The reactions by radical Leftist in the media over the grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Wilson is a reminder that those of us looking for reasonableness and perspective on the Left are going to be disappointed. The radical Left doesn’t want justice in this case, they want cosmic revenge. The riots in Ferguson are partially the fault of Left wing media, many of them in the mainstream, who failed to act responsibly when reporting on this event when the shooting first happened months ago. We simply didn’t have enough evidence at that time to believe Officer Wilson had done anything wrong.
And now that the evidence has been released I can see why the grand jury didn’t indict Wilson. The simple truth is the evidence leans in Officer Wilson’s favor. We have reason to believe he was a police officer just doing his job and that Michael Brown's own actions caused his death. That doesn’t mean I know for a fact that Wilson did nothing wrong, but no responsible person (key element) is going to convict Wilson of a crime after looking at the available evidence. There is way way too much doubt. Based on the evidence we have a conviction of Wilson would itself be a crime.
Even more disappointing, we now have the collective farce of face saving journalism going strong as Left leaning media sources, heavily invested in their Officer-Wilson-is-guilty and all-white-cops-are-racists narrative from the start, are now posting as much one-sided statistics and opinions they can. They need to feed the narrative they began that is quickly falling apart…along with their credibility. As much as those on the left complain about Fox News and all the irrational Right wing media, those in the Left leaning media, and many here at the Kos, showed the same exact irrational and prejudicial judgements in their rush to judgement in the Michael Brown shooting.
