I have not seen any credible evidence that shows Officer Wilson did anything wrong, but there is plenty evidence to indicate that Brown did.
However, these people continue to demand that Officer Wilson, and of course the state, incur the consequences of another extended trial. Such a trial would most likely result in a similar decision, based upon the facts presented to the Grand Jury. It would not bring Brown back to life. It would not satisfy those who are unhappy now.
A much better course of action, IMO, would be to point out what decisions by the deceased led to the result, and use that to learn from. A few of those decisions would include choosing to walk down the middle of the street, instead of on the sidewalk, where he should have been, thus drawing the officer's attention. Another would be belligerently responding to the officer when he made the second contact. Fighting with the officer in his vehicle is not something that I would recommend being taught to anyone as a good idea. Fleeing the officer after that doesn't seem to me to be a good plan. Ignoring the officer's commands to get on the ground isn't highly recommended either. And finally, approaching the officer, in any manner, after doing the above is almost certainly going to result in undesirable consequences.
Why is all this being ignored, in an attempt to blame the officer?

Do you honestly believe that if this was to go to a trial and Wilson was again found not guilty, that the protestors and racial agitators would admit they were wrong and allow Wilson to go on with his life? These people have far too much invested in their own verdicts to ever admit they were wrong imo. The fact that the supporters refuse to condemn Brown's actions tells me their blindness will not be cured by any verdict.ZHawke wrote:
It isn't being "ignored". Nor is it an attempt to blame the officer. Rather, it is an attempt to make absolutely certain, beyond any shadow of a doubt that justice is done, whether it be to exonerate Officer Wilson or not. I would think Officer Wilson would be all for that.

So I'm assuming the evidence and the witnesses will all be the same right?ZHawke wrote:

We're talking, at this point, about reopening another Grand Jury investigation, not going to trial, necessarily. If Wilson has nothing to hide, I still would think Wilson would be all for putting this to rest. With the new information regarding the alleged bias and other alleged mistakes made by the DA's office, getting things straight and right would be a high priority, IMO. Regardless of whether or not anyone's "blindness" will be cured isn't the issue. Justice is.

Some are talking about having another grand jury investigation because they didn't like the outcome of the first one. By hook or by crook, because they want a trial they will justify any and all means necessary to achieve it. This is what is known as social justice by the left, who wants to make progress towards the mob rule of democracy.ZHawke wrote:

Assume anything you like. At this juncture, we just don't know. If a new Grand Jury is reconvened, it would necessarily be a new independent prosecutor that conducts the investigation. There are some who are saying the first Grand Jury investigation was rigged in Officer Wilson's favor before it even began. If that is the case, then a new, independent prosecutor would be appropriate. That there was even a possibility of the appearance of impropriety by the prosecution in this case should, IMO, have been reason enough to recuse/step aside and let another independent prosecutor take over. That's my opinion.
I don't know if another decision not to charge Officer Wilson would be the final result of another investigation. But, given the societal sentence being placed on him, I would think he would welcome further exoneration from an independent investigation to help him regain his life - that is, if he has nothing to hide.
