Someone posted an interesting youtube video on police training and how fast a suspect can over come you. If Michael Brown did rush Wilson, he had precious little time to respond. In the dynamics of that kind of situation, anything can happen, but the bottom line is survival.
Check out:

There are several books about it:
1. To Kill a Mockingbird
2. A Time to Kill
3. The Lords of Discipline
This guy is going to get an anal probe like no other. A million reporters will be hunting down every word he said, every text, every tweet, every post. Interviewing every acquaintance girl friend teacher team mate and God help him his Ex wife....Unless he’s a saint they will make him out to be the biggest racist since Adolph Hitler.
How do we know what's true and what isn't? All we're hearing are accounts from people who take Brown's side and people who take Wilson's side.
Sounds like ol' Nate (and now the rest of the internet) knows more about Wilson's family now than I know about mine......
I don't feel that was necessary and in fact consider it a gross invasion of not only Darren Wilson's privacy but that of all the family members who were scrutinized.
He’s a sergeant? That just upped the ante a bit. He’s a supervisor.
It hurts in unbelievable ways to lose a child, no matter what age. It is also normal for those who are closest to the child to only believe in the goodness that most children possess and not all adults have.
In the case of Michael Brown, everything I have read suggests the opposite reason for his death than the claimed reason. His family and most of the protesters claim it was murder. It was probably unintentional suicide.
There is a correlation between taking cigars from a weaker person and attempting to take a gun from a perceived weaker person. We can’t go into the mind of “Big Mike” but we can read his writing, witness the disregard for authority he demonstrated, and the results.
Some big people take great pride in their ability to brush aside more vulnerable ones.
It seems that he set himself up for his demise by assuming a bully role in dealing with the policeman.
Someone posted this morning that witnesses are now coming forward to corroborate this story. I don’t know if those witnesses are black or white. For the sake of the black community (and what little is left of race relations in the Ferguson community), I hope they are black.
As the truth begins to emerge about this incident and the true character of “the gentle giant”, there must be a surrender to those facts, to that truth. It is one of the things that holds a society together. Barring this, the black community continues to lose credibility, continue to bleed (what little) support they have in the white community, and continue to separate themselves from those who practice decency and respect.
Must be one hell of a slow runner if he fell about 2 or 3 feet in front of facing the officer. Didn’t even have time to turn around.
We still don’t know ANYTHING about Michael Brown. No thorough detail research done on Brown by ‘journalists’ as in this article on Wilson.
Granted, Brown a yute, we won’t know any criminal record. But somehow Michael Brown’s whole life condensed to just the one day Aug 9th.
No MSM reporting, of course.
Fact don’t matter any more. Within 1 millisecond of the fact being revealed that he is “White”, his world changed forever. He will not be able to appear in public for a long time. His life is in danger from savages.
We are well aware that this is the real crime.
It would be nice to see the title as:
Sergeant Darren Wilson
as it probably is in the original news stories. Pretty hard to ignore, eh?
Could we get a thumbnail history of Barri Soetoro
I don’t know anything about police work but there doesn’t seem to be a thing wrong with what the officer did.....in my opinion.
What I want to say is, those “witnesses” who said Brown was shot in the back and was trying to surrender, should be arrested and their testimony discounted.
Yes, very similar except for Wilson having a suspicion that Brown may have perpetrated a strong-arm robbery. The current version is that Wilson did not have that suspicion.
Darn good shooting — 4 warning shots before the self defense shots.
Very very uncool to expose details about Wilson’s family. His privacy can unravel, plus his family can become vulnerable.
“it is very similar to what we are hearing to be true.”
The truth doesn’t matter here to holder, obama or the DOJ. The truth is the MAN was a criminal thug whose juve record will be slammed shut and autopsies will be carried out until holder gets at least one with questionable results.
