St. Louis County’s top prosecutor announced during a news conference Thursday that he will not press charges against the former police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell says a five-month new review of the case showed that his office could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that former Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson committed murder or manslaughter under Missouri law. Therefore he is not relitigating the case. "Because of the significance of this case to this community, and because his family asked, I believed it was necessary to conduct a reexamination of this case and come to our own conclusion if Darren Wilson committed a crime under Missouri law when he shot Michael Brown. Our newly formed conviction and incident review unit conducted a five-month review of the evidence, examining thousands of pages of witness statements, forensic reports and other evidence,” said Bell. Nearly six years ago a grand jury declined to indict Wilson. After taking office in January 2019, Bell reopened the case. "My heart breaks” for Michael’s parents, Bell said during a Thursday's news conference. “I know this is not the result they were looking for and that their pain will continue forever.” • #unheardvoicesmag #DarrenWilson #MichaelBrown #Ferguson #FergusonPD #Fergusonpolice #StLouisCounty #WesleyBell #police #policebrutalityawareness #policeshooting #MikeBrown (at St. Louis County, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSJggZFqAL/?igshid=pg47spdlehu5

Violence

(March 11/12, 2015)

When is it time to use violence? When is it the time to die for your mission? When it truly matters? When it makes a difference? When there is no other choice?

Less then a hour ago MJ, Jarris and I were at Ferguson PD. Things were really quiet by the time we got out there. There was probably less then a hundred people out there by the time we got out there and the numbers were dwindling by the second. 

The cops had retreated to one side of the street on the headquarters side and the protesters were on the other. There wasn't really any chanting going on by the time we got there but there were multiple standoffs and nearly protester snatchings between us and the cops. People were just standing around, talking.

Then all the sudden this loud popping noise started. Everyone ducked. I couldn't tell where it was coming from. It sounded like it was coming behind us but it sounded elevated. I thought it was tear gas for a second popping off but no smoke appeared. I turned back around and realized the cops were ducking too and someone started screaming, “Someone’s shot a cop! Someones shot a cop!”

After that everyone just ran. We knew it was bad.

I turned back a few times and saw what I thought to be a body on the protesters side of the street. I didn't know what I was seeing. I kept hearing someone scream “They shoot a cop!” over and over.

Nothing is gonna be the same.

We were warning them that when the summer came they wouldn't be ready for the heat. The heat of us and our numbers.

Now, that heat might be mutual. Because after this night? They're gonna come back hella hard. And honestly that could happen in different ways.

 It could fuck with our DOJ negotiations. They could retaliate with force again. They can't use tear gas again, but the rubber bullets and God knows who else. 

The media is already twisting the story. Twisting this. People are gonna use this against us, against the Movement. As an excuse to not give us what we’re fighting for and take away supporters both possible and existing. 

But use your own head. The media isn't always right. Everything is skewed. So watch out. Because everything is about to change.

So police kill an unarmed black man in NY, and later on two are executed. Everyone knows Ferguson of course; two police officers we're just shot at a protest in front of the department. Cops, if you stop shooting unarmed people, maybe, just fucking maybe, people won't shoot at you.

#FergusonPD directed me to their "media line" only for it to be full and promptly hung up. #Ferguson
