I appreciate the report. I truly do.

I think less of the videographer after reading the report.

However, I'm much more concerned about Officer Wilson's veracity in written reports now. At best it smells to me as if Officer Wilson is fast and loose with the facts. At worst it appears to me that Officer Wilson lied in at least one written incident report.

I'd refer you to Askedwhy5times' post #91, although the video does not show whether the videographer previously had the camera in Officer WIlson's face.

If Officer Wilson exaggerated or misstated facts one incident reports, or simply made up facts, that goes to his credibility in the Brown report.

That doesn't mean was unjustified in his actions against Brown. It does mean that the incident may well not have happened exactly as Officer Brown reported.

When I first read Askedwhy5times’ post #91, I had to go back to find the reference to the videographer holding the camera “in Officer Wilson’s face,” because that wasn’t how I read it and isn’t what he actually says. So I don’t see Wilson as being “fast and loose with the facts”, because those weren’t the facts I saw presented.

Does illustrate one reason why police reports are inadmissible in a criminal court unless the police officer is available for cross examination; two people may read the same statement very different ways.
