I give it a 99+% chance that the officer in the Michael Brown killing will face no charges.
They're posturing to prepare for the rioting that is sure to follow. Lots of preparation for battle but no effort to correct the underlying issues.
The governor just spoke about how they're moving law enforcement from across the state to St. Louis. It will likely be intense in the next week when the grand jury reports.
Charges face a high bar that isn't historically met.
