...Ferguson, that is. As far as I am concerned, Michael Brown's civil rights were violated. But, then, who am I with my silly feels and shit?

Same old thing. Say you're investigating, wait until the outcry dies down, release "no charges" in a favorable news cycle. Sad, but that's the way it works. I hope Michael's family didn't get their hopes up.
