The cop didn’t call in the “incident” didn’t call the EMTs, shot multiple times back and front, and now you say he is telling the truth? He actually is saying nothing, I assume he is lawyered up and awaiting being charged.

MB was not shot in the back.

The cell-phone videos from the neighbors make that extremely clear. (Body face down toward officer, white shirt with no blood marks on the back, obvious bleeding from the head and upper torso).

The cell-phone videos were made by residents who hate the cops. If there was evidence that the officer had killed MB as he was running away, they would have spotted it. Check them out - they are still posted on Youtube.

Audio from the police car has already been leaked, although not officially released. It supports the officer's version of events.

Personal acquaintances of the officer have leaked his story.

The robbery committed by MB and DJ just prior to the shooting explains their reactions when stopped by a cop a few minutes later.

The officer called in the incident and left the scene to get medical treatment for his own injuries - and also to get away from an increasingly hostile gathering of residents.

Since being publicly identified, the officer has fled his home and is in hiding. He is most certainly not going to make any public statements to a hostile press or anyone else, given the utterly toxic political climate.

The preponderance of information (not "facts" mind you) tends to favor the police story.

I don't assume that police are ever telling the truth any more - especially when violent confrontations with blacks happen. Having said that, this still looks like a justified shooting.
