"Imagine if the DA acted like he cared."

I am not working on a substantive post about the grand jury's unwillingness to indict Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown. I don't have much wisdom to offer here, just sadness.

But Beth Jusino does, so I thought I'd share it:

I am not a lawyer nor a law enforcement officer. I don't know what the grand jury in ‪#‎Ferguson‬ heard to make them come to their conclusions, and I'm not here to question it. But I do know a thing or two about PR and marketing, and man, that DA did everything he could do tonight to make the situation worse. From delaying his press conference until well past dark, when protests are statistically more likely to become violent, to opening with a 15-minute defensive rant that blamed everyone except the police for the subsequent troubles on the street, to never offering a word of empathy to the community or acknowledging ongoing investigations into subsequent police behavior, to accusing the deceased teenager of a crime that he was never arrested for and that the officer who shot him knew nothing about... it was embarrassingly tone deaf and insensitive.
