Good article. I would hasten to add that the hard work mentioned in the article is being done every day by the majority of blacks, whites, Latinos, and others who not only treat one another as equals, but also perform small (and large) acts of kindness.

Jeff’s a great writer. He covers a lot of the St. Louis live scene, and I made an exception for this article even though it wasn’t entertainment-centric.

Looks like the season of injustice is well underway. Maybe, just maybe, this can be stopped by federal charges being files against Darren Wilson very quickly and allowing for a trial and the evidence to be presented for the public to see. Transparency is going to be required or things may continue unabated. Your move, Holder/Obama. How long will the season of injustice last?

I would not count on anything from the Justice department.

At this point, I presume Holder is really hoping his successor gets confirmed quickly.

the way the prosecutor framed out his case last night, that there was complete sharing of information between the feds and the locals. I would find it very difficult if they can charge anything at this point.

It will be interesting to see just what exactly the grand jury did and did not see.
