6:46 PM PT (Joan McCarter): The handling of this killing has been a fiasco from the beginning. A travesty. McCulloch's performance here is continuing that. Including waiting until 8:00 p.m., after dark, after a full day of building tension about the decision announcement--all of it is unbelievably incompetent at best, malfeasance at worst.

6:53 PM PT (Joan McCarter): "Is this really justice, or is there something wrong with the laws that allow" a young black man to be gunned down by a cop? Answer: We'll figure that out. Maybe we have to change law.
Yeah. Maybe. A trial probably could have helped there.
6:54 PM PT: In response to a question, McCulloch says a federal investigation is ongoing.
