Some grand jury leaks are more equal than others

The Integrity of the Grand Jury Investigation into the Shooting of #MichaelBrown is GONE.
 
The integrity of the Grand Jury investigation into the shooting of #MichaelBrown is GONE. This Grand Jury needs to be dismissed. First we had the news of Darren Wilson testifying before the Grand Jury for 4 hours, then a Twitter user claiming a friend on Grand Jury says there is not enough evidence to indict, now we are hearing 7 or 8 black witnesses gave testimony “consistent” with Darren Wilson’s account but don’t want to be identified. The integrity of the Grand Jury proceedings are gone. The Grand Jury proceedings are suppose to be secret. This is a fraud and credibility has been destroyed. Dismiss this Grand Jury and appoint a special prosecutor to restore the integrity of these proceedings.

But who is leaking this information and why?

Evidence Mounting that Walker Campaign Is at Center of Criminal Probe

 http://www.prwatch.org/news/2014/02/12377/walker-campaign-finance-probe-court-docs-show

Newly-unsealed court documents and media leaks add to a growing body of evidence that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s campaign is at the center of a wide-ranging secret probe blah-blah-blah

Hey, DUmmie, they were identified to the grand jury, but even these black people are smart enough to know that their "brothers" would ostracize them or worse for telling the truth under penalty of perjury.

     Not to mention that grandjuries use unidentified witnesses, like, all the time, to prevent the kind of reprisals the ****ing cocksucking armchair protestor DUmmies want exacted.

     The justice system is working, you lurking imbeciles, just not the way you want it. Deal with it.

Actually it's working the way they want, they just aren't getting the result they thought they would get.  I would love for them to find no case against Wilson and then find out all the members of the grand jury were minorities.

     Your wish will mostly come true. They don't ask leading questions to GJ witnesses - they want facts. Prosecutors don't generally put up with DUmmy tactics like, "what do you need me to say to make him guilty? Because that's what I'll say." Moreover the witnesses will not have had access to the autopsy, so any LYING on their part can be detected by the direction and attitude of the bullet holes. Sorry, DUmmies. You like justice and science? Then you should LOVE what you're getting now.

O'Reilly asked one of those fraudulent preachers if he would accept the results of the grand jury if all the forensics backed up the testimony of Officer Wilson and these eight witnesses.  He responded, "no."  He then said it should go to an actual trial. 

Clueless assholes.

What do we learn from this any other stories like it?
1) Rushing to judgement a mere two minutes after an event makes you look foolish.
2) Raw Emotion does not counter real evidence.
3) When a victim is really a criminal thug, it spoils the whole victimization theme.

I'm sure the leaks are intentional, and approved.

-They are designed to slowly let the rioters down, instead of news they really don't want to hear coming out all at once before any explanation of why the decision was reached.

[Gina]

As much as I hear these people scream "innocent until proven guilty" they have totally done a 180.  Why aren't they fighting for the justice system to work for Wilson?  Why is it when a black man is arrested they automatically say they shouldn't be charged unless there is evidence and not a gut feeling?

4) A dead thug and a live cop is a good result.
