Eyewitness accounts make plain that:
1) Michael Brown profaned a police officer who at first simply asked him get out of th middle of the street.
2) Micael Brown refused to get out of the middle of the street.
3) Michael Brown assaulted the police officer when he returned to question Brown, striking him several times in the face
4) Michael Brown ran from the police car after assaulting the officer.
5) Michael Brown turned around and taunted the police officer when he was told to stop.
6) Michael Brown charged the police officer.
7) Michael Brown was killed by gunfire from the police officer.
The police incident report agrees with this sequence of events.
Conversation from two bystanders discussing what happened on a YouTube video agrees with this sequence of events.
The medical report on the officer indicates he was severely beaten about the face and head...beaten almost unconscious...and sustained a fractured orbital bone to his left eye.
Michael Brown was a large, very powerfully built and strong young man who was also a violent criminal and thug.
This officer was heroic in his actions.
After significant injury to himself, and at moral peril to himself, he confronted a violent criminal and attempted to do his duty and apprehend the criminal. He then had to defend his life against the criminal and shoot him.
God bless you officer Wilson, and God keep and keep you.
Amen to that!
Well done, Jeff.
According to the media and libertarians, this can’t be true. All police are evil authoritarians just itching to harass and murder innocent black teens and peaceful protesters.
You forgot that Brown tried to take the officer’s pistol after slugging him resulting in a round being fired in the vehicle after which Officer Wilson regained control of his weapon.
If that is indeed what happened, and it looks to be so, I feel so bad for this man. He’s been beaten down physically and now psychologically with all the public defamation taking place branding HIM the “bad guy” in the incident. He’s had to uproot his family and move out of his home to go in hiding all because he was determined to bring a criminal to justice and subsequently had to defend himself from further harm. What I’ve been wondering though is why has he not defended himself, make some kind of public statement in his own defense?
