That was the altercation at the car, mentioned here as well.
for later
LOL! I'm stealing that.....
The Black Mob wants revenge for all the misdeeds —real and imagined—they blame whites (really non-blacks) for. This cop should be hung—to appease the mob. He must be given up—The Truth has nothing to do with it. Long ago innocent Blacks were hung out to dry for real and imagined crimes—now the shoe is on the other foot. Not Jusstice—revenge, Not Christian save that the cop will be nailed to the cross for the crimes of others.
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

that was earlier when the cop was still in his car...
” So when did Brown punch Wilson and
break his eye socket? Hard to do from 20
feet away. Just askin’.”
I’m more interested in this unknown and secret witness’ credibility. Why is it that this one should be trusted, but the others ignore.?
Some cop’s cousin?
Don’t blame me for not taking cops at their word. They are the ones that destroyed the value of that word.
Why does what "protesters said happened" matter?
Personally, I'm inclined to believe this account over the "hands in the air" narrative because this lines up with the autopsy report on Brown, and the other accounts do not.
“So when did Brown punch Wilson and break his eye socket? Hard to do from 20 feet away. Just askin’.”
From the areticle: “First, according to the witness, officer Wilson had an altercation with Brown in a police car,”
You are correct about that.
I’ll never understand the illogical side of the argument against the police officer. When an officer tells you to move onto the sidewalk and instead you assault him in return (twice) then any claim of innocence just got thrown in the garbage.
In the Middle East, they are called Palestinians.
The altercation in the car is when the punch could have occurred.
One thing I noticed from the pictures of Saint Blunt’s body was his pants are half way down his butt. He had already attacked an officer Wilson and tried to take his sidearm. St. Blunt runs, then, turns around. Reaches down to pull up his pants. By this time officer Wilson can only conclude he could be reaching in to his waist band to pull out a gun when he tried to pull his pants back up.

Just remember who the coroners work for. Some of them have produced interesting cause of death conclusions. Taken as a whole, this was probably a good shoot. But I don’t trust these ‘investigations’ anymore.
According to the eyewitness reports from the very onset of this story, the initial altercation was while Wilson was still in his patrol car, and Brown reached into the car and grabbed him and viciously punched him several times before beginning to flee. Then, for some reason, Brown stopped fleeing and turned back around and started charging toward the Wilson again after Wilson had exited from the car. Rather than let Brown get close enough to beat him to death or beat him unconscious and take his sidearm and shoot him, Wilson shot Brown.
That was on the report from the autopsy that Brown's family had done.
I really hope they wait until after the election to make a decision on this.
“I’m more interested in this unknown and secret witness’ credibility.”
First off...as to the notion of his being ‘secret’. Why is he a secret? Well it could be because of the legions of rioters who would burn his house down if they knew his identity.
And that also answers the ‘why’ as to how come he waited so long to come forward. For all we know, he may have come forward the very day it happened...but didn’t advertise it to the media.
As to his credibility. First, his story makes sense. The original story we heard that Wilson gunned down a teenager in cold blood, without provocation, in broad daylight, when his hands were up, and his back was turned....well that story really doesn’t make sense. Even if Wilson were some type of predator hunting black teenagers, he wouldn’t practice his hobby in the middle of the day would he? So the ‘makes sense’ test is important, I think...and this witness makes sense.
Sometimes that all you can go on when evaluating the credibility of a witness.
