Giuliani slams 'racial arsonists,' calls Ferguson grand jury's decision 'correct

'The racial arsonists, who enjoyed last night — this was their day of glory,' former NYC mayor says.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said the grand jury'sdecision not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, was "correct" and the only one they could have reached in the racially charged case.

"I believe it was a correct verdict," Giuliani said on CNN Tuesday. "In fact, I think it was the only verdict the grand jury could reach."

The longtime mayor and former U.S. attorney argued that there was no evidence of probable cause, and no chance that a prosecutor could secure a conviction in the case.

"As a prosecutor, you couldn't possibly have won that case," Giuliani said. "They would've been destroyed at trial by a halfway competent defense lawyer, because of all the inconsistencies."

He added: "If you can't prove probable cause, how are you going to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt when the witnesses are contradicting themselves?"

Right, Rudy.  If a civil case is pursued of Officer Wilson and the same verdict is reached, will there then be peace?  I don't think so because all of the rioting, looting, and destruction of property is not about Michael Brown; it is about change that the black community certainly needs is voicing and needs to make (supporting and encouraging black leaders to run for office, the black community registering to vote and making an effort to get to the polls, etc.).  No one can do that for them; it is their responsibility.
