If they don't indict, they don't indict.

Id they do indict and they have a weak case they are just kicking the can down the road, making sure that protests and lynch-mob-minded people will be grabbing headlines for months and in the end we'll be facing possibly bigger disturbances if Wilson is acquitted.

If I were a merchant in Ferguson, I would sue the Government for money to move elsewhere, because the protests and near-riots have made my future impossible in the face mishandling of this entire issue.

Probably, but that doesn't mean what's happened to those businesses was just.

We could go and ask if the shooting was too, but whats the point in asking in hindsight?

Were the merchants responsible for the shooting? Strange analogy.

No but when a mob gets ugly and worked up and looting starts (it only take one person to start) the merchants suffer.

I'm sure there are a number of people not of color that have been wronged by the police but I don't see these people rioting and looting because the justice system allegedly failed them. May I ask the question, "why is it only the people of color that behave in such a way when they don't get what they want"? And, btw, I've already got my flack jacket out.

Well,if you were a person of color,you wouldn't need to ask that question.

In any case, its been known far and wide that this whole business was going the 'other way',meaning Nothing would happen.

Its the way the system works.

The case is far from over, Edwards. Certainly there will be a civil trial. And there may be a federal indictment although I don't think that's going to happen. But this is far from over.

Do you mean if I were a person of color I would know why it's okay to loot, create arson and otherwise wreck havoc when a decision doesn't go in my favor?
