He wasted no time in peddling Ferguson…
Via Daily Caller:
The new head of the Congressional Black Caucus issued a thinly-veiled threat that mob violence will break out if a St. Louis County grand jury fails to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
“I would certainly hope that the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri will find that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a crime probably was committed, to lay out that crime, and to let a jury of 12 in Missouri decide the guilt or innocence of the police officer,” North Carolina Rep. G.K. Butterfield told WUNC on Wednesday.
Butterfield was elected on Wednesday to lead the 45-member caucus. The St. Louis County grand jury has convened regularly since August, and is expected to meet for the last time on Friday. A decision on whether or not to charge Wilson with a crime could be announced the same day.
