BTW - watching the riots everyone guaranteed would happen after the announcement even if no indictment
These reporters are ridiculous. I think the prosecutor is doing a nice job with his presentation under difficult circumstances.
I flipped through a couple chnls covering it... several of them cut off the prosecutor's speech to show outrage from the crowd and speculation from talking heads.You should be listening to the Prosecutor now. He is covering your points.
They are unreliable when done in good conscience, i.e. honestly. It appears some witnesses here outright lied/knowingly fabricated.
Yeah, I'd always heard that but I never understood to what degree until I listened to this press conference.Yup, proves that eye witness accounts are the most unreliable.
This is pretty quiet. Shit has not hit the fan.

Wouldn't it have been wise to release the grand jury decision earlier in the day, so the initial blowback happened during daylight hours? I don't envy the police in the STL area tonight, assuming they release the decision yet this evening.
I think the comprehensive statement about the process, the witnesses, and the decision, may actually have helped.
Ya think? On day one, witnesses were saying he was shot in the back. That lasted until the autopsy reports came out.
Jesus these people are stupid. One of the reporters just asked McCulloch if the were looking at changing the laws so a police officer cant just kill a child and get away with it, because this isn't justice.
WHAT????

This is what I find most baffling about this. The autopsy pretty much refuted every single "mainstream media" eyewitness and yet people kept parroting the "hands up don't shoot" bullshit. None of the major outlets kept refuting it, they just let it go. Then they give Ben Crump a free ride every time they interviewed him, refused to challenge him on the bullshit.
All you had to do is look at the autopsy and dismiss every single major witness and actually go with more of the leaked (intentional or not) stuff. That and CTH had the forensics pegged as far as where the shooting started and stopped and where the shell casings were.
Yeah, nevermind this "child" was huge, assaulted somebody before he met wilson, assaulted wilson, tried to disarm him, was shot, ran away, and then RAN TOWARDS Wilson. For fucks sake you fucking morons.
Baffle with bullshit.
