If you don't know how to calmly defuse a situation instead of escalating it until some one dies, you shouldn't be a cop. It's just not your thing. Try something else. Soap making or something.
Again read folks.

It's true, multiple witnesses...witnesses like Sandra McElroy
McCulloch admitted that he knowingly let a woman who "clearly wasn't present" at the scene testify before the grand jury, throwing more doubt over a decision already questioned by tens of thousands of protesters nationwide.The witness in question is likely Sandra McElroy, the "Witness 40" who testified she saw Brown charging at Wilson "like a football player, head down" before Wilson shot Brown. A recent investigation by the Smoking Gun revealed that McElroy has untreated bipolar disorder, a history of racist remarks and that she wrote in her journal that she was in Ferguson that day to "stop calling Blacks N****** and Start calling them people." According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, she has admitted to trying to raise funds in Wilson's defense.
But I'm sure with the prosecutor on the side of Wilson there was a fair process to be had.

No, the system favours white people, and people like you that blindly believe in it further the system.

All we know for sure is that the prosecutor was working in favour of Wilson, throwing the case. That the police department leaked evidence in support of Wilson. That racist witnesses who weren't there were used to support Wilson (by the prosecutor no less), that Wilson's testimony is completely unbelievable, and that Wilson chased down an unarmed teenager 50m and killed him. But, to be fair, Michael Brown was walking on the street while black...so some fault on him definitely.

You really ought to stop repeating the fact that Brown was unarmed. I already told you why it doesn't change anything.
Do you think that a testimony from a single unreliable witness throws the whole case out the window?

I will repeat this very important fact even though you wrongly don't view it as such.
The fact that the prosecutor was biased and threw the case does definitely. It was a farce from the beginning, we all know that.
It's disgusting and disrespectful to the unarmed teenager that the police killed and the communities that have to live in fear of the people that are meant to protect them.

Incorrect! You rarely hear black on white violence in the media even though it happens all the time. White people are portrayed as the aggressors in modern society. Black people are always the victims

While I disagree with your point, it doesn't even address mine. White people are favoured by police in random stops, stop and frisk, decreased likelihood of being shot while unarmed, etc. And white people are favoured by the court system, receiving less severe sentences, consuming the same amount of drugs but being convicted for it considerably less, etc.
The stereotype of the scary black criminal is still ubiquitous as well, leading to larger ramifications for all black people.

And I will then be forced to repeat the very important fact that unarmed doesn't mean harmless even though you wrongly don't view it as such.
I'm not sure whether the prosecutor was biased or not. He simply let the witnesses testify even in cases where he questioned the witnesses' credibility. This applies also to witnesses testifying against Wilson. A questionable decision to be sure, but apparently the grand jury had investigative powers of their own and the prosecutor let them figure it out. I guess I just am not that well-versed in the US legal system, but if that's how they do things over there...

He was biased, he did his job terribly. He let liars testify for Wilson. It was a spectacle, not a serious process, no chance of justice there.
