A trial could've been adequate, don't know about the usual legal proceedings in the US to really comment on that though.

However, given that the officer's version of events isn't complete bullshit, and looking at the phyisical evidence and witness reports it doesn't seem to be, to me the verdict seems reasonable. Unlike Zimmerman or many other similar cases in the past.

    Yea, but the problems I have are with how it is reported so differently between three media outlets.

    Only Fox News said Brown, "Aggressively looked at him, and dared him to shoot him."

    That's why I want a trial, so we can see what actually happened. Oh well, there is nothing I can do, save for packing up my .45 and driving 17 hours to loot and cap out suckers.

    A trial presumes there's sufficient evidence to hold one. Trials, let alone convicting people, without evidence being something particularly harsh on the black community around St. Louis, the irony is redic.

    A lynch mob of people with Twitter accounts who watch TV does not make a justice system.

    Just because you parade an policeman on TV thru a spectator's trial does not qualify everyone with a TV set as a juror. Holding a trial that does not meet the arraignment standard basically sets all the wrong expectations about how a fair justice system should work.

    a trial presumes that you can try more than once
