He was acting in his official capacity, so he's immune from being sued directly.

They have to sue the county and Wilson, and then the county would have to demonstrate he was operating outside his official duties. Which is pretty much impossible without a conviction, much less an indictment.

If the county can't show he was operating outside his duties, then the county is the one that gets to pay.

I have a story just for you and it's from my go to news site!

Ferguson aftermath: Protests in Toronto, Ottawa spark debate

"The protests in Toronto and Ottawa follow a decision Monday by a grand jury in the U.S. not to indict a white police officer in the shooting death of an unarmed black man, 18-year-old Michael Brown.

A riot followed and thousands of members of the National Guard have been called in to help prevent a second night of violence.

The peaceful protests in Toronto saw hundreds of demonstrators gather outside the U.S. Consulate, shouting "being black is not a crime" and other slogans against police brutality, while others held a candlelight vigil.

"Basically, I don't want to live in a world where some lives matter and some lives don't," said Christina Miniaci."

Minnesotans rally over Ferguson ruling; car hits woman during protest

Updated: 6 a.m. Wednesday | Posted: 6:15 a.m. Tuesday

From Minneapolis high school halls to Duluth City Hall, Minnesotans Tuesday protested a grand jury's decision not to indict a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

The rallies Tuesday were peaceful, although a woman was hurt late this afternoon after apparently being hit by a vehicle that drove into a crowd during protests on Lake Street in Minneapolis.

we are watching everything he has done since. Watching him implode. Letting him know that we know even if he got by with it he never will again.

That is what needs to happen to this killer. He is no more innocent than Z and he will fall from his own actions. Evil tends to trip on its own feet. Hate is self-destructive. Lying has a way of catching up do you. Wilson will get his.

Edited to say so will McCullah.

Very typical of the kind of life I live. As do many others. And it's rarely in the corporate media that thrives on creating anxiety and then making money from commercials that tell you if you buy some product it will relieve anxiety. What a crock. This kind of working together is what enriches people. Spread the word. And the photos!

By the way, I think that reference upthread was a friendly joke. Not sure what it meant though, lol.

Normal, feeling human beings are mortified if they kill someone, even if it is in self defense. A soldier is haunted when he kills someone, even though the target was an enemy soldier trying to do the same to him. It gives many of our troops PTSD. But not this guy. He has a "clear conscience." He just went about his day, planning his wedding during all that paid vacation time he got. He never lost one minute of sleep...I guess he knew McCulloch was taking good care of him.
