There is an initial concern among the Brown supporters with the Missouri prosecutor overseeing the investigation as he is deeply associated with the police force. Bob McCulloch’s father, mother, brother, uncle and cousin have all worked for the St. Louis police and his father was killed in the line of duty by a black suspect in 1964.
McCulloch himself wanted to be a police officer but was disqualified after losing one of his legs to cancer.
Despite the fact that McCulloch is a long term prosecutor who has been re-elected every four years overwhelmingly since 1991, he is now a controversial figure. Calls for McCulloch to recues himself from this case likely lead to the convening of a Grand Jury rather than having a criminal complaint filed by the prosecution office.
