Speaking on CNN on 11/25/14, Al Sharpton claims that Ferguson
Prosecutor Bob McCulloch did not properly cross-exam Darren Wilson on
the stand. However, how does he know when a grand jury investigation
is a closed procedure? He also claims that McCulloch put people on the
stand who did not see anything. That is not what McCulloch said in
his statement on 11/14/14. The prosecutor at one time, mentioned that
some bystanders who had claimed to see what happened turned out to not
have seen anything at all. In many cases, they were not even present
the night of the shooting. These "potential" witnesses had to be ruled
out as any use to the case. It was never stated that they were put in
front of the grand jury. McCulloch did mention that witnesses whose
stories were corroborated by the physical evidence were put on the
stand. In other words, only those credible witnesses who were most
likely telling the truth were questioned in front of the grand jury,
according to Bob McCulloch.
Listening to the prosecutors carefully
laid-out investigation the other night and his painstakingly
,methodical explanations, it is clear that this situation was not
taken lightly by his office. There was obvious evidence that Officer
Wilson was not the aggressor in the situation. After all, what would
he have to gain by suddenly pulling over on the street, picking a
fight with some black kid and shooting him dead? Michael Brown was not
shot in the back as some people in the media had claimed. There is
evidence of his DNA and blood inside of the police car, which agrees
with the officer's assertions that Brown was reaching in the car
assaulting the police officer.
Some people do not want to accept the
truth, no matter how clear it is. They just don't care about the actual facts. Emotions rule instead. It is irresponsible for the media, public figures and false witnesses to continuously make reports about particular incidents that never happened just to build a case in order to receive satisfaction and reparations for past offenses, not committed by the accused.
There is also no excuse for the damage being done to businesses and personal property belonging to people who had nothing to do with the case at all. However, there does seem to be a current trend of hatred and resentment toward people who make an effort to be educated, successful and who take responsibility for their own lives. Their lives are better, so it is okay to destroy what they own.
