Bob McCulloch

 

Bob McCulloch (c. 1952- ), an American lawyer, has been the county prosecutor for St Louis County, Missouri since 1991. St Louis County is a suburban county just west of the city of St Louis.


On August 20th 2014 McCulloch began presenting the Michael Brown shooting case to a grand jury. Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager, was shot dead in Ferguson, Missouri by Darren Wilson, a White police officer.


The grand jury will determine what crime, if any, Wilson should be charged with. It will only hear what McCulloch presents.


McCulloch seems to side with Officer Wilson, the killer:

  1. He had plenty of evidence to charge Wilson without a grand jury, yet did not.
  2. When Wilson’s name was made public, he also made public a video of alleged shoplifting by Brown.
  3. He will allow Wilson to speak before the grand jury. That is rare since prosecutors generally try to make the best case for bringing a charge.

Henry Davis (c. 1957- ), an American welder, was beat up by the police in Ferguson, Missouri in 2009. After that they charged him with “damage of property” for getting blood on their uniforms.

Davis is not from Ferguson. He pulled off the road there in the middle of the night to wait out bad weather. It was raining so hard he could barely see.


The police approached his car. They took his phone from his hand, put on hand cuffs and took him to the police station. They did not say why.


At the station the police found out that he was the wrong Henry Davis – the one they were looking for had a different middle name.

Instead of letting him go, they threw him in jail and beat him up while hand-cuffed. Then they charged him with bleeding on their uniforms:
