That is the correct answer still_one Oct 2014 #4

correct, a rational person would realize that this cop got the shit scared out of him snooper2 Oct 2014 #12

"This evidence". What evidence? Do you think probable cause exists to indict KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #16

I have no idea and neither do you because the results of the grand jury ARE NOT OUT YET snooper2 Oct 2014 #20

Please explain how a wound on Brown's hand corroborates in any meaningful way KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #22

Thank you. Depending upon how Wilson brandished his weapon at Brown -- and KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #54

I'd love to see a reenactment, showing how he could grab a holstered gun inside an SUV arcane1 Oct 2014 #65

I've elsewhere called that scenario of Brown 'going after Wilson's gun' utterly KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #68

there's a big IF there hfojvt Oct 2014 #34

you're still assuming that he did TorchTheWitch Oct 2014 #32

Wait the doctor examined documents. upaloopa Oct 2014 #3

"a significant altercation in the car" does not corroborate Wilson's account, which was that Brown merrily Oct 2014 #5

Has Wilson's actual account of the shooting been released? All I've seen is other people telling Arkansas Granny Oct 2014 #14

Good point. The sources of the leaks have not been named. merrily Oct 2014 #18

It was leaked to reporters for the NY Times last Friday in a late-night KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #19

And the second/third hand retelling of "Wilson's account" Bettie Oct 2014 #30

the part that doesn't make sense though hfojvt Oct 2014 #36

Why do you assume the 'pull' was 'during the struggle', as opposed to what initiated Erich Bloodaxe BSN Oct 2014 #49

Yep. n/t Travelman Oct 2014 #66

No, it doesn't. All the autopsy report confirms is that Wilson's KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #11

Most, if not all, the witnesses say there was an altercation at the car. But the autopsy does not Hoyt Oct 2014 #29

It would also support Dorion Johnson's version of events justiceischeap Oct 2014 #37
