The jury was of
course composed of 12 people; six white men, three white women, two black women and one black man. They met on 25 separate days and heard more than 70 hours of
testimony from about 60 witnesses, including three medical examiners and
other experts on blood, toxicology and firearms. And decided officer Wilson did nothing wrong by killing a black unarmed teen, shot 6 times
After the announcement, protesters flooded the streets burning cars, setting buildings on fire, torching police cars, looting shops, flooding highways and causing massive chaos especially in St. Louis and Oakland, California. See some photos after the cut...

That man never really came out to tell the world what happened that day. Nigeria be freeing a terrorist, US be freeing a teenage killer. This are the ppl we vote into power. Youths you have the power to change this society. When it's time to vote take your voters card go out and vote. Don't stay at home and say who will win will win. This has been for too long. Create small political groups in your neighbourhood, choose your leade, or support a good aspirant, cast your vote and defend it. Don't let your vision, dreams and future be dwindled by cheap false money. A leader that is not capable of changing your society doesn't deserve to lead you. Change must come and the youth involvement in electoral issues has a part in this too.

God help us all

This is really bad. This will give more room for the whites to keep acting 'lawful'. Very sad indeed. Hmm, that police officer had better be transfered cos he will certainly be killed in no distant time. Blacks don't forget such things.
richard.yinka190@gmail.com
hey
Lets look at some critical points of this case:
A white police officer short an 18 years old black boy.
There were testimonies from about 5 witnesses that the shooting is uncalled for because the 18years old boy actually raised his two hands up in total surrender to the law officer.
Jury were set up to determined if the police officer that killed the unarmed boy with nothing less than 6 gun short should be indicted?
There were insinuations that the dreaded KKK cult (a white race cult group) were on the alert to make use of the event that might result from any form of riot in the community to kill as many black people as possible.
The residents of the community where the killing took place were demonstrating peacefully carrying placards that read No justice No peace.
The composition of the jury is made up of 3 blacks and 9 whites.
And now the outcome is that officer Wilson the killer of the 18years unarmed black boy is not indicted so he is free!
The governor of the state and some other officials were warning the people of the community not to dare emback on any form of riot because they are fully ready to crush any uprising that might come up.
IS THERE ANY JUSTICE IN INJUSTICE?
Lets play it back the other way round this way What will happen if;
The policeman is a black man and the 18 years unarmed boy that was killed is a white boy.
What if the composition of the jury remain the same i.e 9 white people and 3 black people?
What do you think will be the outcome of the jury's verdict?
ls better imagined!
Is there any fairness in the judicial system of America?
Somebody should tell me!
Is the evil acts of racisms eradicated or redefined?
But why Blacks are made to be subjects and victims of ridicule, oppression, inhuman treatments, anihilations, prejudice and racisms.
We all have bloods flowing in our veins and nobody is created superior to others by God. We are all equal before God.
This is too sad that this is happening in the present day America 'the acclaimed land of freedom for all'
lt is too unfortunates that the land where the sweat and bloods of many fore fathers of the African American people were sacrificed to build the fortune of American nation is the same land where the bloods of the blacks are being sacrifice in the modern day due to gross injustice.
This is so unfair
torching police cars, looting shops, flooding highways and causing massive chaos especially in
Wtf!see man caught having sex with his dog. – see leaked pic and video!
Will I call this racism or what!! Na wa ooo
Let God be the judge Wat can I say

Violence is never the answer
Dey no sabi anyfn! Na Africans dem dy joke wif* thumbs up*
This is purely injustice and racism.
They needed 9votes not to prosecute and there were ever so conveniently 9 white people.
Everytime there's a black person involved people start getting sentimental.
Linda so the police officer killed Michael Brown 6 times? Please what breed of cat is the Michael Brown dude?
AND Y WONT THE WHITE FEEL THEY ARE BETTER WHEN WHAT THE BLACKS EXHIBIT ARE JUST ACT OF VIOLENCE AND CRIMINALITY. IMAGINE BURNING AND EVEN LOOTING THEIR FELLOW BLACK BROTHERS SHOP ALL IN THE NAME OF PROTEST.
Racism at the highest order....what rubbish
Listen please. Your country is going bankrupt. You spend trillions pouring money into marketers hands in the name of subsidy that never happens. The price of petrol at worst gets to 150 and after six months will drop. Do you buy kerosine for 50naira even though its subsided? Research learn the facts before joining a senseless campaign please.
A friend of mine was in a car where he was in a car of five individuals, he was the only black guy. The police stopped the car and notice that everyone in the car did not have seat belts on, he issued tickets to everybody in the car, the white guys got a ticket for $80 and the black guy got a ticket for $400 dollars..This happened in Toronto, Canada....He took the police officer to court and got the ticket reverted to $60, however the court turned a blind eye to the racist act.
Linda, check thy paragraph two. Did you say officer Brown?
yes,people should rise against injustice no matter who is involved.
This is good, they should have at least killed 2 to 3 white police men. Bastards!
This black people make me sick. Why won't they continue to be treated like goats? Pple forget that two wrongs cannot make a right... U go arnd destroying public infrastructure and looting shops and say that u are protesting? Will this change anything? Will it bring back the dead boy or overturn the current decision made by the judges? Honestly this is sickening!
That's not a fair judgement at all. They should destroy more things
Burn everywhere. And Nigerians sat down @ home after a terrorist was set free yesterday...

i love America, all these for 1 citizen..if na Nigeria Mike Brown would have been a past story
Killed 6 times?
I Love you guys, togetherness with one mind everything is possible. Fuck Racism Fuck white American.
Chai my igbo brothers wey dey Yankee go hammer wella dis december.
Its sad situation, there is no justice in this world
@Zeme, your comment can't be more true! It's a painful acceptance we have to make. No matter how wealthy, influencial or educated a black person is, the whites perception of him/her can't be changed. The best an enlighted White can do is tolerate...that is why I feel sorry for the way and manner most blacks "idolise" them!
BrendaN
I concur
May God help us
May God help us
The end is nigh! All these point to doomsday! Black people should act peaceful, acting out isn't gonna win them any sympathy, anyway that jury doesn't look balanced to me!
Now that's the shiiit am talkn abt, its hyh time we youth stand up and fight for the killings in nigeria, cos the sooo called leaders are not even taking this issue serious rather the next coming election in 2015, (andrewchuks10@gmail.com)
Idiots like you are why naija is still like this, if your forefathers didn't fight for their rights you would have been a slave and you wouldn't even be allowed access to d internet
JUST 2 BLACKS IN A GRAND JURY DAT SHOWS LEVEL OF RACISM EVEN IN THE COURT OF LAW.
Even a child knows that the officer should have been indicted for killing an unarmed teen. Highest racist verdict ever given

May his soul RIP Amen violence is not the way out God will Judge d right way
So enraging. Mike Brown could have been kin to any one of us. Being black was his only crime.
racism is in everyman!! dont we in naija discriminate btw our own ibos yoruba or hausa??? we always make it sound like the white guys are our problem, but honestly we blacks are the problem of ourselves. why would a supposedly peaceful demonstration turn violent and even lead to looting, isnt that a form of criminality. the American system of justice works in a particular pattern(watch d movie law abiding citizen u will knw wat am talking about) and i belive both the white and black americans instituted it so they should deal with it and stop advocating for sympathy from others.
