Why are they so against prosecuting the relevant white police officers, what going on?

Same happened Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
So wrong, show the breadth of corruption in the US on these matters.

Would they have prosecuted a black police officer in the same situations then? [Post edited 4 Dec 2014 20:46]

You never see white men rioting when the police shoot white men. |  | | |

Thats not the issue though is it, no black officer was involved in these matters. Had the roles been reversed, I'm sure the grand jurys would have prosecute. | | | |

Because our justice system reviews cases and makes these kinds of decisions based on merit, not what a mob demands. |  |

12-13 % of Americans are black, yet 40% of inmates in prison are black. I suppose this is also the result of those nasty white people and nothing to do with a huge crime problem within the black community in the US. [Post edited 4 Dec 2014 20:55]

Are you saying that the jurors in these cases are corrupt, bearing in mind that there are more of them than in the actual trials? |  |

The issue is the spinelessness/dishonesty/take your pick of the prosecutors. |  |

What are the same stats for the uk? |
A quick look at stats from the prison trust reform indicate :- black population of the uk 2.8%, with blacks making up around 11% of the prison population. | |

Right.
So are they manipulating the evidence put before the grand jury in order to ensure the result that they desire?
Genuine question. I have minimal knowledge of the U.S. justice system and what I do have comes mainly from Law and Order. | |

Have a read of this:
Darren Wilson Is Not an Outlier
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2014/12/darren_wilson_n
The key quote is: ". . .any halfway-decent prosecutor can get a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich” if that’s the outcome she wants." | |

So you agree he should have met such a demise for said offence and illegal force? [Post edited 4 Dec 2014 21:26]

This is about poverty. The average white american is 80 times wealthier than the average black american. That is down to historical context and education/opportunities. That should help explain the sad prison stats. The way the american establishment has protected their own is a disgrace. That said i think that the american establishment would have protected a black officer just the same. Mass peaceful protests have delivered step change social changes in the usa and sadly it appears that more change is still needed. No winners in any of this. |  |

Spot on Darran, if he was an innocent and this happened then this would be tragic, regardless of race. The fact is though he was not, he was selling illegal cigarettes. If he was not then the police would not have had to intervened...no restraint then required..illegal or not. Copper should have been done though. |  |
