The astonishing thing (or perhaps not these days) about the Ferguson drama is that the position most of my 'liberal' friends who posted about it took was essentially that they wanted a police officer to be charged with wrongdoing, despite the evidence being to the contrary, on the grounds that he's white and therefore must be guilty.
Now that a mixed race grand jury has formed a view, clearly reflecting both the physical evidence and the bulk of the (largely African-American) witness testimony from the more reliable end of the spectrum, the talk is of conspiracy.
In both the initial assumption and the reaction to the verdict, those desperately pushing the race narrative have unwittingly exposed themselves as substantially racist.
While there are many genuine cases of police racism and brutality, this wasn't one of them, and trying to bring down an officer for doing his job in tackling a violent criminal can only possibly be damaging to the cause of justice. It is the left who erroneously stoked the flames of racism and the fear of prejudice which, pre-primed thugs aside, precipitated the riots.
Will they now apologise? Unlikely. Even if they admit this reality, they will probably still, without any sense of irony, blame racism of whites for causing the young man to behave in the way he did. And as for looting McDonald's in response, well... Monsanto, obviously.
