White Judge Gives White Prosecutor 60 Day Extension for Mostly White Grand Jury to Decide Whether there is Probable Cause to Charge White Cop with Murder of Unarmed Black Teen [Michael Brown]

What is White Collective Power? White supremacy is racism. It is the only functioning form of racism there is- as there is no place in the world where non-whites dominate whites or are operationally superior to white people. Understand that racism is not primarily about individual bigotry, minor inconveniences, mean words and disrespect. Rather it is about the superior, dominate position of whites and the institutions that maintain vast unequal power and resources in order to keep Blacks subordinate. [MORE] and [MORE]

From [HERE] A judge has given an extension of 60 days to the grand jury considering whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson, Mo., police officer who killed Michael Brown, 18. The jury must decide by Jan. 7 whether Officer Wilson, who is white, will be criminally charged in the death of Mr. Brown, who was black and unarmed.

Edward Magee, a spokesman for the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney, said Tuesday that the grand jury was still hearing evidence, but “we don’t believe it’s going to take” until January for the jury to decide.

The grand jury’s regular term expired last Wednesday, leaving it with only Mr. Wilson’s case to consider. The jury is hearing evidence in that case “when all 12 of them can get together,” Mr. Magee said.

Robert P. McCulloch, the prosecuting attorney, who has been the county's elected prosecutor for more than two decades, could have filed charges himself but chose to take the case to a grand jury. He also put together the grand jury whcih is mostly white with 9 white people and 3 Blacks. [MORE]

McCulloch's father was a police officer killed in a shootout with a black suspect, and several of his family members are, or were, police officers. His 23-year record on the job reveals scant interest in prosecuting such cases. During his tenure, there have been at least a dozen fatal shootings by police in his jurisdiction (the roughly 90 municipalities in the county other than St. Louis itself), and probably many more than that, but McCulloch’s office has not prosecuted a single police shooting in all those years. At least four times he presented evidence to a grand jury but — wouldn’t you know it? — didn’t get an indictment.

One of the four: A 2000 case in which a grand jury declined to indict two police officers who had shot two unarmed black men 21 times while they sat in their car behind a Jack in the Box fast-food restaurant. It was a botched drug arrest, and one of the two men killed hadn’t even been a suspect. McCulloch at the time said he agreed with the grand jury’s decision, dismissing complaints of the handling of the case by saying the dead men “were bums.” He refused to release surveillance tapes of the shooting. When those tapes were later released as part of a federal probe, it was discovered that, contrary to what police alleged, the car had not moved before the police began shooting. [MORE]
