In reply to the discussion: And not just The Scream, but he called him an "F---in' Coon!!!" [View all]Mojo Electro
(362 posts)53. Listening to this audio...
He clearly said "fucking punks". There's the pop of the "P" in the beginning, the vowel sounding like an "uh" and not an "ooo" sound, and the break of the "k" at the end....
Let me be clear, this isn't a comment about the other aspects of the case. But in this particular audio clip, he clearly said "punks" IMO, and people who hear "coons" hear that because they want to.

It's entirely possible that during the chase, he could have slipped on wet grass
