The two most tone deaf politicians in America today are very likely Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch. While they're busy having a pissing contest over who controls what in the Grand Jury investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, the most important consideration is being completely ignored: neither the Brown family nor the majority of the citizens of Ferguson have any confidence whatsoever in McCulloch's ability to bring charges (and it doesn't look good) against Officer Darren Wilson for shooting the unarmed Michael Brown to death.
Though it's been oft said that we learn from history that we learn nothing from history, it might behoove both men to take a good look back at the Rodney King Riots. Because if McCulloch's Grand Jury, no matter how aboveboard and well-reasoned it may be, does not come back with criminal charges being filed against Officer Wilson, it could get very ugly, very fast in Ferguson, MO.
