Excerpted for brevity and COC: For many in the media, the St. Louis County grand jury's decision was going to confirm the existence of deep American injustice one way or another. If it found there was insufficient evidence for an indictment against Darren Wilson—the white police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, a black teenager, in August in Ferguson, Missouri—it would mean that the American justice system is corrupt, unjust, and rife with racism. If the grand jury decided to move forward with an indictment, it could only mean that American law enforcement is corrupt, unjust, and rife with racism. Even if many of your grievances are legitimate, "justice" doesn't exist to soothe your anger. In the end, there wasn't probable cause to file charges against Wilson. In this case, a number of witnesses paraded out by the media had never actually seen Brown's death and simply repeated what they had heard elsewhere—namely, that Brown was shot in cold blood from afar. Those stories became part of a narrative—repeated even after the report was released—that is almost certainly believed by many of those protesting in Ferguson and elsewhere in the country. Unless all scientific evidence in the case is debunked and unless new evidence emerges, it's fair to say that Brown was an aggressor and, at the very least, put himself in a perilous position. So indicting Wilson to soothe the anger of the community would not be just. It would be the opposite. |

Some racists want to persecute Wilson -- simply because he's white.

Was there even any doubt that this would blow up in the media's faces?

The problem is that your article comes from reason, literally, and those that need to understand this, have none.

But GD told me Reason.com is stupid and wanted to indict Wilson.

Absolutely no reason to return a bill against D. W. His only crime was being a white police officer in a black area.

Are you saying the media getting it wrong about indicting Wilson will blow up in their faces? They will never back down about his "guilt" or ever admit they were wrong. No one will be held accountable. Nothing will happen. |

Which, at the margins, reduces their credibility on these "White racists kill poor black babies" type stories. |

There is a broad trend in the libertarian community to identify with black complaints of police harassment because it fits the libertarian narrative of an oppressive, out of control state. |

Fuck the evidence, let's have a "Feelings-based Outcome."

It's not like they just said, "no charges". They were presented with **5** different charges and couldn't find any evidence to meet the elements of the crime. But that's not what "they" care about.
