Well all of us can go through it since they just released it.How can you say that? Were you privy to all of the information that the grand jury was? Did you witness the shooting?
I understand that the justice system in this country is kinda messed up. I also feel for the plight of minorities.... but why does this shit only happen when a black person is involved?? Because a black man (who just robbed a store) was shot we automatically need a pound of flesh no matter the facts? Do you think that there would be riots in the streets if this were a white guy that got shot? Would it have even made the evening news?
I don't want a pound of flesh, I'm simply stating other people don't have the same experience we do (white people). I did stupid shit when I was young. I talked back to the police, I stole stupid shit. Hell I wore a "Fuck the Police" shirt back in the day.
Point being a grand jury isn't a trial, it has a lesser burden of proof. From the start, the grand jury was given free reign and the police did everything in their power along with the prosecutor to protect their own. The police officers story could very well be true and is just an unfortunate incident. Yet the powers that be did everything from the get go to protect the officer, ignore the community's populace and further cause discontent.
