re: #139 leftynyc

Well, this person doesn’t understand that this is a grand jury, that the prosecutor (who has a history of not prosecuting cops involved in excessive force or officer-involved shootings) is reluctantly taking the case to the grand jury, doesn’t have a problem with the multitude of leaks coming either from the grand jury itself or from his own office in violation of state law, and is just throwing together all the evidence in such a way that if an indictment is not returned, he’ll claim that they saw all the evidence and that it was justified.

Of course, if he wanted to indict, he could create the narrative needed to get an indictment (after all, the old adage about being able to indict a ham sandwich topped with provel didn’t come out of thin air).

This person is absolutely convinced that I’m the one who is blind to the truth, even though there’s so much evidence indicating the shooting wasn’t justified, that the leaks all point to a prosecutor unwilling and incapable of controlling the process to see justice done, and a police force that began screwing with the integrity of the case from the moment Wilson fatally shot Brown.
