No surprise at all.

It's so rare that a cop ever faces justice.

The Grand Jury was comprised of nine whites and three blacks. They investigated all the evidence, a lot of which has not been made public yet, interviewed sixty witnesses, and deliberated for 70 hours before they came to their decision to not indict the Ferguson police officer. How much of that evidence were you privy to, and how much time did you spend on that grand jury interviewing witnesses before you came to your conclusion?

I'm surprised by the grand jury decision too. I thought for sure the jurors would have been pressured into offering up this white cop for sacrifice.

If a republican was president the left would be crying out about how slow the response from the federal government is.

Not those elements of the left who understand the basics of federalism.

If every criminal was prosecuted this way, few would ever be charged much less convicted.

Consider:

• During an indictment, the prosecution alone makes it's case. The only standard of proof to make an indictment is if there's any case at all to be considered.
  
• The so-called prosecuting attorney sounded like the defense attorney.
  
• There was a conflict of interest, considering the prosecutor is local and so close to the case. It would have been better to have a federal prosecutor who was less personally biased.
