It is simply this: The Post-Dispatch - a "news" paper - was quoted by WaPo. Instead of WaPo coming out and stating what they are actually doing here (and they are basically issuing a retraction) they instead decided to toss the St. Louis Post-Dispatch under the bus. How convenient...

So what are the possibile explanations?

1.) Brown did not reach for the gun, but was shot.

2.) Brown reached for the gun and was shot.

All the witnesses say that there was a scuffle though.

Nonetheless, eyewitness testimony (including eyewitness testimony from another eyewitness - Officer Darren Wilson - tends to be unreliable.

IIRC, from the original reported denial by the pathologist, it struck me that she did not want to agree with the police version of the incident, but suggested that the evidence didn’t “jive” with St. Swisher’s accomplice’s version.

The pathologist refers to the “back” of the arm and the “front” of the arm. Folks might be less confused if she used the terms “inside” and “outside” of the arm. That way, the low-IQ Yutes in America would be less likely to assume that the Gentle Giant was shot from the “back”.
