Ex-Marine Gunner: Ferguson Shot Pattern Vindicates Officer Wilson
The New American ^ | August 20, 2014 | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 08/20/2014 5:28:26 PM PDT by detective

Does the unusual shot pattern in the Michael Brown shooting incident tell the tale of whether or not Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson fired in self-defense? Ex-marine and video blogger Michael Wilson (no relation) certainly thinks so. And he has created a presentation explaining the significance of the pattern and why he thinks the Brown family autopsy ultimately will vindicate Officer Wilson.

Relating his background in marksmanship, Michael Wilson says, “In the Marines I was a corporal; I was a squad leader and the gunner on a 60-millimeter mortar. And in that position I had to qualify with a pistol.” He then points out that whether you’re in the military or on a police force (or anytime anyone is trained in the use of handguns, for that matter) you’re taught to aim for center mass, the torso, as it’s the easiest target to hit and is where most vital organs are located. For this reason, Michael Wilson was immediately struck by the Brown family autopsy report.

A good analysis of what probably happened. The original narratives of the gentle giant walking from his grandmother's house and doing nothing wrong who was shot in the back with hands up is still believed by many.

But as more information becomes available it becomes clearer what really happened.

When will the TRUTH come out? November 7th, 2014, one day after the election. Until then, it’s FORWARD with the false narrative that gets blacks all riled up to vote Democrat!

Officer Wilson was lucky to shoot Brown dead.He’s got a bad eye injury,he’s just been in a fight so his adrenaline is pumping,his heart rate would be way too high.He did well to hit anything under those conditions.

What a mess !
With all the finger pointing away from where it started ...The “Bully Pulpit”

A democrat (in name only) party governor (Mo Governor Jay Nixon) goose steps along with the party’s agenda. Conflict and division designed to perpeptuate racial division to make impeachment an imposibility. Which now demands a hanging of a police officer who defended himself attacked by a huge black thug by calling for, not justice, but “vigorous prosecution”.

That governor over rides local jurisdictions places in command his commander of his state police who decides making peace is done by marching with black terrorists and flashing gang signs.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3194333/posts
Which naturally turns in chaos. Neighborhood businesses destroyed, people shot.

And once again black callers to conservative talk shows
Which have black callers in complete denial never told “You can’t handle the truth...

I’ve not read anything on the calibre of the service weapon issued to the Ferguson police.

I called it ealier:

Hey now.

I’m gonna say if he beat on a cop then the outcome is justified, though sad for his family.

You don’t beat on a cop and not, at a minimum, expect a hickory stick shampoo if not being arrated...

Johnny Law is within his right of self defense to put four rounds in you, as you charge him, like a bull or bear and those rounds failing to stop you, he should put two in yer noggin.”

At the point that he started to fire hi weapon I doubt he was thinking about his job.He was in a fight for his life and I’m glad he won.

That is interesting. I had not thought about it but now that you mention it, I have not heard the first thing about the gun, caliber etc.

My guess would be a Glock in .40 S&W but that is just based on the fact that it is a common combination with PDs.

What ticks me off is people failing to understand the sequence of shots. I think Brown was HIT DURING the struggle for the gun; grazed on the hand. He might not have realized he was hit when he fled, him thinking he was just injured in some other manner. Wilson then tells him to freeze and doesn’t resume shooting until MONSTER BROWN rushes him.

Mark Fuhrman is on FOX with Megan Kelly and he says there were some laceration on Mike Brown’s arm or hand that may have been caused by the slide of the officer’s weapon. Has anyone else heard of this?

Sounds convincing to me and we all know after the video that the “gentle”giant WASN’T.
