I'd like to believe that, but it could just as easily not be the case. In fact, statistics suggest that the smart money is on the fact that they did not. Justice in the US is not guaranteed. Justice in the US for black males is particularly scarce. The data bears this out. No doubt, there is the possibility that the grand jury acted in a manner that any one of us might have agreed with had we been part of it; however, IMHO we have little reason to trust that this was indeed the case. I feel badly for the jury and for officer Wilson if this was in fact nothing that we fear it was, but I feel far worse for all those that live with the fact that in most cases, it is exactly what we fear that this was. I have no confidence that the decision was appropriate, because I have little evidence that supports such faith in these matters.
