Ferguson Verdict Explodes Media's Lying Racial Narrative

On Monday night, the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri freed Officer Darren Wilson from the possibility of indictment over his shooting of 18-year-old black man Michael Brown. The prosecutor before the grand jury, Robert McCulloch, explained why the indictment had been rejected: the evidence, both physical and eyewitness, supported Wilson’s case that he had acted in self-defense.

McCulloch added pointed criticism of the media that drove the case in the first place, ripping the “insatiable appetite” of social media and “non-stop rumors” driven by it. The initial accounts pushed by social media, McCulloch said, were “filled with speculation and little, if any, solid or accurate evidence.” But he saved his harshest criticism for the media machine itself: “The most significant challenge encountered in this investigation has been the 24-hour news cycle and its insatiable appetite for something, for anything, to talk about, followed closely behind with the non-stop rumors on social media.” McCulloch finished by stating that evidence mattered, and that no one’s life should be decided based on “public outcry or for political expediency.”

The lecture was well-deserved.

    All good, law biding, honest and respectable people need to be very proud of these grand jurors.
    It would have been much easier for them to kick the can down the road and return a true bill. But they didn't. They stood up to the terrorists such as Michael Brown and others who are making the conditions unlivable for law biding people in African American communities.

    Mainstream media is now making Brown a martyr for the second time this year.

    Brown's a terrorist-in the same league as Bin Laden. Yes, terrorists like him are responsible for the crime that is making low income neighborhoods into war zones.

    Main Stream Media is totally responsible along with Obama for their support of making it a racial issue to begin with.
    I respect any officer who shoots any hoodlum when he is in fear for his life. If we take away that capability then there is no need to be there. Police aren't respected anymore and fear for their life every time they report to duty.
    No. I am not an officer either.

    no sir, the police dept is responsible for making it a racial issue as they have been doing long before Brown was killed.

    Brown was running away when he was first shot, (besides in the vehicle), so how was the kops life in danger?

    Police are not respected because of all the illegal, immoral and other bad stuff they do. Open your eyes and wake up.
