Celebrities took a lot less time expressing their feelings on the Ferguson grand jury’s decision than it took to announce it.
Moments after the long, defensive speech explaining why the grand jury in Darren Wilson’s case has chosen not to indict the officer in Michael Brown’s shooting death, celebs began to have their say. Jesse Williams of “Grey’s Anatomy” was among the first star on social media to speak out on the situation.

ONLY 1 BULLET WOUND WAS SUSTAINED AT CLOSE RANGE. HE WAS UNARMED, 153 FT FROM THE CAR. HOW IS THAT NOT WORTHY OF A PUBLIC SCRUTINY? — jesseWilliams. (@iJesseWilliams) November 25, 2014
There are no variables to “unarmed” at a distance. It doesn’t matter where my hands are if there’s nothing in them & you KNOW I’m unarmed.

Jesse also communicated his feelings on the gross injustice via Instagram in a satirical post. We are accountable for nothing. We will change nothing. We have always done this,” he wrote. “Thank you for contorting yourselves, no matter the decade, in defense of our barbarism. We are disgusting. #Ferguson”
We’ve investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong. Now we return to our regularly scheduled systematic & routine physical, psychological & economic violence against brown people. We are accountable for nothing. We will change nothing. We have always done this. Thank you for contorting yourselves, no matter the decade, in defense of our barbarism. We are disgusting. #Ferguson A photo posted by Jesse Williams (@ijessewilliams) on Nov 11, 2014 at 7:00pm PST

Where Jesse was more outraged by the decision, Taraji P. Henson simply could not be believe that officials believed anything they were saying.
The scary part is he believes what he is saying WOW When he rattled off how many times an UNARMED child was shot DID HE LISTEN 2 HIS WORDS?

Ultimately Taraji was just weary from the weight of the weight of the decision and what that means in terms of closure for Michael’s family and justice for the victim himself.
We need more #compassion for each other!!! I must lay my weary head down! #myheartisbroken #Ferguson #PeaceBeStill #GODBLESSUSALL — Taraji P. Henson (@TherealTaraji) November 25, 2014
