While prosecutor Robert McCulloch gave a rather extensive review earlier of the evidence that led a grand jury not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, it seems a few of the finer points of the investigation slipped past those who believed Wilson should be charged.
Harold Itzkowitz of The National Memo, for example, has taken away from McCulloch’s presentation that Michael Brown was sentenced to death for “stealing Cigarillos and jaywalking.”
@HaroldItz you left out strong armed robbery and assaulting an officer.

@HaroldItz No but attacking a police office my result in an escalation of force under US law. Unarmed doe not equal 'no threat".

@HaroldItz @jtLOL ummm no. Attacking a police officer after strong-arm robbery and walking in the middle of the street could though.

@HaroldItz @jtLOL how stupid is that statement? Assaulting a police officer can get you killed. Kids know that.

@HaroldItz @jtLOL No,but assaulting a cop is a good way to get yourself killed.

.@HaroldItz @jtLOL not at all. I'm sure lots have done it. Attacking an armed man, especially a cop.. Well, that's another story/

@HaroldItz No, but punching a cop and turning around and charging him does and should

@HaroldItz Sure, whatever you say. @jtLOL

@HaroldItz @jtLOL yes stealing does, when your resist arrest.

@HaroldItz Are you that stupid or that brazen a liar? @jtLOL

@HaroldItz No. Attacking an officer, giving him a skull fracture, trying to get his weapon and then charging him again does @gruvesnark

Too soon for stupidist tweet of the night? "@HaroldItz: So, stealing Cigarillos and jaywalking brings the death penalty" #Ferguson

@HaroldItz @ParisParamus perhaps you should stop being so disingenuous and read all of the evidence presented

@IcebergFive I haven't seen the evidence and neither have you. All you have is your racism
