No grand Jury indictment. What are your thoughts?

So what do you think of the decision not to go forward? I personally believe it was the right decision and am saddened for the residents that have to endure what is to come.

I believe that the jurors heard from all the witnesses and saw all the evidence made the right decision. Everyone that was not in the courtroom does not know all angles of this case as tragic as it was.

I strongly feel they jury made the right call. Most of the evidence against Wilson came from the Brown family-hired coroner. No bias there I'm sure. The decisive evidence in his favor was the blood spatter inside the vehicle and the finger. So I 100% feel Wilson acted well within legal bounds and was justified in the shooting.

The jury heard all evidence so I'll stand with their decision. As for the local community's response to their decision, nothing says (false) racial prejudice than burning down all of the local business and inciting violence. It's really shameful that anytime an incident occurs and the people involved just happened by chance to be of different races, it's automatically racism.

IMO it's difficult to offer an opinion without ALL of the facts. I can only tell you I would NOT want to be empaneled in the Grand Jury to make this decision. No matter what decision is made they will be deemed wrong in their actions.

Personally I think that considering some of the testimony, the credibility issues with some of the witnesses, and the autopsy results, I think it was the right decision. As to the blatant race baiting and interference by Eric Holder and Al Sharpton, I think those things are despicable. As to the rioting in the streets, as well as the general lawlessness that seems to be pervading across the country as revenge killings and beatings happen all across the country, stop turning a blind eye to it. It would seem that suddenly it is okay to pull this kind of crap because you think life is unfair. I personally think that they should stop being politically correct and send a clear message that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. You want to riot, go ahead, but when you commit acts of violence and loot people's businesses, don't you dare cry foul when they have to scrape what's left of you off the pavement. Start acting like civilized human beings, and stop acting like ignorant animals.

People have problems with authority, don't want to be told what to do, don't listen if a cop is giving directions.....they are asking for trouble. That being said, there is "no" reason th kill an unarmed man (too many other options) and it should not have taken (6) six cops to take the guy in New York down....

I have faith in our system and know that the Grand Jury receives much more information than the general public. My opinion is that the decisions they render are probably correct.
