Ferguson Witnesss Told Investigators Michael Brown Charged Cop "Like a Football Player. Head Down"

Full Title: "Ferguson Witnesss Told Investigators Michael Brown Charged Cop "Like a Football Player. Head Down"

Included in the grand jury material released tonight after the announcement that no charges would be filed in the Michael Brown killing is a handwritten witness account stating that the teenager charged at Officer Darren Wilson “like a football player. Head down.”

The unidentified witness wrote that the 18-year-old Brown “has his arms out with attitude,” while “The cop just stood there.” The witness added, “Dang if that kid didn’t start running right at the cop like a football player. Head down.”

The witness told of hearing “3 bangs,” but “the big kid wouldn’t stop.”

The witness’s account of the unarmed Brown charging Wilson--even after he had been shot in the hand during a struggle at the cop’s patrol car--supports the officer’s contention that he fired a series of shots as Brown bore down on him.

During his September 16 grand jury testimony, Wilson, 28, recounted how he tussled with Brown when the teenager grabbed for his gun while lunging into the squad car. As they fought over the weapon, Wilson testified, the teenager taunted him, yelling, “You’re too much of a pussy to shoot me.”

Wilson told the grand jury that he felt Brown’s “fingers try to get inside the trigger guard with my finger.” He added, “I distinctly remember envisioning a bullet going into my leg. I thought that was the next step.”

Testifying that he thought Brown (seen at left) would “kill me if he gets ahold of this gun,” Wilson said that he discharged the weapon inside the cruiser. The gunshot, he added, “kind of startled him and me at the same time.” The teenager then “looked up at me and had the most intense aggressive face,” Wilson recalled. “The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, that’s how angry he looked.” Brown, Wilson testified, then raised his arms and punched him in the face.

Wilson also gave grand jurors another vivid description of Brown. Recalling when he first placed his hand on the teenager’s arm--when the 6’ 4”, 292-pound Brown was alongside his patrol car--Wilson testified that, “I felt like a five-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan.” The cop added, “Hulk Hogan, that’s just how big he felt and how small I felt just from grasping his arm.”

Wilson is pictured above in a police evidence photo taken at a hospital hours after the August 9 shooting.

Seems to me, if they were both inside the car when the pistol went off, there wouldn’t have been much opportunity for communication afterward. The noise would have been literally deafening for both of them.

That would explain the gunshot wounds to the head - I think one grazed him and the other had a downward trajectory.

I guess it doesn’t matter to the mob that the witnesses against Brown are all black...

Where is “soon”?

You know, since Brown went “to soon.”

I thought Wilson’s eye socket was fractured? No black eye? No signs of even being hit 8 hours after the incident in the hospital?

I believe it was justified but I do find that picture kind of strange.

Is it not ironic that these people that hate the white rich folk, and the “uncle Toms.” But still try to capitalize(capitalism) on anything they can? Wow. Just wow.

IDK, but it sounds like too many people watch too much Batman, where they always expect the guy to pull out a perfectly execute the use of the perfect piece of equipment at the perfect time. Too good to be true.

Also obviously coached to “hand out turkeys” and say for “the community”, listen how many times they say “community”.

They don’t give a flying manbearpig’s ass about the community. If they did, they would have forced their kid into juvenile hall or military school to learn some respect. Jackasses. But the ones who are coaching these people to say things like these to stir up fake sympathy are the ones that need to be arrested, and imprisoned FOR LIFE.

Or exiled, never to return to the country they hate so much. Maybe when they come begging back with no money, realizing their errors, then MAYBE they can come back. I have a feeling our American ancestors would beat us all, really hard, for ever allowing this country to fall so far. Can you imagine? Their sacrifices went in vain to give us America? I’d be mad as hell.

Key word in this video is “community”, listen to how fake they sound. Listen to how EVERYONE speaking says community.

I’d bet a thousand dollars that Jackson or Sharpton were 50 yards away when this was filmed. Or had left shortly before.

Why if I didn’t know better, I’d say someone is organizing the “community”!

They hate Capitalism because if represents the white man. However, when it comes to pushing drugs or pimping girls on the street corner, they engage in Capitalism. So, this means they hate the white man’s Capitalism which operates in an orderly society that abides by the rule of law.

Ha. I noticed that immediately yesterday. How embarrassing that no one caught it & told him.

That must be a fake note. It’s written in cursive.

“I thought Wilson’s eye socket was fractured? No black eye?”

That story came out early and was discredited soon after.
He had redness & signs of possible bruising on his cheek & back of his head.

That was actually quickly debunked.

I watched FOX this AM and it's not surprising that one of the black talking heads {rod wheeler} that is usually reasonable said that Wilson should have been charged with manslaughter.

Then saying that if he were charged, he would be acquitted. huh?
