floating on FACEBOOk... (this is a copy I did not write this but early reports match up to this)

"Darren is a good man and he shot and killed Michael in self defense. After he told the young adults to get out of the street, they refused and there was a heated verbal exchange, Darren rolled ahead and pulled over and watched the two. He noticed they fit the description of two people involved in a strong armed robbery nearby that had just been called in and also looked like they may have had the stolen merchandise on them. He reversed his vehicle back to where they where to question them. When he tried to get out of his car, Michael slammed the car door back closed with his body. Upon attempting to exit his vehicle, Darren was bum rushed by Michael Brown, shoved back into the front seat of his car, punched in his face a few times and then had to fight Michael over posession of his gun. The gun was literally turned against Darren's body for a moment. During the struggle, his gun went off and then the 280 pound, 6'3" "child" took off with his friend. When the officer got out of his car and drew his gun and yelled freeze you're under arrest, Michael turned, taunting him, yelling from about 35 feet away, "what, you gonna shoot me?" and then abruptly charged the officer again. The officer unloaded on the huge YOUNG adult as he continued storming towards him until finally, he was able to stop him by shooting him in the head right when he was almost to him and his weapon.

Imagine the adrenaline pumping after almost being shot in his police car and then this same large guy is sprinting at you. He thought that Michael must have been on something the way he just kept coming despite being shot many times. Hopefully, toxicology will confirm this suspicion. These are the facts-but if nothing else I beg that you at least consider these as the other side of the story. I've heard several witnesses that must keep quiet in case they are needed in court have confirmed this story and had the SAME version of events. All other "witnesses" stories have all been inconsistent with one another, some claiming he was down on his knees, others that he was running away.

The truth above is the only consistent story there has been because of course, there can be only one version of the truth. I believe in my heart for it to be factually true because I know someone very well who was there. Please spread the truth. I am begging you to at least put this out as a possibility since we have ONLY heard the other's side. It explains all of the questions and it's what I was told on Sunday morning, before everyone was silenced. Please pray for Darren who was only doing his job and trying to stay alive. Or at least, please consider this as a possibility...even just a theory. I'm telling you, eventually it will all come out. This is the truth. Spread it!"

I didn't write that but I will push it forward, it's the only aspect that's made ANY sense and been consistent with every report.

That is the first plausible narrative given, although given a lack of source, means little. It is certainly more plausible than the idea that the officer tried to pull the 300 pound Gentle Giant into the car through his window, or that Gentle Giant was kneeling with his hands in the air, begging for mercy, or that the officer shot Mr. Giant in the back while he fled.

I strongly suspect that the autopsy confirmed this account (and it would, especially if Gentle had closed the distance on the officer). The autopsy would also completely eliminate the testimony of Gentle’s accomplice. And this would explain why Crump realizes he won’t get paid off until he can secure a more favorable autopsy report.

But, at the moment, we know about the same as what we knew at the beginning. Very little. Except that race hustlers have to hustle, looters have to loot, and useful idiots have to be idiotic. And that some people are very desperate for this to be everything that the Trayvon Martin case was thought to be, until it turned out that Martin was a 2-bit punk looking to attack, and potentially kill, someone who did nothing wrong, thus destroying the narrative.

In all likelihood, through his own behavior, Gentle Giant finally succeeded in turning his life around, it’s just that he turned his life from “living” to “deceased”.

Great account, and it makes the most sense to me. If it turns out to be a true account, then I believe it is a justifiable homicide and I would fully support the officer.
