Some witnesses said Michael Brown had been shot in the back. Another said he was face-down on the ground when Officer Darren Wilson "finished him off." Still others acknowledged changing their stories to fit published details about the autopsy or admitted that they did not see the shooting at all.
An Associated Press review of thousands of pages of grand jury documents reveals numerous examples of statements made during the shooting investigation that were inconsistent, fabricated or provably wrong. For one, the autopsies ultimately showed Brown was not struck by any bullets in his back.
Prosecutors exposed these inconsistencies before the jurors, which likely influenced their decision not to indict Wilson in Brown's death.
Bob McCulloch, the St. Louis County prosecutor, said the grand jury had to weigh testimony that conflicted with physical evidence and conflicting statements by witnesses as it decided whether Wilson should face charges.
"Many witnesses to the shooting of Michael Brown made statements inconsistent with other statements they made and also conflicting with the physical evidence. Some were completely refuted by the physical evidence," McCulloch said.
The decision Monday not to charge Wilson with any crime set off more violent protests in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson and around the country, fueled by claims that the unarmed black 18-year-old was shot while surrendering to the white officer in the mostly African-American city.
What people thought were facts about the Aug. 9 shooting have become intertwined with what many see as abuses of power and racial inequality in America.
And media coverage of the shooting's aftermath made it into the grand jury proceedings. Before some witnesses testified, prosecutors showed jurors clips of the same people making statements on TV.
Their inconsistencies began almost immediately after the shooting...

I'm glad the Grand Jury released its report so folks could see the facts. Some will never accept the facts, but many will see what is true behind the media firestorm.

Good one! Fix one up for the Kingsmen’s ‘Jolly Green Giant’ song!!!
If it’s like the Watts area in Los Angeles, Ferguson can look forward to a future of gang activity, housing projects, and constant explosive tension with the police accompanied with minimal actual law enforcement.
This was the above-the-fold top headline for the local newspaper this morning, which I learned about because I saw it in the supermarket, buying an extra carton of milk—it would never have graced the driveway of our home.
“or what the meanings of are are”
or what the meanings of be is be
Try as the lapdog MSM might, the truth hits home and they just can’t bring themselves to admit that young black thugs are perpetrators, not victims
“fee.. fee..
fi.. fi ..”
reminded me of an old joke...
you write down and have somebody read
Fee Fi Fee Fee Fi Fee Fee
Then you nod, and say right, that’s Mike Tyson’s Phone Number
Unfortunately, the Sec 8 housing will lure them into the adjacent communities, just waiting to be screwed up like Ferguson. Ants at the picnic, here they come for what belongs to others, over and over and over.
So hard for the MSM to come to grips with the fact that all of the solid, incontrovertible evidence supported Wilson’s statements.

“ferguson has taught me much about the black community”
So, is this your first week in America or did you just get cable?

They’ve been told all of their lives by the schools, and the MSM, that they have been wronged.

Any cop will tell you that generally the least reliable evidence in any investigation is eye witness testimony.

The headshot went through the top of the head, through the face, exited the jaw, went past the clavicle, and stopped by the lung. If Wilson had ‘finished him off’ while Brown was laying on the ground, the officer would have to be in a prone position. That has never been stated by any witness. Witnesses lie, forensics doesn’t.
