I'm looking out my office window at the Clayton Courthouse, and there are a throng of news folks standing around freezing. Much of the sidewalk has been barricaded off, and there is a giant NBC broadcast truck with its satelite dish all set to go.Fox News is just pulling up. With high winds and falling temps, we'll see how long folks stand around in this mess.
If they get too cold, they may have to start a fire....

But, in some cases, it's better for the officer to have the case go to trial and have that court find him justified in deadly force than it is for Grand Jury to return a no-bill.

The thought crossed my mind more than once... let em go to trial and show the evidence says he is in the right.....

One man should not be martyred to placate "people"
Even if he is sure to be found innocent, its not fair for him to go through the time and expense.
From what I've seen of the limited pics I've looked at of the "Protestors", there are a lot of white hippies/Occupy types amongst them. I think there's a good possibility that they may be in for a rude awakening if the thing goes bad, not from the poleece but from their fellow protestors. Talk about eating your own...
I'm afraid that, even if he is tried in State Court, he will forever be tried in the liberal/black court of public opinion. Ed
WGAF about that?
He will everytime he is recognized in public.

So my sons school just canceled what would have been the first wrestling match of the year in result of the pending announcement. What BS. My son is a freshman and this was to be his first ever match, he is pissed.
It's OK, Pat. The SHTF will still be going on when you get up in the morning.

With a low of 27* tonight, that water should have a full effect too. Peripheral crime will cause the most damage probably. Unless the Panthers got the explosives they were looking for.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
ABC News is now saying that the press conference making the announcement will be at 8:00 PM tonight. LINKEd

That and it would set the wrong precedent.
We have a system of justice with procedures that should not be compromised just because "the people" demand it.
