IIRC, the police chief or some other ranking official drove him to a hospital. Many men have fought off the enemy bravely in war although fatally wounded.

According to the media and libertarians, this can’t be true. All police are evil authoritarians just itching to harass and murder innocent black teens and peaceful protesters.

So we have multiple assault and batteries before the cop fired a shot. Sounds like self defense from this mad giant.

Pray America wakes

these days its best to have no opinion until all the evidence is out due to the lack of info given by and to the media.

Looks like if Brown beat up Wilson, Wilson could shoot him as he fled under Missouri law.

So it wouldn’t matter if Brown had been shot in the back.

Missouri’s fleeing felon rule would seem to clear Wilson as long as Wilson is injured.

As a police officer.....every....EVERY!!! Call I go to...every person I contact...a gun is involved. I bring one with me wherever I go and i am responsible for ensuring I do not killed with it.

Any “unmarked” person i meet can become Armenia I lose a fight.

Looks like the SC restricted that.

“But in 1985, the Supreme Court declared in Tennessee v. Garner that police cannot use deadly force to stop a fleeing felon who is not perceived to be dangerous.”

Still okay to shoot, imo.

You forgot that Brown tried to take the officer’s pistol after slugging him resulting in a round being fired in the vehicle after which Officer Wilson regained control of his weapon.

I had the back of my head split open with a brick and 6 urban youths try to stomp my brains into the pavement. I was able to walk home then to the hospital. Adrenaline is a powerful drug.

“You forgot that Brown tried to take the officer’s pistol after slugging him resulting in a round being fired in the vehicle after which Officer Wilson regained control of his weapon.”

The kicker will be if the forensics on the gun show that Brown had his hands on it.

Blacks seem to think that they somehow are due a “get out of jail free card” every time they break the law, because of “slavery” or some other “social injustice.” And now they have a government that thinks they are right.

Due to the political machinations of the regime and their msm mouthpieces.

Thanks....just visiting because of all that has been going on.

Actually, I am feeling very good, better than I have felt in about 14 years. I quit a couple medications and doubled my diuretics. Within about 4 months, I dropped over 50 ponds. I think most of the weight loss was excess fluid....but some was fat. My new energy is incredible. I have been outside for as much as 12 hours a day, every single day, and I am rearranging our property.

Still have cancer, and a failing heart ( and other stuff -long list ;>) ), but I am pushing everything to the limit and I am enjoying every minute of it. My property is looking beautiful and I am feeling much like my old self.

My bride is healthy and she didn’t need to lose weight, but she has lost 12 ponds by just trying to keep up with me. LOL

My doctors are amazed. My neighbors are impressed and say the place looks like a park again....funny, that was my goal.

LOL— I’d like to say that I feel 19 again, but at 65, I know that isn’t going to happen....well, not physically, but mentally - I refuse to ever grow up.

The world is on fire, but for me, life is good and God is real.

Cheers to you and yours.....

If that is indeed what happened, and it looks to be so, I feel so bad for this man. He’s been beaten down physically and now psychologically with all the public defamation taking place branding HIM the “bad guy” in the incident. He’s had to uproot his family and move out of his home to go in hiding all because he was determined to bring a criminal to justice and subsequently had to defend himself from further harm. What I’ve been wondering though is why has he not defended himself, make some kind of public statement in his own defense?
