Michael Brown Allegedly Attacked Officer Before Fatal Shooting
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | August 18, 2014 | Tony Lee

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Before he was shot and killed, Michael Brown allegedly bum rushed officer Darren Wilson multiple times, punched him in the face, grabbed his gun and caused it to discharge, and even taunted Wilson, saying, "You're not going to shoot me," according to a woman who claims to know Wilson's significant other.

Last week, "Josie" called into KFTK NewsTalk 97.1 and said Wilson allegedly thought Brown was "on something" and felt Brown's actions were "unbelievable." CNN has since reported that her recollection matches what Wilson told police after the incident. "Josie" told host Dana Loesch that Wilson's "significant other told me" the account Sunday night before the riots occurred and claimed they have not been in contact with anyone since last Tuesday morning.

After saying that she was scared but wanted to get Wilson's version of the events out there, "Josie" claimed that Wilson said Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson "were walking in the middle of the street," refusing to get out of the street after Wilson asked them to do so. She said there "was some cussing involved," and Wilson "pulled up ahead of them, and he was watching them." At that point, the caller claimed Wilson got a call about a "strong-arm" robbery, and he looked in their hands and saw the cigars that Brown allegedly stole from a convenience store, according to surveillance video that was released.

"Josie" claimed when Wilson opened the door to get out of the police car, "Michael slammed his door shut." Brown, according to "Josie," then "bum rushes him, punches him in the face." She said at one point Brown "got the gun totally turned against his hip," and "Darren shoves it away and the gun goes off."(continued)

Like the other so-called “witnesses” coming out of the woodwork and the legion of opinion columnists, bloggers, bloviators, talk show hosts, race pimps, government officials, NGOs and so on?

I don’t know what you’re referring to, but to make it clear ...

Hearsay evidence is “an out-of-court statement introduced to prove the truth of the matter asserted therein.” In court hearsay evidence is inadmissible (the “Hearsay Evidence Rule”) unless an exception to the Hearsay Rule applies. — wiki

Now, I grant this isn’t a court trial, but anybody presenting she-said-he-said as evidence is a moron, including the news media. Speculative thinking is another matter and okay when presented as speculative thinking.

This testimony will have to be bracketed until supporting evidence can be assembled. It is no better than the allegations that Brown was shot with has hands up or while fleeing.

“Hearsay, it’s just plain stupid to post hearsay and base an opinion on it”

The media has been doing that from day one. Including that he was shot in the back.

I find it impossible to believe Wilson gunned down the thug just for the hell of it.

Brown provoked the six year veteran. No matter how much the left, blacks and media try to spin it, Brown brought this on himself. Just like Thugvon.

The one report I saw said the found grass in his tox test. Readings for grass come back quick. It can take weeks to get results for other drugs. I strongly suspect PCP or some other drug that turns people super aggressive.

(1) We are not in a court of law.

(2) “Josie’s” statement match the Officer’s report. Even CNN has picked up on that: http://dailycaller.com/2014/08/18/darren-wilsons-version-of-events-audio/?advD=1248,271611

(3) The statements also match the physical evidence (autopsy, Officer’s injuries, etc.)

So while it is hearsay, and therefore not admissible barring an applicable exception, it is worthy of discussion.

1. I already said this isn’t a court of law.

2. If it matches the police report, then isn’t it the police report that’s speaking and not ‘Jolie’?

Is it really newsworthy that somebody read the police report and agrees with it? I mean it’s not like they where James Woods weighing in.

This doesn’t fit the narrative.

Wish it into the cornfield please.

Yea, like if Jolie contended that the current police report is not the original police report would her testimony ever be relevant.

Never taunt an armed man.

Which is why Mordor wants the populace disarmed.

He went to the hospital. They will at least have a record of his injuries and his statement of how they happened.

Remember the video and the guy talking in the background? He said the same thing. And Dorian really isn’t very credible, is he?

Based on Brown's actions in the story as evidenced by the video, I'd say that this is fairly consistent with that behaviour....

I disagree, rabbit. Her “hersay” was just about the same information of what happened as officer Wilson’s.

The way I see it, these people are not able to mentally process actual facts because most were never raised in an environment where facts mattered. It was always easier to appeal to their base instincts like food, sex, dope etc.
it’s like Idiotocracy. It’s quite frightening to deal with them because you can’t predict how they’ll react because it’s not possible to relate the state of mind of an adolescent mind wrapped in the body of an adult. They don’t understand complex ideas beyond pot, drank, weaves and how to make babies.
