Charles Barkley Agrees With Darren Wilson Not Being Indicted. Calls Black Ferguson Looters Scumbags

The true story came out from the grand jury testimony,” said Charles Barkley.

The NBA legend addressed the grand jury’s decision not to prosecute Officer Darren Wilson on Philadelphia’s 97.5 radio station last week.

 “We have to be really careful with the cops man, because if it wasn’t for the cops we would be living in the Wild, Wild West in our neighborhoods. …We can’t pick out certain incidentals that don’t go our way and act like the cops are all bad,” he said.

Barkley, who has long been outspoken both on and off the court, suggested that the media should do more to cover the “epidemic” of black-on-black crime, and wondered why protesters and looters want to destroy the city of Ferguson.

“There is no excuse for those people to be out there burning down people’s businesses, burning up police cars,” Barkley said. “That serves no purpose whatsoever.”

No Severance Package For Ferguson Missouri Officer Wilson Per Mayor

In a breaking announcement, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles publicly stated that there will be no severance package of any kind for former veteran police officer Darren

Mayor James Knowles

Wilson.

Wilson resigned his commission as police officer earlier this week after being “no billed” by the grand jury. His official resignation letter is below.

 “I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process.” 

Wilson’s resignation letter seems to have provided little or no relief to the current unrest in Ferguson, as there’s obviously still much more liquor and cell phones still available to steal.

It was after this resignation that Ferguson Mayor James Knowles acted. It’s unclear what a standard Ferguson police officers severance package might be, but since the Ferguson Mayor made it a point to state this publicly, logic would suggest that Wilson would normally be entitled to something.

To date, “I Support Darren Wilson” campaigns have raised over 1 million dollars for the legal fees associated with his upcoming civil suits.

Those fund raising campaigns were initiated through GoFundMe.com by an anonymous user who is allegedly a teenage girl. Those pages have since been removed from their website though, pending any possible “associated legalities.”

Rioters In Ferguson Beat-Up, Car-Jack, Run Over Elderly Man On Oxygen

While covering the riots in Ferguson, Missouri a news crew came upon a chaotic scene.

Police Car Burns In Ferguson

An elderly man dependent on oxygen was reportedly attacked and run over during a car jacking in the parking lot of Faraci Pizza on Florissant in Ferguson Monday evening.

In the video you can hear witnesses tell the news reporter the elderly male was attacked with his oxygen tank, car jacked and then run over with his own car.

One witnesses says the unidentified victim went to his car to get his new oxygen tank when the thugs attacked him.

Medics eventually arrived to the scene and transported the man to the hospital, STLToday.com reports.

His condition is unknown.

Ferguson Missouri: GRAND JURY NO CHARGES TO BE FILED AGAINST OFFICER

A federal grand jury chose not to indict Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting death of Michael Brown.

"The duty of the grand jury is to separate fact from fiction," said St. Louis Country prosecutor Robert P. McCulloch at a press conference. "They determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against officer Wilson."

McCulloch said physical evidence contradicted some eyewitness testimony, which he said was not always consistent.

The 12 jurors heard more than 70 hours of testimony from about 60 witnesses, he said.

The result provides some legal clarity after months of tension.

"Our shared hope and expectation is that regardless of that decision people on all sides show tolerance, mutual respect and restraint," said Missouri Governor Jay Nixon at a Monday night press conference.

Demonstrators would be allowed to express themselves, said St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, even if it means inconvenience to the city such as slowed traffic.

"But turning violent and damaging property will not be tolerated," Slay said.
