The officer who fatally gunned down Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., described to the grand jury how the unarmed teen overpowered and taunted him.
“I drew my gun,” Officer Darren Wilson recalled. “I said, ‘Get back or I’m going to shoot you.’ He immediately grabs my gun and says, ‘You are too much of a pu–y to shoot me.”
The officer said he was sitting in his patrol car when he drew his firearm after Brown slugged him twice in the face through an open window. They proceeded to struggle over the weapon and Wilson — who is 6 feet 4 — said he was overmatched.
“When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it, I felt like a 5-year-old holding on to Hulk Hogan,” Wilson said. “That’s just how big he felt and how small I felt.”

I believe he felt totally overpowered by Mike Brown. That would definitely be the case when Brown has all the leverage while standing over Wilson. Wrestling a 300 plus pound guy while you’re in a seated position puts even the strongest guy at a severe disadvantage.
“You’re too much of a pussy to shoot me.”
I’ll bet that Clint Eastwood could incorporate this line into a movie quite nicely.
It did...the prosecutor took great pains to include these facts a couple of times in his announcement last night...graze wound on RT hand with gunpowder imbedded in tissue, Brown's blood and dna in the vehicle and on Officer Wilson.
IMO, the "issue" became the lies of Brown having had his hands up and being shot in cold blood.
Saturday night Michael Brown, Sr. was a spectator(?) at a murder in St. Louis County.

“Doorman killed at grand opening of north county bar.”
“The bar was hosting a live watch party for the big Pacquiao-Algieri championship boxing match Saturday night. Witnesses say several high profile guests were in attendance including basketball star Larry Hughes, former Ram Orlando Pace, and Michael Brown, Sr., the father of Michael Brown, Jr., the teenager shot and killed in August by a Ferguson Police officer.”
St Louis must be a wonderful place to live!

Has anybody heard what type of handgun and what caliber Officer Wilson carried?
Sig Sauer .40cal
Spot on.
So the question needs to be asked - “Are you going to be the next Ben Carson or the next Michael Brown?”
Prezactly!
Thanks!
“Hey man, you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclimation”?

I was too busy watching Winona Ryder doing her ping-pong ball trick.
“You’re too much of a pussy to shoot me.”
Wrong!
“the lies of Brown having had his hands up and being shot in cold blood.”
They imagined the worst case scenario in terms of how the officer reacted and why, but then they ran with it as though it was a foregone conclusion. That kind of attitude towards law enforcement and our justice system can get a person killed and they’d have no one to blame but themselves. Michael Brown himself was a legal adult and apparently, did not and could not have appreciated the gravity of his situation.
I still don’t see the problem. Witnesses prepare for grand jury testimony all the time. Since they are unable to have legal counsel with them during the questioning process, they better have their act together. He’s had plenty of time to think about how he’d explain this w/or w/o lawyer prep.
“black lives have no value”
NOT so, looters believe it’s worth at least a 60” plasma TV and a case of Panther Whizz. Maybe even a pair of Nike’s.

Also, one take-away from the Bible is that we often judge ourselves in this life by the way we live and the decisions we make. Those who choose violent lives sometimes die violent deaths. Those who will not forgive often are not extended forgiveness by others. Those who do not respect the rights and property of others sometimes are denied their own rights and property. Way too many people do not have a thoughtful approach to their lives and their relationships with others. It surely would be refreshing to hear some real wisdom from leaders and the ranks of all sides.
I don’t know,but the thug who stole them sure got smoked.
Another lesson to be learned from this,no more single officer patrol cars.
