“Brown had been walking with a friend down the center of Canfield Drive when Wilson, passing in his patrol vehicle, told them to move to the sidewalk. They did not. Wilson testified that he then realized Brown was a robbery suspect. A scuffle broke out at the vehicle. Wilson fired a shot that hit Brown in the right hand. When Brown ran, Wilson gave chase. At some point, Brown stopped and turned toward Wilson, who opened fire. “
This explanation of the first encounter by the AP shows either bias or incompetence by the reporter. There is no mention of Brown assaulting the officer and going for his gun. An action like this can only be interpreted by the officer as an attempt to kill him.
Without this type of negligent reporting we may have had no grand jury investigation and no riots. This negligence is wide spread in a media that feels it has a right to shape public opinion. The media does great harm to the Nation and the public needs to be careful as to what they believe.
Where is the “why can’t we all just get along” plea from Brown’s friend?
The bigger thing thats missing is that Browns blood was found 25 yards beyond where he fell. So he didn’t, as the article says, just turn. He turned and charged.
The physical evidence shows this. Wilson’s testimony matches it, as does the testimony of several credible eye witnesses.
No mention of Brown taunting Wilson that he was too much of a p%#&@ to shoot him, either.
Famous last words...I want that to live on like “Put some ice on that” and “Don’t taze me, bro”...
Then Brown ran away a distance, and when told to turn around did so with his hands in the air pleading "don't shoot" while the evil, racist Wilson filled him with lead.
You can be da.. sure libs will never stop believing that narrative. That narrative reveals the gullibility of libs. Who thinks a much smaller cop would try to pull a suspect, especially a suspect the size of Brown, into their vehicle? How dumb (or biased) do you have to be to believe that scenario?
