I trust the Justice Department more than that racist prosecutor and those racist, white jurors from St. Louis. The Grand Jury is bullshit. It's too secretive and nothing is going to get done. They need to pass new laws to change the way cops are prosecuted, and that can only happen at the state level. Cops shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt when they shoot someone.
Also, the whole "judged by a jury of your peers" process needs to change. If you're black, and you're judged by white people, then that is not a "jury of your peers." You can't trust white people with these things.
Those are both excellent points! Especially the fact about being judged by your peers. Especially in a situation like that in Ferguson. A jury of racist white men prosecuting a black man is absolutely ridiculous. I still remember reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" and reading about this kind of situation. It's a travesty. I thought America had gone farther then this. (proud to be a Canadian, though that doesn't have much to do with anything)
