Talking the Ferguson “rush to justice” on the officer.
Karl Denninger’s take at market-ticker.org
“That evidence in the form of an autopsy has disabused a number of theories right up front. Let’s get rid of the ones that don’t fit the facts any more.
Michael Brown was shot in the back. No he wasn’t. There were no entrance wounds in his back. The cop might have shot at him while he was running, but if he did he either missed or hit him in his right arm or hand. (More on that in a minute.)
Michael Brown was executed at close range with the cop on top of him. No he wasn’t. There was no powder residue on his body and no stippling noted. This is very good evidence that none of the rounds were fired within 3’; burns themselves typically occur within a foot but some evidence of the powder discharge itself is usually found on the body for a discharge within 3’. This presents a problem for the police narrative, by the way, in that the first round was allegedly fired in the cop car during a claimed struggle for the cop’s weapon. Where is the power burn from the discharge of that round? Incidentally, if there was a round discharged in the car neither Brown or the officer could hear a damn thing, including “I surrender”, for many minutes afterward. You’re free to try discharging a pistol in an enclosed space with no hearing protection if you’d like but I recommend against it (Warning: The damage to your hearing from doing so may be permanent!)
He turned and charged the officer. Maybe. But that doesn’t explain two wounds — the one to his left eye and the one on top of his head. More on that in a minute, and those two wounds are a big problem for our officer.
They should have called an ambulance. Immaterial; he was dead before he hit the ground. It was crass to leave him on the street for four hours but it had no impact on the outcome.”
