That must have been the blood-curdling screaming I heard.

Some woman live now saying it is "About to go down." But "reporter" saying he thinks things are cooling down. Woman (oy the language) talking about going to City Hall on Monday.

[I'm sorry...talking about people getting "disrespected," while she's calling people the N word?! I don't get it...just don't get it].

So what the heck is up with DJs lawyer? :scared:

And who was the other guy??? I'm so confused, I thought it was the dad at first?????

I feel bad for whomever has to transcribe that segment :giggle:

I think it is disgusting to have a Sen passing along misleading information this many days after the fact.

From Wiki: "The population of Ferguson grew rapidly during the first six decades of the twentieth century, from 1,015 people in 1900 to 22,149 people in 1960, an average growth rate of 5% per year. Since 1960 the population has remained nearly constant. The racial composition of Ferguson has shifted since 1990, however. In 1990, residents of Ferguson who were identified in the U.S. Census as White comprised 73.8% of the total, while those identified as Black made up 25.1%.[24] (The remainder, 1.1%, identified with other racial categories.) In the 2000 census, 44.7% were White and 52.4% were African American. In the 2010 census, 29.3% were White and 67.4% were African American. "

So why are 9 of the jurors white, given that Ferguson is 64% African American? Doesn't seem to accurately reflect the demographics of the area. That concerns me, especially combined with the type of racism spouted by a recent poster's cop friend. Note: I'm not suggesting that racists are the majority in MO, but race issues do seem to be prevalent there.

I heard an atty on MSNBC saying they used the demographics of the county, not just Ferguson itself.

I wonder if this Grand Jury doesn't produce a true bill will it's racial and gender makeup cause problems in Ferguson? I hope not.

The grand jury consists of six white men, three white women, two black women and one black man. Nine votes are needed to indict.

Are jurors pulled from registered voters only?

I think there will be less of a backlash if there is no indictment, and the evidence is brought forth, like fingerprints on the gun compared to what would happen if it goes to trial and gets a Not Guilty.
