Didn’t need a grand jury for this one:
“In the turbulent aftermath of a grand jury’s decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for the August killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., the public has once more cast a jaundiced eye at Bob McCulloch, the controversial St. Louis County prosecutor. … A Washington Post op-ed declared that McCulloch has ‘a long record of protecting police in [cases like Wilson’s], and his decision not to recommend a specific charge to the grand jury essentially guaranteed there would be no indictment.’ But on July 25, 2014, just two weeks before Brown was gunned down, a St. Louis County Police Department press release revealed that McCulloch would be prosecuting another police officer, Dawon Gore, for felony assault — because he struck a man’s hand with his baton. … After being charged, [Gore] was suspended without pay — Darren Wilson enjoyed paid leave — and jailed on a $3,500, cash-only bond.”
