Hospital X-rays of the injury have been taken and will be shared with a grand jury

Sorry no. In most states the DA has no obligation to share defense arguments. I don't believe the Grand Jury will see this.

I understand that its reasonable yo shoot fleeing felon. The assault on officer would allow police to use deadly force. Anyone know if that is true?

I really don’t get the relevance of this. Either the officer got punched or he didn’t. If he did, it’s assault on a peace officer, and I don’t know if that’s a felony but it’s obviously a pretty serious charge/offense. Is the officer supposed to go for a medical evaluation immediately after being punched in the eye and make some kind of judgement call “this is serious” or “this is no big deal, I’ll shake it off” and take appropriate action; either go back from the hospital and attempt to arrest the guy an hour or so later after having carefully weighed his options....or should he ask permission from Jesse Jackson? Alternatively, is it up to us to say “hey, no big deal, where’s the proportionality?” or “I wouldn’t have shot the guy, I can take a punch”, or what? The thrown punch is the offense, end of story.

This is the kind of silly speculation about sub-details of things that we have zero means of knowing about that just occupy spare brain cells and lead nowhere. In my opinion, that is.

He couldn’t have. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

Hopefully you have original receipts.

Just have a letter from my elderly mother stating it was purchased in such and such a place around such and such year. Hope that works.

So where did CNN get their bogus info that the cop didn’t have a busted skull?

We must remember - equal protection under the law, truth, justice, and the rule of law are now just words in much of our nation. We can pretend we are still a Godly nation that follows these precepts, but that is deception. Our enemies don’t believe in them, and they don’t play fair. They lust for blood, and evil sits in the highest seats of power.

If one shot goes off in the car and grazed the victim below the thumb, that’s one shot. Two reportedly to the head and four more? The officer emptying a clip either missed a few, or did not empty the clip. Right?

According to the Times, “many” witnesses agree that there was a struggle between Brown and Wilson while Wilson was still in his squad car.

If the policeman was in his car the only way a struggle could take place would be if Brown was instigating it.

“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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the police came out and went thru the timeline and showed the injury report then there would not have been any rioters and the governor would not be able to call for prosecuting an innocent man. Delay only helps the criminals.

“But but but Mister Lemon you told us it didn’t happen and the officer did not receive a fractured orb bone. You said the hospital told you this. You wouldn’t lie now would you Mister Lemon?”
