White House: Criminal Case Against Darren Wilson Closed For Good.

In response to a petition, the administration repeated the Justice Department's conclusion that there were no grounds for an indictment.

WASHINGTON -- The White House finally responded to a petition created in November calling on President Barack Obama to pursue federal charges against former Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson for the August 2014 death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.

On Tuesday, the administration reiterated the Justice Department’s conclusion that there were no grounds to indict, and added that they have no say in the matter.

“The Department of Justice investigated the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson, and on March 4, 2015, Attorney General Holder announced that ‘Michael Brown's death, though a tragedy, did not involve prosecutable conduct on the part of Officer Wilson,’” the response reads.

The petition followed a St. Louis County grand jury’s decision to not indict Wilson in November.

“Bring justice to Michael Brown and the hundreds of other black boys killed for the color of their skin by federally charging & fully prosecuting Darren Wilson,” the petition states. “The grand jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson because of 'conflicting evidence,' which is why a trial is necessary to guarantee the legitimacy of our justice system. Darren Wilson must held accountable for the murder that he committed.”

Brown’s family tried to get recourse by filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson in April. The case moved from a St. Louis County Circuit Court to a federal court earlier this month, and four counts have already been dismissed. U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber also said the remaining two counts could be dropped later since it may not be possible for parents to make such claims for an adult child.

Hopefully by next week... we won't hear anymore of this... all over the news media.

Wait...


Until another criminal dies, because he is a criminal, making notoriously bad, but conscious choices... & his family wants (a long) 15 minutes of fame & big bucks.

so be it,, we are seeing a surge in cams and recordings though,,,

the silver lining that may bring about some change,,,no more untested statements,, from cops or crooks,,,

and an end to some believing something before the truth proves them wrong.

nah


this was not about 'truth', this was about legal requirements for pressing charges..

and


people will always believe something when presented with a series of events,, its natural for the mind to fill in the blanks

sometimes they end up being right and sometimes they dont

There were so many "untruths" though. Those caused the looting, death and destruction of a town. Now what is left? Was anything learned? I don't think so. See Baltimore.

Thug lives matter.

and boy' your mind did fill in the blanks



Thug? I read that he was a "gentle Giant".

With the recent wave of blacks killing cops, sandwich shop workers, shooting recklessly into crowds or killing themselves in black on black drug related shootings, I wonder if Al Sharpton's " action team" closes the window shades and just waits it out?

Maybe they now realize we don't have a police problem, we have a crime problem....Nah.

Id say there was one very important thing learned VIDEOTAPE, VIDEOTAPE, VIDEOTAPE

not really

I understood the facts

the deceased stole cigarettes, pushed a clerk

the deceased struggled with the armed officer and then ran

deceased ended up shot dead


,,,,,nothing to fill in, an UNARMED person was shot dead,,,after RUNNING from police

we have a system of trial by jury here, so I really dont care if he was jack the ripper, if he was unarmed, killing him was wrong and unjust

despite of it being deemed legal

al sharptons action network regularly addresses these things, dont rely on getting all your information from biased news and public opinion threads,,,

meanwhile, in NYC, 25 blacks were killed by other blacks last weekend...

and?

its Al Sharpton, not Jesus,, he isnt going to wave a wand and STOP Murders from happening

Fine...


Giant thug lives matter.

A thief who assaulted a store clerk, then ran like a sissy from the cops.

Yeah, that fits the definition of a thug.

Most jurisdictions, including the one you live in, allow cops to shoot fleeing criminals.

HAND UP, DON'T POOT.....



.....when you commit a felony, refuse an officer's orders, attack him and reach for his weapon, run off and then decide to come back, lower your head and charge him.

Play stupid azz games, win stupid azz prizes. Good riddance.

you don't care, i certainly don't... maybe we should give out more guns...

Yeah, that's the ticket!
