Ferguson grand jury makes decision; announcement tonight



A St. Louis County grand jury reached a decision Monday on whether to indict Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson, whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen in August touched off weeks of sometimes violent protests.

Plans were in place for an evening announcement of the long-awaited decision on whether Wilson will face charges in the death of teenager Michael Brown.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and Public Safety Director Dan Isom planned a news at 6:30 p.m. ET on preparations in advance of the grand jury announcement, now expected around 9 p.m. ET, the governor's office said. They will be joined by St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay.

Anthony Gray, a lawyer for the Brown family, said they were informed the announcement by the county prosecutor, Robert McCulloch, was imminent.

The grand jury has been meeting in another St. Louis suburb, Clayton, Mo.

Police have said Brown struggled with Wilson inside his police car, then reached for Wilson's weapon. Brown's family and some witnesses say Wilson killed Brown as he raised his hands in surrender.

The death of Brown, 18, touched off weeks of protests, and the decision by the grand jury on whether to bring charges prompted extraordinary precautions by law enforcement and the community.

Some Ferguson schools were closed, a police command center was in place and barriers had been set up to help control protests in downtown Ferguson, a predominantly black suburb, and near the courthouse in Clayton. McCulloch met with St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar on Monday afternoon.

At the courthouse in Clayton, a St. Louis County police officer said officers carried in two metal benches from outside the building out of concern people might throw them at the building.

Police officials and protest organizers have collaborated on rules of engagement -- that is, rules for conduct when protesters meet police again on the streets. Gov. Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the state's National Guard. The governor was reported en route to the area.

CNN has been hyping this all day with an "announcement any moment" promotion. The streets would be empty if not for all the hype. Get your popcorn and guns ready.

You've got that right.


MSM would be very upset if the people in Ferguson didn't get out there and get themselves hurt.

Since Darren Wilson has not surrendered himself (they know where he is), there is NO indictment.

everyone go back to your homes, if you have them.

Yeah FoxNews too... "you'll know in just a minute"

9:00PM Eastern is when they will say what the Grand Jury decided.. I'm placing bets 10/1 no trial. Only takes 4 individuals to say no and there is no trial.

Wait.

So he wasn't charged already?

No.....please read the fifth amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Oh here:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Live picture from Ferguson - my video doesn't have audio so I'm assuming that there isn't any for everyone else.


Like I wrote before, tragedies like this will happen again and again until people learn to exercise their 2d Amendment rights which are intended to protect everyone against government abuses.

Well the aftermath should be interesting.

Shooting cops doesnt tend to end well. Even when the cops are wrong.
