Ha! Good one.....!!

[Parley Baer]

“Jim Hoft and Fox News say he did, CNN says he didn’t, and now here’s WaPo saying yep, he did.

Your move, New York Times.”

Now that is funny. I hope there are X-rays of the fracture. I would love to see CNN caught putting out false info once again.

They also agree that Wilson’s gun discharged before he got out, that Brown started running, that Wilson fired at him while Brown’s back was to him, and that Brown finally stopped and turned to face him.

I haven't seen that Wilson fired on Brown while his back was to the officer from any "credible" accounts. Supposedly Brown asked the officer, "What, you gonna shoot me?" (paraphrased) after he turned around. If Wilson had been firing, Brown would have asked why he had been shooting, not whether he was going to shoot him in the future.

Gentle Mike certainly couldn’t have had anything to do with this. His hands were in the air as he walked to church choir practice.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

(article):"If he was acting in his own self-defense, how can Wilson claim self-defense on the shots that ended up killing Brown?"

Convoluted Logic. The author just reinforced the concept that Liberalism is a "Mental Disorder" .

Brown stole , threatened the clerk, started to leave the store, grabbed the employee by the neck , then left the store.
Brown assaulted the police officer preventing him from leaving his vehicle, assaulted the officer in his vehicle, thus injuring the cop, and thus discharging the gun
Then Brown evaded arrest by running away, officer told him and codefendant to "Freeze", Brown stopped , turned around, and then taunted the officer, and then 'bum rushed' him.
While 'bum rushing' the officer (3rd assault on the officer) he was fatally shot, with the last shot being fatal.
Brown assaulted the employee, retruned to reinforce his threats, then left the area. Brown's behavior with the police was a repeat of his previous behavior.
The authors description or the facts and justification defies logic !
You can't fix purposeful stupidity such as the author's explanation, nor the intentional fiction that the author exhibits.

Its illegal to shoot an unarmed suspect while fleeing. (and no, Officer Wilson did not shoot the kid while he was fleeing).

Just because you slug a cop doesn’t mean he can automatically use deadly force.

[bigdaddy45]

Look.... EVERYTHING is bogus right now. These are all rumors. I’ll believe nothing until its official. Sheeeeeeesh.

[bigdaddy45]

This is the part of the story that to me makes the least sense. Lets say you’re running away from someone shooting a gun at you. Who stops and turns around. Nobody would. Of course he wasn’t shot at while he was running away. The whole narrative is preposterous.

[AlaskaErik]

MO sure has some different GJ rules. In Alaska, the defendant is never allowed to present his side of the story before the GJ. That only happens if the GJ votes to indict and the case goes to trial.

[Vermont Lt]

He (Wilson) did not talk to the investigators.

Why?

Because either he is smart or his attorney is smart. Nothing good EVER comes from telling your side to the police. If your lawyer says it’s ok, then do it with them. And NO lawyer will ever tell you it’s a good idea.

[Vermont Lt]

Probably 15+1 unless it was a 45. But then the kid would have gone down a lot faster.

[FreedomStar3028]

I doubt the guy will even be charged.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Al Sharpton

[Balding_Eagle]

I tend to agree with you, but Grand Juries are more political than most want to admit.

[FreedomStar3028]

Meh. If the story of the eye socket fracture is indeed true then, no Grand Jury in the world will charge him.

[octex]

IF he had a clip, it holds 10 bullets. At least mine does. His, may hold more.
***********************
Greta tonight had the black former detective on, who frequently appears on crime related stories.

He was at an indoor shooting range with Griff Jenkins. He showed the same type of semi-auto pistol used by Wilson. He explained that the magazine held 12 and that one would be in the chamber.

[HotHunt]

This is no different from the Trayvon Martin/Zimmerman case here in Florida. The race baiters and race hustlers over shot their mark and pressured the “I-want-my-15-minutes-of-fame” district attorney in Florida to charge Zimmerman too early and with charges that couldn’t be proved, 2nd degree murder. Then when the trial came around and the jury found Zimmerman not guilty, liberal heads on TV exploded and the blacks made some noise for a while. but one hasn’t heard much of that case since. The same will happen here, except I don’t think this experienced Ferguson DA will over charge if Wilson is indicted and I think he will wait until the evidence is sufficient to charge him. The anger and steam will be out of the protestors’ sails by October when the indicted may come, if at all. This one will take some time.

[Califreak]

The story has been changing repeatedly since day one.

[itsahoot]

These are all rumors. I’ll believe nothing until its official.

Official, like the Warren Commission, right?

[Organic Panic]

Let’s just cut to the chase.

Obama, Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, want this cop strung up from a lamp post. Trial doesn’t matter. They want blood.
