Comedians Tweet About Ferguson Mo
Tonight when the decision came down that the grand jury would not be indicting Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, our Twitter feed blew up with the voices of comedians reacting to the news. The opinions in our feed were overwhelmingly outraged by the decision and in support of Michael Brown’s family. Here are some of those tweets reacting minutes after the verdict.
Speechless.

If a black cop shot the big white guy, he’d be guilty! Without a grand jury. RT @juices_world: @DamonkWayans … http://t.co/kJYNoJPHIX — Damon Wayans (@DamonkWayans) November 25, 2014
Are they still a jury of my peers if I know my peers would never make such a dumb fucking decision? #BlackLivesMatter

At this point it’s clear there are some holes in Lady Justice’s blindfold.
