Kind of a common name I would think.

Witnesses say that the cop initiated the physical contact by reaching out the window with his left arm and grabbing the kid by the neck.

The kid then tried to get the cop’s hands off of him and back away — hence the tussle at the window.

My scenario has just at much evidence to back it up as yours.

And what evidence would that be???

Post it --

I’d also suspect the autopsy would be crucial. If the cop, only fired one shot while Brown was allegedly attacking him, there should only be one wound with powder residue. If, OTOH, there are several wounds, some from the back and some from the front, then this witness’ story will be corroborated and the cop will be in deep trouble. One thing for sure, it’s not a Martin/Zimmerman case where all the accurate evidence did nothing but exonerate Zimmerman. At best, the whole thing is very problematic for the cop.

Wrestling through the police window?

Here's how the police SUV window came into play, according to an accumulation of 'eyewitness' testimony, whether true or not. Uncle Chip can vouch that I've written about this before on FR.

If true, Michael Brown was never in the police SUV.

When the police officer put his SUV in reverse and drove back at Brown and his friend, he drove up right along their side. I don't know what words were exchanged, but the officer shoved his SUV door open and tried to rapidly exit the SUV.

The SUV door struck Brown and bounced back (perhaps with Brown's assistance, but I'm only speculating), striking the officer.

The officer drew his service weapon with one hand, lunged through the open window, wrapped the other arm around Brown's neck, and pulled him back toward the SUV. During the struggle with Brown outside the police SUV and the officer half-in and half-out, the officer accidentally discharged the firearm.

Is that true? I don't know.

Was this before or after he was fighting with the officer through the cruiser window/door.

It was a fraud, pulled from a blog.

Possibly so, but let’s not just say the cop “is in the wrong.” There’s a lot of evidence yet to come in, but it definitely looks bad for him now.

This man, the 18 year-old was over 6 feet. Unless the man was leaning into the window of the cop car, how does a cop grab a guy by the neck while he’s still in the car? I would think that a cop would be dumber than dumb to instigate or escalate a confrontation while sitting in a seat, relatively trapped in a car. It’s kind of squishy in the front seat. This doesn’t make sense. Nor does opening a door of his car to purposely whack someone with the door. The cop grabbing the neck while in the car only makes sense to me if the 18 year-old was reaching in to punch or get in the face of the cop.

Where he was shot was not that kind of neighborhood.

Most of the blacks in Ferguson moved there from the city to get away from the bad elements in the bad neighborhoods.

Look at the pictures and you can tell that it’s a nice neighborhood.

The bad element in that neighborhood that day was the one wearing a badge —

Some cops are starting to transfer their training on dog handling to peeps.

Is that true? I don't know.

In other words, you're just gossiping.

Will need to wait for all of the facts to come out, assuming they ever do. In the past, I use to reflexively side with the police. These days, not so much.

As I said and you admitted, my scenario has just as much evidence as the one you posited.

You want to hang the cop and whatever scenario allows you to do that is the one you accept.

That fact that Eric Holder has done nothing speaks volumes, because that racist SOB would trump up charges in a heartbeat if he could.

The facts are coming out right now — a little bit everyday.

What’s to wait for — a final report issued by the Police Department as in the Andy Lopez case aka Whitewash in Santa Rosa???
