Today, supposedly, a grand jury convenes in Missouri to examine the facts surrounding the death of Michael Brown at the hands of FPD officer Darren Wilson, to determine if an indictable crime has been committed.  One talking head on TV even said that hearsay would be permitted there, which if true is nothing less than a travesty.

The grand jury review itself, it would seem, is coming awfully early.  The general public does not realize how long it takes to complete a homicide investigation. The toxicology screen on the deceased, which can be a critical factor, may or may not have been completed yet, but to the best of my knowledge such results have not yet been released to the public.

Members of the grand jury will be under tremendous social and political pressure to indict.  The state’s own governor has, incredibly, called for “vigorous prosecution.”   Damn shame he didn’t have the integrity to call for “vigorous investigation” instead.  One should not be convicted before trial in the Governor’s Mansion instead of in a courtroom.

The smell of mob rule is growing stronger, and more fetid.

Also today, Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to be on the ground in Ferguson for investigative purposes.  Many pundits expect him to visit with the family of the deceased; certainly, there’s nothing wrong with that.

But I sincerely hope that the AG, our nation’s chief law enforcement officer, will visit the family of the injured officer as well.

  1. Politicians respond to the most vocal, largest, most violent group. Civil unrest terrifies them. History shows their willingness to sacrifice the innocent to placate the mob. This is shaping up to be another modern day lynching.

    Going back to the anti-war /civil rights riots of the ’60’s , the public has been bombarded by the media and academia with the notion that police officers, especially white male police officers, are somehow a lesser form of life who’s every action is suspect. He is pre-judged to be a racist, a bigoted, neanderthal, who only took the job to go out and use his authority to bully people that he would otherwise be to cowardly to confront.

    Do such officers exist? Of course. Are they the norm? Of course not. Like any other profession, they are weeded out when they become evident.

    Evidently the propaganda has worked though. Some, otherwise reasonable people, seem to be willing to throw out common sense when it comes judging law enforcement.

    Hopefully none of them will ever be in a position to be the target of a lynch mob and be in need of the rule of law. It only works when it applies equally to everyone. Even a white male cop.

  5. I have a feeling that Officer Wilson will be thrown under the bus. Whether or not his actions were justified seems to be of little importance to those who prefer mob rule and political expediency. If his actions were justified, those in power simply don’t have the stomach to deal with the outrage from the black community that will result from his not being prosecuted.

    If it is proven that he did act inappropriately, he of course should be held to account. The problem is I don’t see much effort being put into an honest investigation to prove or disprove anything. It’s all about political grandstanding, the appeasement of the grievance agitators, and the furtherance of an agenda that the USAG has on domestic race relations.

    This is a very sad time for our criminal justice system.

  7. A visit by AG Eric Holder is just window dressing. I doubt that, if he were white, that he would even be going to MO.
    Mas is right, a grand jury usually takes much longer to
    be seated.

    WT from previous post–what you were trying to think of was the Tueller Drill. Named after Dennis Tueller.

  12. With the current administration’s fervent anti-gun violence push, I’m confident that at least a few of the reported 40 plus F.B.I. agents that have been ordered into Ferguson will be assigned to investigate any possible violations of current Federal gun laws by the protesters arrested while in possession of firearms.

    Oops! There I go expecting equal protection from the Justice Department. I keep forgetting my place in this society. Only law abiding citizens are a threat. I apologize for my insolence.

  14. Well this story comes in and boy would it turn the apple cart upside down for the whole Ferguson narrative. I leave it up folks to judge for themselves the validity at the moment. It will get vetted I am sure sooner than later. So we will know the truth. Remember one little tidbit. The guy is the one shown in the video next to Baby Mike in the store. He is the guy that placed the box of cigars BACK on the counter when Mikey handed them to him. Just a factoid….maybe he had a spark of remorse over this whole thing ?

    I haven’t watched TV for 30 years, which may be good or bad, but I haven’t read anything regarding any injuries to the officer. Can you share the nature of those injuries and the source of your information to your readers?

  19. The parallels to Zimmerman/Martin are blatantly obvious.

    Despite physical evidence of a brutal attack and wound channels that support Wilson’s version of events (not to mention the corroboration of 12 witness), this potato is too politically hot for Missouri to handle dispassionately, hence the likely kangaroo trial.

  21. Having served on a grand jury myself, I’m very familiar with their proceedings. For those who are not, usually a state’s attorney (prosecutor) presents cases to the jury for indictment. Evidence for each case is normally summed up by the prosecutor & supported by the testimony of one or more investigative law enforcement officers. The jurors may question the prosecutor & the witnesses directly as much or as little as they want to in order to get a clear understanding of the evidence to determine what crime, if any, has been committed by the accused. Although witnesses for the defense may be allowed to testify at a grand jury hearing if the jury votes to listen to them, it is not very common.

    Because the prosecutor develops a continuing relationship with the jury over a period of time & since the evidence in most cases strongly points to the guilt of the accused, it is often quite easy for a prosecutor to “lead” the jury to an indictment, so that the grand jury is no more than a “rubber stamp” for the prosecution. That is not always the case, though, as the jury I served on would frequently refuse to indict or we would only indict the accused on a lesser charge because the evidence did not support an indictment on the most serious charges.

    From my experience, I agree with Mas that it is way too early for a grand jury to be presented with this case. Most cases are not presented for indictment for at least a couple of weeks in order to gather enough evidence to determine what happened. In the case of officer Darren Wilson, it is not only unclear what happened, it is still unclear what evidence exists to determine what happened or to determine what crimes, if any, he should be charged with.

    I can only conclude that this rush to judgment is a frantic attempt by the prosecutor to lead the grand jurors to an indictment before all of the evidence is in, so as to pacify the public outcry in much the same way as the governor of Missouri has called for a vigorous prosecution. No doubt the prosecutor will remind the jurors that they do not need to find evidence of guilt in order to indict officer Wilson, they only need to determine if a trial is necessary. The timing could backfire on him, though, if the jury refuses to indict, because he would not be allowed to present the case for indictment again until a new grand jury is convened sometime in the future. Let us hope that a majority of the jurors remember that it is just as much a part of their responsibilities to protect the innocent from malicious prosecution by refusing to indict as it is to indict those who need to be tried in a court of law.

  23. It would appear that this offficer was forced to defend himself especially when the bone around an eye was fractured by a punch from that 300 pound 6’4″ Big Stoop. (Terry and the Pirates 1943) Those People can cry annd lie, they can scream and shout,and they can run about but if this officer is rail roaded by These People and this “government administration ” there will be a BIG PROBLEM.

  30. Certainly Eric Holder has an agenda as do all the African American talking heads that have chimed in to get their faces on TV. Seems that’s the only time we hear from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson these days as they have become insignificant in their usual rants and raves about the poor black man. Eric Holder has made it clear by his comments that he will steer this investigation as he sees fit.

    Frankly I find it disturbing that these men are so quick to defend a gangbanger that had minutes before assaulting the Officer had committed a strong armed robbery. Theses men continue to show a blatant disrespect for law enforcement.

    As I have argued on my FB page, I seriously doubt that an otherwise good officer came to work that terrible day and say to himself “I think I’m gonna go and shoot me a black kid” .

    I’m tired of hearing what an angel this kid was when in fact he was nothing but a thug. No one seems interested in what the officer is going through and that in itself is a tragedy. As usual this shooting is being tried in the press so I doubt this officer will get a fair shake. Bowing to political and public pressure he will be thrown under the bus. There is just to much pressure on upper management these days to throw the officer to the wolves instead of backing them up.

    If the Officer is found to have screwed up then by all means he should answer for it but not before ALL THE FACTS ARE IN, not because of emotions and political pressure.

    We are a society bound by laws and without laws their is anarchy and the simple solution is to obey the laws, don’t commit crimes, if confronted by an officer, follow that officers directions.

    I wonder if this had been a white kids shot by a black cop if we would see the rioting and the outrage. Somehow, I don’t think so.
    Myself, I don’t judge people based on their color or heritage. I judge people by their actions and their integrity and that’s the way it should be.

  34. I’m actually surprised, but encouraged, that they have a grand jury looking at it. From what I remember, the Trayvon case did not convene a grand jury, presumably because they would not be able to get an indictment from the given evidence (for good reason).

    The way this has been playing out politically, I suspected officer Wilson would be sent through the motions for his per-ordained conviction.

    Listening to resident near the shooting, who DIDN’T see it, had all types of “witness statements” on their and others’ phone. All opinions.

    If (when) we come to the point that shooting an agreesive black man is no longer viable in court, the all is lost.

  48. On the Sean Hannity radio show, today (8-20-2014) about 14:00 hours, they were reporting that the Officer has a broken eye socket, and did not shoot Brown in the back at all?

    If this turns out to be accurate, it would explain his appearantly poor shooting, and about anything else odd, he may have done, as well?

  50. As to the hearsay that may be permitted at the hearing, I suspect they are referring to the statement or testimony of Officer Wilson about the incident, should he decide to testify. No attorney hear, so I stand ready to be corrected.
