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.
In other words, you're just gossiping.
Thank you all for your responses. I hadn’t heard these descriptions previously. I hope the actual truth comes out and the cop will either be found innocent or guilty based on the actual truth. I fully support policemen and know that they often have very difficult jobs but there are, unfortunately, a few rogue cops out there. I’m hoping this isn’t one of them, but only time and truth will tell. I also hope all the violence and destruction ceases and no more lives are lost.
