What has really amazed me is not one black person on any of the channels except Fox has admitted Brown could have avoided being shot by simply not breaking the law in the first place. Not one person feels Brown is at fault in any way. Amazing.

Something I found very interesting last night on AC360, Cooper had Sunny Hostin, Mark Omeara and Jeffrey Toobin all on splitscreen and it was fascinating to watch how the 2 white guys were saying that after looking at all the evidence presented to the grand jury they thought that although the prosecutor would probably been able to get an indictment had he gone the normal route of presenting it to the grand jury he would have definitely lost at trial and Wilson would have been acquitted.
You could see Hostin, the black woman ex-federal prosecutor, was getting angrier and angrier at them for saying that, she was ignoring all the evidence and fixating on tiny inconsistent details like she was a defense attorney defending Michael Brown, you could see that her mind had been made up from the beginning that Wilson was a murderer and that his trial and conviction would have been inevitable with a different prosecutor.
It was a fascinating example of how this story is breaking down along racial lines, if you're black then Brown was an innocent victim of a obviously racist, blood-thirsty white cop and if you're not black then maybe there is some room for doubt.
