Dueling narratives

The officer who killed Brown says the teenager rushed at him full speed in the moments before the shooting, according to an account phoned in to a St. Louis radio station and confirmed by a source with detailed knowledge of the investigation.

According to the version on KFTK, phoned in by a woman who identified herself as "Josie," the altercation on August 9 began after Officer Darren Wilson rolled down his window to tell Brown and a friend to stop walking in the street.

When Wilson tried to get out of his cruiser, Brown first tried to push the officer back into the car, then punched him in the face and grabbed for his gun before breaking free after the gun went off once, the caller said.

Wilson pursued Brown and his friend, ordering them to freeze, according to the account. When they turned around, Brown began taunting Wilson, saying he would not arrest them, then ran at the officer at full speed, the caller said.

Wilson then began shooting. The final shot was to Brown's forehead, and the teenager fell two or three feet in front of Wilson, said the caller, who identified herself as the officer's friend.

A source with detailed knowledge of the investigation later told CNN the caller's account is "accurate," in that it matches what Wilson has told investigators.

If the thug had gotten the gun from the officer and killed him, we’d barely have heard about it.

I find it hard to believe that a veteran cop would be dumb enough, even in the heat of the moment, to kill somebody right out in the open with with his hands raised. Cops nowadays know that everything they do can show up on somebody’s smart phone.

Also, the shot pattern clearly shows that the cop was not aiming dead center, as he would have done if he really wanted to kill him. The wound to the top of his head can best be explained by the perp falling forward and receiving the last bullet as he was charging the cop.

When you see the images from Ferguson and the press spin this whole thing is that White has been change to Black and Black has been changed to White by the race hustlers, and you have such one sleaze sitting in the “Black House” pulling the strings in D.C. = District of Columbia!!!

When are Whites going to punch this bubble that ENOUGH is enough???

The officer who killed Brown says the teenager rushed at him full speed in the moments before the shooting...

That's totally consistent with the video. The shop owner confronts the thug - thug pushes shop owner - then rather than just leave, the thug turns around wanting to fight. Hothead, chip on shoulder bully... we've seen his type before...he's NOT a gentle giant, he's a thug.,

“If that’s the case, the grand jury won’t even indict the cop.”

Tell that one to Perry. Grand juries are made up of the same people who do things like riot and attack innocent people when they get mad.
