I don't have to say it. It's been stated by numerous people all over the internet that most of the time, it wouldn't have even gone to a grand jury.
Switching gears, here's an interesting story:
http://www.cnet.com/news/two-phone-standoff-after-cop-stops-man-for-walking-with-hands-in-pockets/#ftag=YHF65cbda0
A police officer in Pontiac, Michigan was called to investigate a black male walking "with his hands in his pockets". This doesn't relate so much to the Michael Brown case, but maybe more to the Tamir Rice case. In a way, I feel like we're allowing people to cry wolf and then demonizing the police for following up on it (the Rice case is more severe, obviously...but those officers were basically misled about Rice's age and were not told that the gun might be a toy).
It starts to create a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario though. If police don't respond and something happens, you get a "they don't care about us" story. Watching the video of this interaction though...how do people feel about it? To me, I credit both of them for keeping their cool when basically some asshole just wasted both of their time.
Should we hold people responsible for these crazy claims and the media responsible for their "first to report" inaccuracies? It just seems like people fly off the handle way too quickly and things just spiral out of control before anybody can figure out what the hell is going on.
