To continue racist implications separate for the legal issues as we seem to be arguing two different things and talking past each other.

They are not separate when the legal system has been set up in such a way that it disadvantages you if you are a certain race.

Since the legal system, statutes and laws, exists on paper you will be able to cite the statute(s) that are unfair. If you can't cite specific examples ... and if you can I'm sure NAACP and ACLU would love to file a SCOTUS case to have it overturned.

Es99 doesn't really care about the Facts, Law, nor Truth.

Es99 is hopeless. As is shown time, and time, and time again.

What they don't, and will never understand: As they raise the decibel level concerning their Agenda - More and more people, are turning away from their ideas [sic] with disgust.

The tide is apparently turning against them.

Now, when they realize this: Watch their decibel level REALLY increase. It will just quicken there Intellectual [sic] Suicide.

Frankly even protesters know they are lying and thus agree with the Grand Jury
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2014/1202/Did-Michael-Brown-really-have-his-hands-up-when-shot-video wrote:
Ultimately, however, for some, it doesn't matter whether Brown's hands were raised or not.

"Even if you don't find that it's true, it's a valid rallying cry," Ferguson protester Taylor Gruenloh told the AP. "It's just a metaphor."

A Seattle protester, Evan Chakroff, said the gesture is symbolic, not literal.

"My sense is that it's totally symbolic and a way of representing powerlessness" in the face of inequality and militarized police, he told the AP.

Others have gone so far as to say that focusing on the exact circumstances of Brown's shooting misses the point of the slogan.

"This is not about one boy getting shot in the street, but about the hundreds just like him who have received the same callous and racially influenced treatment," Oakland, California, protester Gabe Johnson, told the AP. "So ultimately, no, it doesn't matter at all if somehow we can say for sure whether this one young man really said these words or had his hands up."

Essentially they are saying it is just a reason to go have a good loot and riot. As such it likely increases racial divisions and has the opposite effect of what is wanted.

Clyde, you are right about ES not understanding it is individual people not the system that are the issue. If we replaces the people implementing the laws with unthinking robots, then she is saying that there still would be racism. I say, point out where in the law it calls for it. No the issue is the individuals who work in the system. That makes the problem too deep for binary thinking and intractable. Sure doesn't make for a good slogan to chant while you loot and riot.

Now the question is, will posters realize the law isn't the issue and individuals are? One course seems like a kindergarten playground primal scream because things "aren't right", the other an adult way of discourse.

It ddint take very long after the Zimmerman trial that some jury members wished they had not voted the way they did. My question is why they voted the way they did at all. If you beleive a person is quilty or innocent then vote your conviction and tell the damn browbeaters to go to hell. A mistrial.

Did that happen in Ferguson. Dont know, Havent heard a peep out of any of them that were on the grandjury. We dont even now what the vote was.
But all the BHL's say it was rigged.
And to ES, I dont think anyone in this thread has said racism does not exist in the US. I know it does. Ive seen it up close and personnel with my son in law and grandkids.
But for you to label us who have a different opinion on the grandjury verdict as racists is wrong also.
I hate when an innocent person is convicetd of a crime he didnt commit. And there are many. And thats with 12 people deciding there fate.
You seem to belive that social media mob rule is never wrong. I beg to differ its worse.

A lot of you seem to have trouble understanding that this wasn't a criminal trial. It was an investigation as to whether a trial took place.

The fact that so many people are still arguing over what the evidence shows suggests there should have been a trial.

The prosecutor did not do his job and present the evidence to show there was grounds for a prosecution. What he did was extremely rare.

I have a little more time now that I have finished writing my essays on systemic racism for my university course. Perhaps I will get a moment to share some of the articles that explain what it is and how all your comments fit so nicely into it and what they stem from. :)

And here in the US that is why we have grand juries. There whole purpose is to determine if there is enough evidence to have a trial. What do you not understand about that?
Was this grand jury missled? Were some jurists browbeaten or worse threatend to vote the way the DA wanted or there fellow jurist put pressure on them? I havent a clue and neither do you.
Untill some jurists talk, I will go by point of law. Not social media mob rule.

another case.

A New York City grand jury cleared a white police officer Wednesday in the videotaped chokehold death of an unarmed black man who had been stopped on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes, a lawyer for the victim's family said.
