What I don't want to see is an innocent man going through an unjustified trial in order to appease a bunch of people, who don't know what happened, screaming for an indictment regardless of the evidence to support it. Do you believe that there was a conspiracy among them to acquit Wilson? You and I don't know any of the jurors or of any specific reason to believe they would be dishonest. Basically, you want to subject Wilson to a long, stressful trial against his rights as a citizen because you believe, without evidence, that the trial is called for. Give me a break. Where does the problem lie here?
The problem lies in that you think that a young man being shot under suspicious circumstances isn't worthy of a trial because the offender was a cop.
Putting on a police badge doesn't mean that any act you commit isn't a crime. A cop is still a person, subject to the same flaws and poor decision making skills as the rest of us.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
