Former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman spoke with Fox News host Megyn Kelly about the incident, giving his opinion on the matter, where he stated that he believed the evidence clearly indicates that Brown was the aggressor.
“You can’t predict nor explain what people do on the street, especially in situations like this. Michael Brown from the onset of me reading and catching up on this story, he has appeared to be the aggressor from the very beginning. Whether at the robbery or the contact with the police officer, he appears to be the aggressor.”
“The office didn’t even have a chance to get out of the car before Michael Brown was on him. Now the officer knows he’s confronting a robbery suspect, he doesn’t know if he’s armed, and that suspect is now assaulting a uniformed police officer, so that is a bold act all unto itself. Having the opportunity to flee and yet returns around and charges the officer is fairly consistent with his first act.”

too bad FR has no retract button
I agree.
Me too. There is a lot of emotion on this one. I had not heard about a concussion or eye being blown out. Yesterday Hannity played a witness’ call that the cop was charged by the perp and was shot dead 2 feet form the officer. I was thinking the cop should have blown him away. Now things are changing again.
Mark Fuhrman is a Vietnam vietnam. I’m sure he’s had “thoughts of violence” many times. It’s a testament to him and his intestinal fortitude that he was able to complete 20 years with the LAPD. Fuhrman using the N word in his life is no different than 99% of the rest of Americans in this country. As a matter of fact if I had to put my life on line each and every day with the majority of the bad guys being black I’m sure I would have used to the N word more than Fuhrman ever did. The black-dominated jury was going to acquit Simpson even if a video has surfaced showing Simpson committing the murders. Finally, I think it’s poetic justice that the man the Simpson lawyers tried to ruin has been the most successful in getting on with his life after the verdict. This country needs more men the caliber of US Marine Mark Fuhrman.
Fuhrman undeniably carries a ton of baggage, and that will distract from anything he might say. That might not be a big deal at Fox, but it would be a big deal elsewhere. The message would get lost.
A better choice would be somebody like retired NYPD detective Bo Dietl.
