The NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION questions grand jury decision, calls on DOJ to act
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 resideâ€, 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.
That's huge news. The National Bar Association!!!

There will be no federal charges Dummy, just like there weren't federal charges against Zimmerman.

4. What is the National Bar Association?
the recognized national organization of Attorneys is the American Bar Association (ABA). I've practiced law for 30 years and never heard of it.
Bad mole job by Stallion.
The National Bar Association (NBA) is the oldest and largest national association of African-American attorneys and judges in the United States.

The part in red is all anyone needs to know about the NBA.
Transformative justice is a general philosophical strategy for responding to conflicts. It takes the principles and practices of restorative justice beyond the criminal justice system. It applies to areas such as environmental law, corporate law, labor-management relations, consumer bankruptcy and debt, and family law. Transformative justice uses a systems approach, seeking to see problems, as not only the beginning of the crime but also the causes of crime, and tries to treat an offense as a transformative relational and educational opportunity for victims, offenders and all other members of the affected community. In theory, a transformative justice model can apply even between peoples with no prior contact.
There you have it - typical liberal claptrap. Transformative justice is the means by which leftists want to 'cure' the world's ills - mainly via redistribution, taxation, and other penalties to thwart perceived 'inequality'.

Just heard it on FOX News that Holder will continue with the DoJ's investigation despite the findings of the grand jury.
Gotta keep scratching 'till it bleeds.

The only point of Holder's investigation was to set up a 'Plan B' in case Wilson was exonerated.

None of these idiots, including the bar association have seen the evidence, why the hell would they stir the pot?

'Plan B' = some vague deprivation of civil rights charge...aka a ham sandwich.

Because, my dear, when one only has a stick to wave around and absolutely no testicular fortitude, the only recourse one would have is to use the stick to 'stir the pot".
Besides, some of her colleagues need additional legal fee income.
