Looks like Michael Brown's civil rights were not violated after all. (sm)

Posted: Jan 22, 2015

The grand jury was right for not prosecuting the officer. Even Holder, try as he migh, can find no civil rights violations. Hands in the air didn't happen. Who knew?

An accurate rebuttal to "Hands up! Don't shoot!"

No, not at all. - That is a real lack of insight

into the protests that have developed throughout the nation and the world.

Open your eyes to all of the accelerated police aggression, killing people everywhere. That is what "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" stands for.

Your rebuttal saying, has no meaning whatsoever, except perhaps the recommendation to look like me, be white, dress like I do, act as I think you should, and defer to all authority, economically, politically and legally.

White gang bangers wear low riders, too. - Not a race issue.

Rappers wear low riders as well. It's a stupid style!

Pants up! Don't loot! Very appropriate for the times in any 'hood, white, black, Hispanic, Asian. EVERYONE!

Not appropriate for a post under the Michael - Brown civil rights issue

People want to make fools of themselves otherwise, go ahead, wearing their pants funny or making fun of people being different. Makes no difference.

Good one! Very clever. - nm

This isn't the comedy board, and social issues of this magnitude aren't very funny to me.

Big deal. Not everyone heard it 4 months ago. - sm

I, for one, was extremely turned off by this entire story and will be glad now that it will finally be ended.

Two different issues - sm

The Grand Jury was convened to determine whether a charge was to be made for taking Michael Brown's life.

The civil rights case is whether Wilson's actions were an "intentional deprivation of his civil rights."

Wilson could have been brought on charges of involuntary manslaugher and yet not have violated his civil rights. Just to insert opinion, Wilson should have been charged with manslaughter. There was no reason to kill an unarmed teenager who was no closer to him than he was by the time of the kill shots.

(CNN)—A federal investigation has not found enough evidence to charge Darren Wilson with the federal crime of depriving Michael Brown of his civil rights, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation.

The FBI has completed its investigation into the August shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, and sent the findings to the Justice Department, a law enforcement official and a separate U.S. official said Wednesday.

Justice Department prosecutors will not recommend civil rights charges against Wilson, who killed Brown, because there is not sufficient evidence to support charges, a U.S. official told CNN.

The New York Times first reported the development Wednesday.

A grand jury decided not to indict Wilson on state charges in November.

Legal experts have long noted that a federal civil rights case against Wilson would be more difficult to prove.

"The bar is extraordinarily high," said Joey Jackson, a criminal defense attorney and legal analyst for CNN's sister network HLN. "You have to show an intentional deprivation of a civil right."

well said; I appreciate the insight and intelligence - nm

Saw analysis on CNN after my post, they do it - better

explaining the differences between civil rights and state's charges. There is also a possibility of Michael Brown's family bringing a case against Wilson (I guess sort of like the OJ Simplson thing).

Food for thought: “I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people. For example, I am black. I know that. I also know that while I am black I am a human being. Therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people don’t know that. Every time I tried to go into a public place they stopped me. So some boys had to write a bill to tell that white man, “He’s a human being; don’t stop him." That bill was for the whit ...

people in Libya. Muammar Khadafi's army was on its way across the desert, promising to "exterminate" the people of Benghazi. The trick was to prevent the genocide without ending up "owning" the conflict there. He did such a good job that the "world" never knew we did anything worth noting. (That seems to be his style. We've been attacking Iran for some time, but our soldiers are computer hackers and economists. And? :) http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/10/michael-lewis-pr ...
