This just in: Gov Nixon claims there wasn't enough police/national guard presence last night (only 660 police, 700 guard), orders more than 2,200 national guardsmen tonight.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
National Bar Association
November 24, 2014


THE NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION RESPONDS TO THE GRAND JURY’S DECISION NOT TO INDICT POLICE OFFICER DARREN WILSON IN THE SHOOTING DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN

WASHINGTON, DC – The National Bar Association is questioning how the Grand Jury, considering the evidence before them, could reach the conclusion that Darren Wilson should not be indicted and tried for the shooting death of Michael Brown. National Bar Association President Pamela J. Meanes expresses her sincere disappointment with the outcome of the Grand Jury’s decision but has made it abundantly clear that the National Bar Association stands firm and will be calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue federal charges against officer Darren Wilson. “We will not rest until Michael Brown and his family has justice” states Pamela Meanes, President of the National Bar Association.

President Meanes is requesting that the citizens of Ferguson, Missouri not allow this decision to cause an unnecessary uproar in the community that could lead to arrests, injuries or even deaths of innocent people. “I am asking for everyone to remain as calm as possible and to join in solidarity as we continue to support the family of Michael Brown and put our legal plan into full effect” says President Meanes “I feel the magnitude of the grand jury’s ruling as Ferguson, Missouri is only minutes from where I reside”, adds President Meanes.

Over the last couple of months, the National Bar Association has hosted Town Hall meetings informing attendees of their Fourth Amendment (Search & Seizure) constitutional rights, whether it is legal to record police activity, and how citizens should behave/respond if and when they interface with police officers. “The death of Michael Brown was the last straw and the catalyst for addressing issues of inequality and racial bias in policing, the justice system, and violence against members of minority communities,” states Pamela Meanes.

The family of Michael Brown requested that District Attorney McCullough step aside and allow a special prosecutor be assigned to the investigation to give the community confidence that the grand jury would conduct a complete and thorough investigation into the tragic shooting death of 18 year old Michael Brown. The grand jury’s decision confirms the fear that many expressed months ago — that a fair and impartial investigation would not happen.

“The National Bar Association is adamant about our desire for transformative justice. While we are disappointed with the grand jury’s ruling, we are promoting peace on every street corner around the world. The only way to foster systemic change is to organize, educate, and mobilize. We are imploring everyone to fight against the injustice in Ferguson, Missouri and throughout the United States by banding together and working within the confines of the law,” states President Meanes.

Incorrect. They actually actively didn't attempt to retaliate at all during the rioting, if only to gauge the situation and see how far it would escalate. Now that they know whats up, they will come full force.

black cosplayer that got mirked out also ruled a justified shooting. i assume it was justified because cosplaying is for losers and not because cops can just kill black people

What is it, then? I don't like that they worded it in a way "Justice for Brown's family" as if the dude is 100% guilty before trial. I think he should suffer repercussions for fucking sure, but he still has right to a trial, especially if they're appealing to a Grand Jury hearing, but I don't know jack shit about Law.

national bar association is a black group. american bar association is pretty much what everyone thinks when they are reading headlines that say national bar association. it would seem literally no one knows the difference. i wouldn't have had I not read the boiler plate on the statement the national bar released yesterday.

Just looked into it. Was honestly thinking it was a professional association like the AIA is to architects. I stand corrected and disappointed.
