Some Truth About Ferguson That Affects Justice

The governor of Missouri  stated he wants the cop prosecuted with vigor. He did not say to do this if the cop was indicted, he just said to do it.

 Brown's friend who was with him admits Brown stole the cigars, the family lawyer admitted it, and the video shows the theft, but most of the rioters still denied it. What would they do if it is objectively shown that the cop was justified in shooting Brown?

The rioters want justice as long as it fits their pre-conceived notion of what should happen to the cop.

If the objective facts prove that Wilson was justified in shooting Brown then the looters, thugs, and rioters, will have a field day-after-day looting, stealing, and rioting.

The Grand Jury investigating the shooting knows this. Can it do a fair job with justice even if it means they conclude the cop was justified in shooting Wilson? Or, will they indict him to prevent rioting and looting even if it concludes the shooting was justified.

The thugs, looters, and rioters want justice. If objective justice proves that the officer was justified in shooting Brown, then will they want mob justice which will not accept anything other than conviction of the policeman regardless of facts?
