FULL TITLE: Is Ferguson officer about to be CLEARED over killing of unarmed Michael Brown? Al Sharpton leads outcry after report there is not enough evidence to charge cop who says he was 'in fear of his life'

Reverend Al Sharpton is leading a wave of outcry after a report suggested that investigators do not have enough evidence to charge a police officer over the shooting of Michael Brown.

Details revealed by the New York Times included the first account of the shooting to come from Darren Wilson - who says he struggled with Brown in his squad car and shot the teen when he grabbed for his gun.

Experts told the paper that they believe investigators do not have the evidence to prosecute Wilson on federal civil rights charges - meaning a grand jury could soon decide Wilson should not be tried over the killing.

Darren Wilson will be cleared just in time to mobilize the black vote to stem the republican landslide.

Are you saying the blood in the officers car has not been verified?

If you have a citation for “blood in the officer’s car” I’d like to see it. This is the first I have heard of “blood in the officer’s car”. I have heard of “fractured eye socket”, not a fractured eye socket, “wrestling through the window of the police car”, “wrestling in the police car”, and various recountings by police girlfriends etc.

OK, I appreciate that, I hadn’t seen it. Now, what was the injury that caused the blood? Where was the officer treated?

Didn’t you read it? It said the kid had been shot in the arm and it was his blood on the car and gun.

It also said “forensic evidence”. I took that to mean not just the officers story.

I thought the story said the officer’s blood was in the car, the gun and the kid, didn’t you read it?

Yes, I agree, if there is such forensic evidence, and it sounds like there is, it hasn’t had much press.

Here is the comment from the post.

"new forensics show that Brown's blood was in the car, on Wilson's gun, and on Wilson's person."

They have been threatening to come out to St. Charles, which is west of St. Louis. We’re ready for them though.

Oh, ok, not as exculpatory as I thought.

If the officer’s blood was in the car, on the gun and on the kid, it would be an open and shut case.

With Brown’s blood all over everything, all that for sure shows is Brown was bleeding.

Thank you for clarifying.

Actually it shows much more then that. It shows Brown accosted the officer in the car and in all probability the blood on the gun was from either blood spatter from being shot or blood from Brown trying to take the gun. Given there was no injury to Brown evidenced in the video inside the store he had to have gotten it with his struggle with Wilson inside the car. The evidence corroborates Wilson's story not bystanders.

He may be about to be cleared of killing a man who attacked him due to justifiable conditions.

But it doesn’t matter. The Feds will then charge him with Civil rights violations.
