Yes.

again we disagree, the public bureaucrat in me says he was covering himself from all sides. he has to proctect himself from brown's as well as wilson's supporters
No, he doesn't. His only obligation, if he believes that there is evidence that a crime has been committed, is to present said evidence to a grand jury. If political considerations regarding the supporters of the defendant enter into the equation, then he is not doing his job thoroughly and ethically, especially if such considerations cause him to act in a manner that is significantly favorable to the defense. If he can't do that, then he needs to find a different line of work.
