The howl of the mob: Race-based justice

Pat Buchanan calls clamor to arrest Officer Wilson 'anti-American'

Among the demands of the “protesters” in Ferguson is that the investigation and prosecution of police officer Darren Wilson be taken away from St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch.

McCulloch is biased, it is said. How so? In 1964, his father, a St. Louis police officer, was shot to death by an African-American.

Moreover, McCulloch comes from a family of cops. He wanted to be a police officer himself, but when cancer cost him a leg as a kid, he became a prosecutor.

Yet, in 23 years, McCulloch has convicted many cops of many crimes, and has said that if Gov. Jay Nixon orders him off this case, he will comply. Meanwhile, he is moving ahead with the grand jury.

As for Gov. Nixon, he revealed his closed mind by demanding the “vigorous prosecution” of a cop who has not even been charged and by calling repeatedly for “justice for [Brown's] family” but not Wilson’s.

The Governor is a Democrat that's why he's calling for prosecution of the police officer. When the evidence is in the governor will look real stupid.

MANUFACTURED evidence. That's why it is taking so long for the kops to release information, and when they do, it's incomplete and they lied about Wilson having a broken eye socket. That whole force needs to be fired and start over again.
