If the Prosecution has decided that there was
Probable Cause, why was the case given to a grand jury? I will tell you why.
But first let's define:
Probable Cause
"Apparent
facts discovered through logical inquiry that would lead a reasonably
intelligent and prudent person to believe that an accused person has committed
a crime, thereby warranting his or her prosecution, or that a Cause of Action
has accrued, justifying a civil lawsuit."
Please focus on the word Cause...then think about
the Action that was taken to terminate Michael Brown. Remember, the Action had
a Cause. So, if there was a reasoning (Cause) for the Action taken, why didn't
the Police, Detectives, Investigators, and Prosecution determine/conclude that
there was a Probable Cause. I will tell you why.
When a controversial case is given to a grand jury
it typically means that the Prosecution has 'politically' decided not to get
involved. It is the Prosecution's way of passing the buck. It is the
Prosecution's way also of securing a ruling that will be in favor of the
Prosecution's friends, The Police.
When there is probable cause there is a possibility
that the Prosecution will lose their case. That's the way it should be...a
Possibility should be granted…given a Chance on both sides of the law.
But here is the Reality: when it is all said and
done, it is about appearances, politics and winning & losing.
The justice system of the United States of America
becomes flawed when the very essence of the system is not utilized, a Jury.
A jury should be deciding the fate of the man that
gave birth to the Probable Cause.
Anything else -like this sham for a decision
rendering body- The Grand Jury, is an unjustifiable tool that rarely favors the
victim of the Action taken...especially a young black man who has lived-up to
the depiction of an overweight bully.

*While
we wait on the Grand Jury's decision NOT to indict the Shooter let us be at
peace and later in peaceful protest. Looting, stealing, fighting, disrespecting
the police is NOT the solution when in fact nothing has been done enough
internally to heal the ills of the reasons Michael Brown had prior incidents
with the law...Blacks have not done enough*
