On Thursday, a grand jury did not indict him. The grand jury heard 13 hours of testimony from eight different witnesses over a three-week period before returning the irresponsible decision.
At 12:30 p.m. on June 15, 2015, Austin Police Officer Bryan Richter pulled over 26-year-old Breaion King for driving 15 mph over the speed limit. According to Richter's dash cam video, the officer immediately ordered King to step back inside her car before informing the teacher that she had been stopped for speeding.
Scheduled to take place on Saturday January 21, the day after Trump's inauguration, the march has been spurred by the president-elect's attitude towards women, including a series of degrading comments made about women in the past, said Bob Bland, one of the New York organizers.
The "Women's March on Washington," has already attracted more than 40,000 people within 24 hours of it being announced, according to the group's Facebook page.

Counter-protesters throw snowballs at police who are keeping them away from a demonstration organised by The Nordic Resistance Movement (Nordiska motstandsrorelsens) in central Stockholm November 12, 2016.
Over 500 people joined the march organized by the Nordic Resistance Movement, a National Socialist organization that exists in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark, according to Sverige Radio. The far-right demonstrators gathered in the central Kungstradgarden park around 11:00 am local time (10:00am GMT), then marched through the city center to Mynttorget Square, opposite the Swedish parliament building.

Protesters hold up signs during a march and rally against the election of Republican Donald Trump as President of the United States in Los Angeles, California, U.S. November 12, 2016.
The country's foreign ministry urged the Turks to avoid the rallies, undertake necessary security measures at home and work, as well as immediately inform the police in the case that they might become victims of racist abuse or an attack.
The special alert applies to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami, Los Angeles, Seattle, Oakland and Portland, where one person was injured in an armed attack on Saturday.
The dogs were not on a leash, however, they all had on shock collars which would not allow them to go past a certain perimeter. The officers somehow managed to miss the 14, yes, 14 highly visible signs on Bailey's property — warning visitors about his dogs.
Police say they were responding to a 911 hang up call in the 10000 block of Thorngrove Pike near Bailey's home. However, Bailey's family did not make the call and police trespassed and killed his dog for no reason.
"They panicked and they know they panicked and they shot an innocent dog and I'm mad," Bailey said.
The Clinton camp was never able to back its claims of Russia meddling in the US election with any actual proof. But the host of the US comedy show "Full Frontal", Samantha Bee, apparently tried to help Hillary and organized an interview, with people that she described as paid Kremlin trolls.
"The Russian government has office buildings full of trolls, disseminating pro-Russian points of view in comment section all over the internet," Bee said in her show.
Decades of fear programming, dumbing down, authoritarian leadership, violence entrainment, divisiveness, crooked economics, moral subterfuge, and physical pollution have changed the social fabric of the nation. The result is escalating madness, tension, chaos, violence, and mindless self-destruction as people unleash their frustration, hate and rage onto their neighbors, burning their own communities to the ground.
How is it that hundreds, thousands, even millions of Americans can be triggered to hit the streets in violent protest over soft social issues, while life and death matters such as war are completely left off the register, going entirely unchallenged by the public? How is it that in 2016 the main issues driving people to action are the socially divisive ones pitting Americans against each other along race, gender and political beliefs? Why are we so willing to hurt each other, yet so unwilling to confront the machine?
Comment: Do consider that all of the current unrest may not be spontaneous and organic as it seems. Reports are coming in that the protests have an element of planning to them. Taking out ads for activists and bussing in protesters is hardly the stuff of a grassroots movement.
Anti-Trump Chaos Is Exploding Across America
Questions crowded in: "How could this happen?" "Whose fault was it?" "Where do we go from there?" In my emotionally distraught state, no answers surfaced, just more questions and deeper unease.
At some point, it occurred to me that, for all my agitation, I had no name for what I was feeling. I long ago learned that identifying a feeling is the first step to coming to grips with it. Of course, I knew that my intense suffering was a reaction to Trump's unexpected and appalling victory. But what exactly was that reaction? Anger, disappointment, betrayal, despair? None of these labels seemed to get at the profoundly wounding nature of my distress. Quite suddenly, in the way the mind works sometimes, I had the word I was looking for — "desolation."
Comment: If only more people would take this approach. You can't heal what you don't understand. The fact is, many people are feeling desolate after the election, just as many were feeling so before it - some for the past 15 years, some for longer. Many are worried that Trump will take the U.S. down the road to totalitarianism. What they don't realize is that, even if this were the case (and there's no guarantee at this point that it is, but the fear is at least understandable), the causes and processes leading up to it have been long in the making, and it is a bipartisan problem.
If a totalitarian system comes to the United States, the American people will have been 30 years too late in stopping it, because all the factors that contribute to the rise of a pathocracy are already here: the social injustice, the economic disparity, a privileged elite class who rules unelected, mass surveillance, militarized police, the embrace of terrorism as a geopolitical tool, predatory foreign policy, arbitrary detention, censored media, secret prisons, COINTELPRO, etc.
So if this election has you feeling a sense of desolation, perhaps it is best to ask, "Have I been deceiving myself for the past x number of years?"
This scare tactic and all the other nightmare fantasies about Trump projected into public consciousness by the left were insufficient to persuade enough voters to go for Hillary, and as many suspected would happen, Clinton voters are now doing the precise things they had previously declared to be unacceptable.
Hypocrisy is now as American as apple pie, and no one is really all that surprised that phony idealists are taking to the streets, destroying property, threatening to assassinate the president elect, and organizing to prevent Trump's inauguration. Some are even openly calling for revolution. The deeper irony here, though, is that people from all walks of life should be out protesting the government as well, but for much more significant reasons than to protest the outcome of the election.
The interview with Pope Francis was published on Friday but conducted on November 7, the day before the presidential election in the US, during which Republican nominee Donald Trump, against the public's expectations, secured the necessary electoral votes to become the 45th president of the United States.
When asked by Eugenio Scalfari, the founder of La Repubblica, about his opinion of Trump, the Pope answered:
"I don't make judgments on people and on politicians, I only want to understand what the sufferings are that their way of proceeding causes to the poor and excluded."
