Data is sketchy and incomplete, but police shoot scores of unarmed blacks every year, and rarely face significant consequences, so why shouldn\u2019t Wilson get away with murder? Still, at least giving the appearance of justice for all, and requiring Wilson to stand trial hardly seemed too much to ask\u2014unless, of course, you were St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, who defended Wilson and attacked his accusers, the media and social media in a night-time press conference Monday that seemed perfectly timed and perfectly toned to elicit the most angry, unfocused and uncontrolled response possible.<\/p>\n

As part of his theatre of openness and impartiality, however, McCulloch included a document dump which may have been intended to be overwhelming, and therefore ignored, but which has already proven sufficient to undermine McCulloch\u2019s ludicrous posture of legal rectitude.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
