The St. Louis prosecuting attorney (click here) said Thursday that he has investigated accusations that grand jurors have leaked information about their
investigation of Police Darren Wilson and has found no evidence to support these claims.
In a prepared statement, Robert P. McCulloch defended the integrity of this grand jury’s work and said that to suggest otherwise is “wrong, irresponsible and does a great disservice to the public.”...
Everyone knows the Ferguson police department has been using excessive force. The only people that don't believe that are in the police department itself. Michael Brown, Jr. was murdered because of the practice of excessive force by the Ferguson police department. We have witnessed over and over again the extreme use of force with the people of Ferguson. It is known, the country is aware of the injustices and the people of that city are important.
Today is a different day for Ferguson, Missouri. Today the people of Ferguson are no longer beaten into submission and the point where their vote seems useless. Today, the votes by the people of Ferguson are more important than any demonstration can be.
The people have to sort through the candidates and vote. The candidate may not be perfect or what they hope for, but, it will be a candidate that will recognize the change in them and their resolve to govern themselves.
Politics can be a very powerful thing. It can change the entire leadership of a police department when the Mayor and Council are made to answer for their lack of judgement in hiring a police chief or a group of officers or a prosecutor that has been on the job too long with too much baggage to see the forest for the trees.
This is the election of 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. It will be the first step in many to come that will change the face of government in Ferguson. It will be the first time a lower Middle Class town will find the time to cast their votes. It will the first time the 'habit' of voting will begin. It is the promise to themselves and their community to organize and run candidates that understand them and can relate to their problems. This is the election where Michael Brown, Jr. would have been so proud of all those that have call for justice.
This has to be the new beginning of a broader and better slate of candidates. I would ask each voter in Ferguson that might be concerned about voting and the process they will be joining to carry their cell phones on record. Keep the vote in the voting booth private, but, the process should and could be recorded so everything goes well and if it doesn't the truth will be recorded to hear and/or seen.
The country's hearts are with all of those in Ferguson and they don't stand alone in seeking to dissolve the militarized police departments across the USA. It's ridiculous. In the name of Michael Brown, Jr. this year, vote.
