What's interesting is that you ignored the bigger part of the report with the scathing assessment of the racial bias within the police force.

"They didn't say that Wilson did nothing wrong, the report said there wasn't evidence to contradict Wilson's claim he was acting in self defense."
You're splitting hairs, Spence. No evidence that he did anything wrong.
In the aftermath of the shooting, I didn't hear the likes of Sharpton or Rachael Maddow making broad accusations against the department. It was all about this one, specific, limited, incident.
The DOJ started their investigation 2 days after the shooting. With no probable cause, except the cop was white and the dead person was black. That's enough for Sharpton, and apparently, it's enough for our former AG.
Now, you are corrcet that serious change sneed to be made there. And it needs to be done quickly.
But neither the state nor the feds could find fault with what Wilson did. Will that give paus eto those who jumped on the anti-Wilson bandwagon? No, becaus ethey are the same idiots who convicted the Duke lacross eplayers, these people never learn from their mistakes.
"And you wonder why the keg was full of powder"
Who in God's name said I wonder about that? I know excatly why the keg is full of powder. It's full of powder because the folks on your side, instead of telling angry people that their lot in life is mostly of their own making, tell people that their lot in life is because of the white man's racism. It's what these people want to hear (always easier to blame someone else than to take responsibility for yourself), and it helps get liberals elected. Maybe it helps liberals feel good. I often wonder whether these folks actually believe any of that crap, or if they just like to reap the rewards of saying it.
Here's what these people need to hear...if you want to know the problem, look in the mirror. if you want to know the solution, look in the bible.
