Come on.

Evidently when presented with the evidence, the grand jury decided differently. What would you do if this 6'4", 270 lb teen (who had just committed a strong arm robbery) and has wrestled with you for your gun is coming back at you. He was obviously such a "nice, innocent" kid. Why don't we look at the evidence, as the grand jury did, before we make a decision. Officer Wilson now will have to quit his job and move his family to another city. Of course, he deserves it because he's a "white, adult male". So he only got what he already deserved.

That's one of the jobs of the grand jury to make that decision. You don't just drag someone into court without justification. That's a right that we're all supposed although you may think differently.
