In reply to the discussion: Think again: Brown, Wilson, and Ferguson. [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)37. Question ...
If I grab you and you pull away, even slapping my hand as you pull away ... would you classify that as a fight?
That IS the statement of the one eye witness that saw the initial interaction.
What I think happened is after the fight at the car (where MB shoved the cop back into the car, went for his guy, and punched him in the face), that MB ran and cop chased him and told him to freeze. I think MB stopped and turned around, and that should have ended it. But I think after that, for some crazy reason, he didnt remain still he moved at the cop and thats why the cop shot him.
Now that contradicts the statements of ALL of the eye witnesses to the ENTIRE incident.
I believe the report about there not being enough evidence for the grand jury charge the cop. I think thats because they have witnesses, fingerprints, wounds that are consistent with what I said above.
I disagree ... I think the GJ not having enough evidence to indict is because the Prosecutor ... the guy that refused to issue a charge ... tanked the presentation.

Sure, If there was any such evidence it would have been made public weeks ago.

If there is evidence that proves the shooting was justified, I would accept it.

They're usually more likely to circle the wagons than to stop the bleeding. nt

Even if he did attack, did that require him being fucking TARGET PRACTICE? nt

Yes, b/c cops wanting to apprehend someone tell 2 guys to get on the fucking sidewalk.

You are not presenting anyone's side. Or much of anything. Your post is full of Ifs.

Even if Brown DID attack I find it impossible that he needed his brain blown out.

If you really believe this then you have to admit they would have never mentioned

Simple, why didn't they release that info before so people could factor it into how they felt.

It does matter if he was shot in the back at some distance and if brown surrendered before

I'm sorry, but if such evidence existed, it probably would've been outed a long time ago. nt
