And this is why I'm giving the man money

The issues that came out of a police shooting in Ferguson have shown why cops needs lawyers as well as other services to make sure they can do their job.

In the days immediately following the shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson the usual suspects (The Justice Brothers) were on the scene riling up the locals. And the out of town rent a mobs were there to raid people's businesses. And finally that "activist" Attorney General Eric Holder stuck his stupid nose into the situation and did his best to inflame the people of Ferguson. I don't recall him going to visit the officer who had his address broadcast on CNN and USA TODAY. Not, not be outdone, the moron senator from Missouri has stuck her nose into it.

New fear: What happens in Ferguson if no charges?

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Conditions calmed this week in Ferguson after nights of sometimes violent unrest stemming from the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer. But a delicate and crucial question lingers: What happens if the grand jury now considering the case doesn't return a charge against the officer?

The fear among some local residents and officials trying to maintain peace in Ferguson is that failure to charge the officer could stoke new anger among a community profoundly mistrustful of the legal system. Many say they just hope the grand jury's decision, whatever it is, has irrefutable facts to back it up.

U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill told The Associated Press she's pushing for federal and local investigations to be completed around the same time so that all evidence in the case can be made public — a step many consider important should prosecutors decide not to charge the officer. Her office said Friday that the Department of Justice hasn't given a timeline for the federal investigation, which centers on whether a civil rights violation occurred when officer Darren Wilson fatally shot the unarmed Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

McCaskill, a former prosecutor in Missouri, said she's hopeful the physical evidence in the case — including blood spatter patterns, clothing and shell casings — will provide "incontrovertible facts" about what happened during the shooting. She said whatever local prosecutors decide, it will be important to explain the decision by providing that physical evidence, and that won't be possible if the federal investigation is ongoing.

McCaskill said she urged Attorney General Eric Holder during a meeting earlier this week to speed up what is typically a lengthier federal process.

"What we want to avoid is a decision being made without all the information being available to the public also," McCaskill said, adding that not being able to do so could "create more stress and certainly much more fear that we would be back to worrying about people being able to protest safely."

"Obviously all of us are concerned not just about that this process be fair, but what does this next six months look like?" she said.

Why do I smell a railroad here?

Senator, for a former prosecutor you should know justice is a slow and deliberative process, the accused (in this case the officer) has the right to, among other things, the presumption of innocence. Now he has used deadly force and there is a process to evaluate it. The incident is investigated and the facts are presented to a grand jury for initial evaluation. They will decide to charge him or not. Assuming he is charged then he has the right to a public trial, the ability to cross examine witnesses, etc.

But the mob Officer Wilson used to protect have made up their mind, so have the idiot Attorney General, Senator McCaskill and the semi-retired President B Hussein Obama. Last week I got into a heated Facebook discussion with a family member who had already convicted the man, especially with "...all the witnesses out there..." My answer was "Let the process play out, in 16 years on the street one thing I know is a witness, upon being under oath, 'revises' their statement when they realize lying now is a felony." And we are still seeing the template of the officer "shooting the gentle giant Mike Brown on the street" crumble in front of us.

So I will do what I can to help a man and fellow officer. I went to the Go Fund Me site and gave $25.00. He will need legal defense and his family will be staying away from their home for a while. If you can please do, whatever you can spare.
