Official: Questions remain in Brown death

Blood from Michael Brown that was found on the uniform and in the police car of Officer Darren Wilson appears to back the officer's version of events, but still leaves questions unanswered, law enforcement sources told CNN.

Those sources corroborated to CNN details first reported by The New York Times about the officer's version of events in Wilson's shooting of the unarmed teen on August 9 in Ferguson, Missouri.

Brown's blood was found on Wilson's gun, on the squad car's interior and on the officer's uniform, according to a U.S. law enforcement official and a second source with knowledge of the forensics presented to the grand jury.

The source corroborated what the Times reported.

At least one of the wounds Brown suffered is consistent with a struggle and appeared to be fired at close range, according to a different source with first-hand knowledge of the investigation.

This finding could lend credibility to Wilson's account that he was fearful for his life after a struggle with Brown in the police car.

My only question is why the outspoken members of his family have not been caned and put to hard labor for a sentence of five years for the ugly, false statements they have been making.

We still don’t know about the last few seconds, but so far we have found video telling us that Brown was fresh on his way from a strong armed robbery, and that before he got to a safe haven he attacked a cop that was sitting inside of his own car, an attack that had the cop fighting for his life and getting off two shots, and hitting Brown, before Brown broke off the attack.

This is a heck of a lot of violence that he has been proven to have been engaging in up to the last few seconds of his life.

Good. High time the false image of the Gentle Giant is put to rest. Brown was violent thug and got his comeuppance.

Grand juries there are picked at random every 3 months so when they were chosen, none of this had happened yet.

Given the history of civic responsibility displayed by the locals, I’d say its a good chance the grand jury isn’t made up of ignorant people.

The other criminal walking with Brown is a lying scumbag. His version of the story is ridiculous. Only a brainless moron like Al Sharpton would believe it. I hope they throw his dirty ass in prison where it belongs.

I guess then that the toxicology report did not show PCP or something in Big Mikes blood? at least has not leaked yet.

So if that`s the case I guess he was just naturally aggressive or maybe the weed he smoked?
