I read the whole article, and nothing in the article supports the headline. Baden was actually noncommittal about whether there was a struggle, saying that the condition of the police officer would shed light on that. Baden merely said that some abrasions on Brown likely occurred when he fell; he did not say that this proved there was no struggle. The LA Times fans the flames . . .
LA Times is doing search engine manipulation. Just look at the metatags nobody ever sees on the surface.
