I'm not knocking the message, but seriously, they should have worked with him more to allow him to say that message in a more natural/conversational way

His son is dead, he is waiting to find out the fate of the guy who shot him (which also means having to wait on finding out how that decision will reflect on his son), his dead son is at the center of one of the biggest race-related events in recent history.
I don't think I will knock him for appearing awkward.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Officer Wilson in talks about possibly resigning.
CNN is saying the cop is going to resign today. If IO were betting I'd say this weekend-gives him time to get out of dodge.

My imaginary son would totally riot. In fact, he'd to it to the song "Let's Start a Riot" cause he'd be a trend setter
I keep checking in here wondering when the Grand Jury is gonna come up. Damn. How many days have they been in there? Three or four now? Or am I just super late to that party XD

Well they've decided to hold off on a decision till next week.

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
It is a kind of complicated case. Either way, people are going to be complaining. I wouldn't mind seeing this case tried, just because the long jury process usually takes months for a case like this, and things will have settled down by the time a verdict is found.

Youtube comments are always disgusting.
It's a tough line for the police administration to walk---keeping everyone safe while also allowing freedom of assembly. They really need to get the streets under control though, there has been several near accidents (and obviously some real accidents).

Damned ignorant on the part of the protestors. I wonder if the other driver knew there was an accident or if he was busy checking to see if other people were going to jump out in front of him.
Wanting to get the hell out of there was probably running strongly through the other drivers mind because of all the people appearing on the street. . A seeming mob in an area where there is a real threat of rioting and violence is not an inducement to want to stick around, whatever circumstance led the person to drive through there.

Protesters: Feth the police! We're standing in the streets to protest the fething police!
Accident happens: bam!
Protesters: Oh damn! Hey somebody call the police!
I see no irony in an expectation of the police maintaining order on the road during a traffic accident and not shooting unarmed black youths. YMMV.
I see irony in the fact that the police were not maintaining order by clearing the protestors ignorant arses off the road and preventing the situation that happened. What would the story have been if the motorist or someone else had been seriously injured or killed, or someone in a dire circumstance had been prevented from getting to a hospital?
These people created a lot of variables that put themselves and others at risk, so they have no right to act surprised and angered when something like this happened.
