"There's never been an issue about my fairness or my integrity" until now, #BobMcCulloch says. #Ferguson

True!

Wish the interviewer was more focused on what's happening in the grand jury.

 

[Klood-N]

Nasheed suggested today that the decision will be delayed until after the election, per interviewer.
McCulloch counters he thinks she sees gain from saying that, but probably doesn't believe it.

Towards end Mr T, cannot remember his moniker, says it's like the '60s. I wish he protested during the '60s, that was truly a struggle. I have yet to see a baton raised, dogs into crowd, fired on with real bullets, or suspicious death ala lynching.

What I saw last night was severe baiting, at pizza joint and later on streets. For a peaceful protest I see people pushing envelope seemingly hoping for "them" to react. I saw LE state 11pm noise ordinance and drums continued. That's really poor parenting if a kid did that.

Streetfest and farmer's market are postponed. Less attendance at city meeting. A large rally planned 10th-13th. The good people of Ferguson are being repressed by the radical, ACLU, DOJ and LE are ok with it.

Potential targets of a grand jury are often invited to testify, seldom do - McCulloch

 

[Klood-N]

Protestors did tweet the info abt this interview, suggesting people call in, and are tweeting about what McCulloch says.

Could that number be low because they haven't even told people about it?

Could that number be low because they're not even taking phone calls about it?

well, at least in the City, it's been an annual event > 10 yrs & now there's another one but for FREE Woot Woot (how are these administrative costs being paid?)

note all the other municipalities participating in this program; yeah, Ferguson is one of them . . .

I could not even begin to wonder why more people do not participate. #1 is laziness IMHO; I'm tired of ignorance being a reason for the cause of stuff

Actually, I received a postcard from my MO district rep reminding me of the program this August

Only the 12 people on the GJ will have heard all the evidence.- McCulloch

(He said this in reference to people being set in their opinions like the caller referencing Michael's "murder".)

Grand jurors are chosen by a judge, different each time, out of a pool of 750,000 potentials. The judge looks for a grand jury that reflects all economic demographics and county locations.
