‘Activists’ Call For Bypassing Grand Jury, Immediate Arrest Of Officer Wilson
For ‘Murder’ Of Mike Brown
Due Process? What’s that?
Quote: Activists crowded into a Missouri church Sunday to demand the arrest of the white police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black 18-year-old in August, sparking weeks of protest and a national debate on policing and race. “We’re calling for the immediate arrest of Officer Darren Wilson,” said Rev. Carlton Lee, the pastor of the Flood Christian Church in Country Club Hills, Missouri, a community adjacent to the city of Ferguson, where Michael Brown was shot dead on Aug. 9.
Brown’s parents, who did not speak at the 3:30 p.m. ET event, stood solemnly behind Rev. Lee. The slain teen’s father, Michael Brown Sr., wore a t-shirt that said “Arrest Him Now” above a photo of Wilson. Rev. Lee said officials should “bypass” a grand jury that is reviewing evidence in the shooting death of Brown, and instead immediately charge Wilson in Brown’s death. Anthony Gray, the Brown family attorney, stressed that the activists calling for Wilson’s arrest were not “anti-police,” and that they merely wanted to see justice served for Brown’s surviving relatives.
In an interview with The Associated Press last Saturday, Brown’s parents said they were unmoved by an apology the Ferguson police chief gave weeks after Brown was killed. “An apology would be when Darren Wilson has handcuffs, processed and charged with murder,” Brown Sr. said.

Several interrupted a symphony this weekend.
I think some people are getting tired of the protests and the local news keeps eating it up. So much so that many people have stopped watching the local news because the first 5 stories are just a rehash of what's happened.

You could always skip the Trial and just hang the Cop from a tree in the courthouse square.

Looks like some Americans are ready to do away with the judicial system.

Once he's arrested, the clock starts running on speedy trial. If they arrest before they have the case completely put together, there's a huge risk that they'll have to go to trial missing things. That's how people like O.J. and George Zimmerman beat their murder raps. Is that what the rabble rousers want?

The rabble-rousers only want attention.

And you will pretend to act like they speak for anyone whose politics skew left of your own. Ah...the cycle goes on.
