WASHINGTON — The police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., two months ago has told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled over his gun with Mr. Brown, according to government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation into the matter.

The officer, Darren Wilson, has told the authorities that during the scuffle, Mr. Brown reached for the gun. It was fired twice in the car, according to forensics tests performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The first bullet struck Mr. Brown in the arm; the second bullet missed........

Need to see if it reappears after the grand jury acquits Officer Wilson. Don’t know who owns the photo and if they have official authority to release it.Something to watch for.

I worked in a big city ER for many years.As a result I can assure you a) that the cop received some sort of medical care at some point after the incident (perhaps in an ER..perhaps elsewhere) and b) that photos were taken by the cops and/or the physician that was consulted.

You are absolutely not the only person.

The Fed governemnt is there to hang Wilson because the Brown was black and all the street criminals and race industry CEO’s came out to support Brown and made lots of noise.

Wilson knows the Feds are there to hang him and most everyone else knows it.

Brown was playing Mr. Badass walking down the middle of the street right after strong arming some little Indian guy running a greedymart, then badass attacks a cop...

After being wounded he walks away, then decided to continue the badass role and walked back towards Wilson to show that cop how badassed he was....

But Wilson was done playing with this dangerous lumberhead. And very justifiable so.

NYT publishes an article with new info that supports the cop.

Not really. They throw in Johnson’s original lies that fanned the flames of neighborhood thugs leading to riots. He has since recanted the lies.

...

I agree. The NYT is putting in quite an effort to keep the black lynch mob going.

You mean like the lie that he was shot in the back?? Good God...the families *own pathologist* has publicly declared that *that* wasn't true.

Michael Brown wanted to prove what a tough mother fletcher he was. He wanted to have street cred and all that.

You wonder if any other tough gang types will learn any lessons from this. How tough are you and how much street cred do you have if you are dead????

either there's two bullet holes in the cop car or there are not....and either Brown was shot up close in his arm while in the car or he was not....there should be blood evidence I would think....

facts can be messy at times....

Brown approached the liquor store owner in a threatening manner then RE-approached him a second time. He used this same technique with Officer Wilson!

Justifiable self defense. No evidence to the contrary.

Brown’s blood was on the interior door panel. How do you suppose it got there if Brown’s arm was not inside the vehicle?

If it’s the photo that was widely reposted, there was a disclaimer in the original article that it was not Wilsons actual xray.

It was stock photo being used as an example of what an orbital fracture looks like

Facts don’t matter. The agenda has been set. Attorney General Eric Himmler has spoken.

This case had all the earmarks of a person being railroaded, it was so easy to call from the beginning.

Yes officer Darren Wilson is still in danger of being railroaded, but thankfully some good news comes out today in his favor

Meanwhile Jon Stewart and the gang says officer Darren is guilty???

Don’t they realize that Wilson has to die for the sins of whites since time immemorial.

That is true. The racists are not interested in the truth. F them.

New forensics show that Brown’s blood was in the car, on Wilson’s gun, and on Wilson’s person.

I’m sure the officer reached thru an open window and grabbed the gentle giant at 6-4” and around 300# around the neck....yeah, right....

From the article.

“but it does not explain why, after he emerged from his vehicle, he fired at Mr. Brown multiple times. It contradicts some witness accounts,”

It was also confirmed by some witnesses that Brown was coming back after the officer in a threatening manner after he was ordered to stop.

They won’t learn anything.

If they had a brain to begin with, they’d never get caught up in all that gangster tough guy bull s**t.

The prisons and boneyards are full of these idiots who just threw their lives away playing the big shot tough guy role. As fast as they can wheel them out, they’re replaced by more.

In a sane society, film/music producers attempting to glorify this BS would never receive a dime and would be treated like some deadly plague.

But that won’t happen either.

So there ya have it.
