DARREN WILSON NOT INDICTED: NYC protesters march to Times Square, block traffic on bridges

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton was splattered with fake blood at a Times Square protest that erupted Monday night following word that a Missouri cop was not charged in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

Bratton was standing in the Crossroads of the World as several hundred demonstrators rallied against the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Mo., when a red liquid splattered over his face and business suit — making him look like a victim of a violent crime.

I note that today's NY Daily News editorial PRAISES the grand jury. The NYDN is a Murdoch rag too.

I'm not saying we are perfect in places like NY and NJ and MA and PA etc. etc. We aren't. Our faces are dirty at times too.

But when it really gets down to right and wrong? We come through.
