It does not tell us:
WTF actually happened "in the car," or for that matter exactly WTF happened anywhere else before the shooting.
You call Michael a "suspect." What was he suspected of?
Was young Michael in the car at any point?
How did he get in the car?
Was a shot fired in the car?
Who fired the shot in the car?
Who had the gun?
If Michael took the cop's gun, how did the cop get it back?
Cop treated at hospital for facial injuries? What were they? Any pictures?
First story was that a shoplifting complaint had been made. Is that part true?
Look, All we have so far is a live cop, 8 pieces of brass, a dead kid 30+ feet away from the cop, face down in the street. Not a hell of a lot else to go on except scenes of angry and destructive natives.
Meantime, over 2500 black people were shot in Chicago last year. This, of course, interests no one.
O BTW, the cops mishandled the aftermath completely. But we still don't know exactly what happened beforehand.
What we do know is that cops everywhere have become incredibly skilled liars.
Yet in the beginning of the video, there is no police vehicle near the body, and the closest one appears to be approximately 50 feet away..
I noted this because this would seem to suggest the fatal wound was not sustained during a struggle inside the police vehicle...But possibly a considerable distance from the police unit.

No one suggested it did. I am referrring to what is on the video.
The scene is revealing as it's the first time I've seen the actual scene with the body still present.
Also, the body appears to be face down, with possibly a fatal head wound. This would suggest the suspect dropped dead where he was shot, or very close to it...
In addition, the legs appear to be towards the police vehicle, with his head away from the vehicle.
Preliminary this would seem to suggest the fatal shot occurred while the suspect was possibly running or moving away from the police vehicle or the officer...
Well said.
You are 100% right. The problem is that the feral urbanites and liberals in the media have managed to change the story from a dead black young man to the fact that they are excusing rioting and looting...all because of what they say is systemic racism in America.
He didn’t take the officer’s gun, he reached for it. I don’t know if it was before or after he punched the officer. I suspect it was before.
