ruled Officer Darren Wilson should not face any of the five charges possible in the volatile summer shooting case, which ranged from first-degree murder to involuntary manslaughter. The announcement was made as the streets began to fill in the St. Louis suburb that has been the epicenter of race and police unrest for months. (Boston Herald)

The prosecution noted how much evidence played into the decision.

“Their is no question Darren Wilson caused the death of Michael Brown,” said prosecutor Robert McCulloch, who added Wilson also had a right at “self defense” or to act as a law enforcement officer. “The duty of the grand jury is to separate fact from fiction,” McCulloch added in a televised address inside a courthouse in Clayton, Mo. “They are the only people, the only people who have … examined every piece of evidence.” (Boston Herald)

Reports claim Ferguson police came prepared for possible rioting following the verdict’s announcement.

The decision set off a new wave of anger among hundreds who gathered outside the Ferguson Police Department. Police in riot gear stood in a line as demonstrators chanted and threw signs and other objects toward them as the news spread. One woman said: “The system failed us again.” (New York Times)

Instead of promoting protest or expressing anger, Michael’s father asked for peace in a video released last week.

“My family and I are hurting. Our whole region is hurting. I thank you for lifting your voices to interracial profiling and police intimidation. But hurting others or destroying property is not the answer,” he said. “No matter what the grand jury decides, I do not want my son’s death to be in vain. I want it to lead to incredible change, positive change, change that makes the St. Louis region better for everyone. We live here together. This is our home. We are strongly united. Continue to lift your voices with us and let’s work together to heal and create lasting change for all people regardless of race.” (NBC News)

  1. America is a post racial society of equal opportunity where all is fair. Racism no longer exists. White privilege is a fabricated concept manufactured by Blacks to explain away their failures (after all, we have a Black president right?). The criminal justice system is fair and just and Black people should have complete and sound faith in the system and from here on out should display trust in the pig police officers who are currently toasting the grand jury’s corrupted verdict.

    • how can i be racist all my servants are black and i let them off to vote for obama….i love basketball them boys run fast and jump high…they really Provide a great source of entertainment…

      • Lol exactly. Plus I listen to Jay-z, I think slavery was wrong, and think Kerry Washington is hot. But oppression and racism was hundreds of years ago. I think if Black people worked hard, got educated, stopped committing crimes, learned to be docile and obedient, and stopped looking for handouts they could live the American dream making decent money as corporate slaves or department store clerks. All that wanting to be treated like human beings is cacophony.

        They need to abandon Al and Jesse and praise true Black leaders like Larry Elders or Bill Cosby!

        • hey its not like i asked him to wipe my ass…i just want them to clean my floor on his hands and knees then pick up my kids and do any thing i feel to smart to do for myself….i graduated top of the class why should i have to do anything for my self …when i can help some poor so their so clearly uneducated with out a single smart thought person by paying them to do all the things , i know im to good to do for myself…. i make 150 a year and have a degree that says masters why should i ever lower my self to be the considered the same of lower frequency african Americans. beings ..by the way let me African so you know this not your land….

  2. Oh man so shocking! Time to burn our own town down, because we’re so upset and so surprised! Yeah that’s a much better solution than to start looking out for one another, stop gang banging, start supporting our own businesses & circulating our money through our own communities, building townships, and hiring our own cops whom WE can hold accountable. Naww eff that lame ish lets show them how we’ll burn down the Walmart in our own town. Next week we gotta go shop with the white folks and probably get pulled over for coming to their part of town and somebody’ll get shot again.

    • not that easy to start your own when new land is not being made… also lets not forget the power controlled by some is power stolen from day one…i fully agree and respect your thought…but at this point its truly like trying to race a skate board against a jaguar….anything that we would buy to build ours would come from them and in essence we cant build us with out building them…and when being honest why should isolation from a land we built ever be considered…..ab Lincoln shot that thought along time ago…X did as well…your right about the back lash leading to fear which we lead to reason for another murder….but that walmart destroyed does not belong to us and if it is lucrative it will be rebuilt…lets not forget insurance….no action can equal a life lost….but seeing them scared and uneasy is what feel like everyday….and thats the message….we are not saying hey lets burn this down just for fun…or even because poverty is killing us…no not the case…we are just hurt and upset that no way of behavior helps us win….we cant set up our own court system…that sitting around feeling out paper work is a miss for me….they kill us and we are just suppose to say ok we will stay quiet and be peaceful…riots dont fix the problem but they offer a much needed release of pressure….there is no magic solution that will appease all…some are cut from the cloth of warriors and only offer strength while others may be weak in body but strong in spirit and thought processing…Lynch wins again

      • “no action can equal a life lost”

        Sorry to say.. But he knew damn well that this could happen. HE ROBBED A STORE. HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN SHOT BY THE STORE OWNER.

        I’m sorry but he knew the chance he took when he committed the crime. You can’t just go and rob stores and not think “Hey, I could get shot”

        • are you forgetting that man that shot up a whole movie theater ..he did it no question and still got a trial…what about arias…she gave oh boy the business and she still didnt get the death penalty or should we bring up casey anthony the mother that killed her own baby to party and lied to the court about it…
          why should you think hey i can get when in America its innocent until proven guilty…are you saying he should have realize that he knew he was black and would not get a fare shot…cause if so your right…..but again all i listed above did crimes and still got their day in court….if he guilty fine….but give him a day in court…give his parent a chance to come up with enough money to buy his problem away like the european Americans get….

        • no disrespect you as a person but that statement is no where near what happens european children mess up…they get second third and fourth chances…if that wont worked its said that they were forced there by bullys always an excuse for theirs mean while we are expected to live a perfect life..kids make mistake its apart of being a kid….i little boy killed his cousin playing wrestling and got life…mean while a little girl shot a man with a uzzi and didnt do a day….

        • im not saying he innocent..im saying stop killing us and saying its ok cause we did a crime or had a hoody or played music to loud…
          Trayvon Killed by a fucking neighbor hood watchmen…why cause george thought he was up to something he was wrong kid still dead…
          Jordan davis played his music loud at public location so he is killed lastly this case…all were young black men unarmed excused before proof of any wrong doing and all are dead even though fact say Americans are entitled to a trial first…i can shoot any one i want guess what i still have to get a trial none of these men got that right…not that it would have been fare but that a whole other case….
          We riot cause stupid people make excuse’s for horrible people….

          Zimmerman killed a kid and hundreds donated money for him to walk away free….what kind of evil person wants a child killer to get away with it just cause he was black or a smoked weed….
          charlie sheen said he coke on tv and never did a day….

      • Ok after that release of stress now what? We don’t have to abandon America…but why not buy up land & property in Africa or other places? Why not form communities, towns and suburbs where we control everything from who’s mayor to the police chief and in between? Why not invest in Haiti, Jamiaica and all throughout the Caribs in mass? No we don’t own any factories, so we would have to buy from them initially, but you have to start somewhere. You what protesting did….nothing? I not saying completing give anything up. But we should focus of group economics. And if we can’t do that, things will never get better. I believe within the next 2 generations sh!t is going to be as bad as it was before the 60’s.

        • After tears hit the hard soil becomes softer.making it easier to plant new seeds. But with every lost. Comes a review. We will continue to be strong. Strength is our curse snd ally . Round 12345678910 all your we got next

    • The cop who shot him showed no respect for his life. I’m not blaming looters.

      • Sorry to say.. But he knew damn well that this could happen. HE ROBBED A STORE. HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN SHOT BY THE STORE OWNER.

        I’m sorry but he knew the chance he took when he committed the crime. You
        can’t just go and rob stores and not think “Hey, I could get shot”

        • He allegedly stole an item, not robbed a store. Big difference.
          The price of stealing should not be murder. Period.

          • the countries they consider to be third world would not have said ok to death maybe a hand chop but not death on the first time around….My being is not a crime…

    • so if there looking for an excuse why not riot because they hungry….no sorry your wrong i respect you but your train of thought is not a accurate description of the chaos started in the name of another man being tried judged and juried by a single cop….every american is entitled to their day in court….we are not illegal immigrants so what reason do they have to with hold justice…not saying that trial will be fare but at least my family can say bye before u wrongly accuse me and send me to death row…
