Michael Brown's Official Autopsy Reportedly Seems To Support The Story Of The Cop Who Shot Him

Michael Brown's official autopsy report does not seem to support the narrative that he had his hands up and was running away when he was shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, according to experts who spoke to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The newspaper obtained a copy of the autopsy report, which details Brown's wounds. A white police officer shot Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in August after stopping him and a friend for walking in the street.

The police officer, Darren Wilson, reportedly told investigators that there was an altercation in his police vehicle before he shot Brown. Wilson claimed Brown was reaching for Wilson's gun.

Brown's wounds seem to support that — according to the autopsy, he was shot in the hand at a very close range. A forensic pathologist told the Post-Dispatch that "if he has his hand near the gun when it goes off, he’s going for the officer’s gun."

The report also seems to suggest that Brown was facing Wilson when Wilson fired the fatal shots, not running away as some witnesses have said. (Need to file charges against the witnesses)

From the Post-Dispatch:

2. An indictment is coming regardless of the facts

What would be the point of leaking info if that's the case? Not going to stop it from happening, and the trial would make it obvious how innocent the cop was. If what's been leaked so far is true, the last thing people who hate Darren Wilson want is for this to go to open trial. Few people have bothered to figure out a map with the location of the various witnesses and get a grasp of their realistic view of the events, and I have a suspicion a map of the forensic evidence is going to show a picture the "Brown was an innocent" faction do not want to see.

My train of thought is along the lines of someone with a sense of right & wrong might sense (or know) which way the wind is blowing in the GJ and perhaps wants to get as much out as possible before an indictment is handed down.

No matter what they say, nothing will appease the “No Justice, No Peace” crowd.

I remember listening to my dad and he said that witness testimony is very unreliable because you can have to people standing right next to each other seeing the exact same thing and presenting two different accounts. This is the first time in law enforcement history we will have about 70,000 individuals offering up as witnesses to the event in question and provide identical accounts of the events. What’s amazing is that of the 70,000 accounts, none were actually there at the time. They watched some guy’s camera phone and in conjunction with testimony from activists and people that watched actors that played characters on “The Wire” they all know exactly what occurred. the white guy did it.
That was one busy street.

speaking of prepared...I know you know this field of topic.

Any suggestions on building an e library of survival stuff on an e reader? I’m looking at getting a Kindle or something similar. Reason being, I can’t keep all my books,etc in my head. (or my rucksack if need be)

Lots of stuff out there free to download you just have to poke around a bit. Don’t forget to have a long term plan for power.
