Where are we at now? Indictment of some type of crime has a pretty decent chance, but conviction of said crime is slim to none? So we're bracing for impact at the response of those whose minds have already been made up over the guilt or innocence of Wilson?
Yes. The evidence that has been leaked to this point makes indictment seem like a waste of time, but maybe there is more evidence we haven't seen. 
So basically an indictment is just delaying the inevitable reaction. Seems it's time for leaders, both elected and non, to simmer emotions. How to they do it? Beats me. I might suggest getting thorough explanations of the reasoning behind the decisions made, which they'll probably do. That won't help any though, and will probably make things worse.
It's too easy to go from "he's guilty" in someone's mind, to "the system is flawed."
I do think what should have been done immediately after initial incidents, is for community law enforcement, not only in STL County, but across the country, to take an active roll in reducing the adversarial role that police and citizens in these communities have with one another. Ex. more foot patrols, more face-to-face interaction, knowing people's names and faces.
Sure, the war on drugs is another topic in a way, but it is pretty prevalent here imo. Many are going to be disappointed however the case ends up. It's a terrible incident in a completely messed up situation and setting of larger proportions. The silver lining of Brown getting shot by Wilson, whatever the circumstances, should be improved attempts at fostering a better relationship on both sides, and that too should be at a nationwide level.
