The St. Louis prosecutor in the Michael Brown’s case is being criticized for not being forceful in seeking an indictment against officer Darren Wilson. The prosecutor said his office would present all the evidence on both sides in the case. Critics said by doing so the prosecutor was making sure that an indictment wouldn’t be returned against Wilson. Should the prosecutor have been forceful in making the case against Wilson, or was he merely doing his job?

“Get over it. The grand jury made their decision based on the evidence. Accept it and move on.”

“How about don’t rob and rough up a store clerk. Stop, don’t run and try to fight the police. Then maybe there would be no need for a grand jury. One last thing, try and find a job and pay taxes like most working people.”

“Innocent till proven guilty.”

“That’s a trial jury’s rule to follow, not a grand jury’s. Just because grand sounds bigger doesn’t mean their role is bigger than it really is.”

“The media should stop referring to Michael Brown as a victim. He is not the victim. He strong armed a small built convenience store owner into ‘giving’ him cigars that he had no intention of paying for. He arrogantly carried his stolen merchandise so that it could be seen. He walked down the center of the street to call attention to himself. He had smoked pot earlier that day. When a police officer seen that Brown fit the description of the thief who robbed a convenience store, he asked Brown to stand on the sidewalk. Brown hit the officer and tried to steal his gun. A shot was fired that hit Brown’s thumb. Brown ran and the officer, trained to pursue criminals, gave chase. Brown turned and charged the officer like a bull. He got shot. There were two victims in this crime. The convenience store proprietor and the law enforcement officer. There was one criminal…Michael Brown.”

“If Michael is not the victim, then our prosecutorial/ judicial system needs a complete overhaul. Racism is not becoming on anyone.”

“From what I’m reading, the DA’s office should be looked at closely and this “prosecutor” fired. This is very unusual procedure, unless you want the officer to not face charges.”

“For a prosecutor, this guy sure sounded like he was a defense attorney. It’s his job to get an indictment, not to avoid one!”

“Look at the statistics on this prosecutor and you will find a probable bias, certainly enough to have selected another prosecutor, or conducted a preliminary hearing. They want this to be over, and trampled a trial in doing so. It was a slick move on their part.

“Why can’t we all just get along?.”
