Darren Wilson on why he shot Michael Brown

The officer who fatally gunned down Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., described to the grand jury how the unarmed teen overpowered and taunted him.

“I drew my gun,” Officer Darren Wilson recalled. “I said, ‘Get back or I’m going to shoot you.’ He immediately grabs my gun and says, ‘You are too much of a pu–y to shoot me.”

The officer said he was sitting in his patrol car when he drew his firearm after Brown slugged him twice in the face through an open window. They proceeded to struggle over the weapon and Wilson — who is 6 feet 4 — said he was overmatched.

“When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it, I felt like a 5-year-old holding on to Hulk Hogan,” Wilson said. “That’s just how big he felt and how small I felt.”

I withhold judgment until I see that from a different angle. I cannot believe that a professional would be that ignorant. There must be another ‘o’ lost in a fold.

I stand corrected:

Must have been a "community" business.

Famous last words.

Actually, on the websites and resources that list famous last words, that phrase is going to be there AND be attributed to Michael Brown. Long after the whole incident is forgotten, his last words will be remembered.

Why do I have the feeling that this statement is contrived with coaching from legal counsel.

Why do I feel like those who have been critical of this officer's actions which were totally correct are going to end up having to watch what they say?

Stupid, yes. Fatal, no. His fatal move was running at Wilson and refusing to stop.

Cordially

“The meme is already out: “black lives have no value”

Translation: Black people can loot and murder, but if you protect yourself, you are a racist and subject to destruction of your life for resisting.
