34. Where this falls apart for me (as an outsider looking in)
Thu Oct 23, 2014, 01:20 PM
Oct 2014

Brown had already been shot in the SUV and decides it would be a good time to run from being shot at. Most would consider this a normal fight/flight response. Most would agree his adrenaline is really pumping after being shot, which is when he makes the decision to run.

Then we're supposed to believe that although he made what seemed like a fairly logical decision AFTER being shot, that in the middle of his fleeing for his life he suddenly gets stupid from the adrenaline and police confrontation and decides to charge the man actively firing a gun at him? Was he so high on MJ that he had no sense of self-preservation?

Let's not forget that it is very likely that the eyewitness accounts of Wilson firing at Brown's back are accurate because of the bullet that ended up in a woman's house and not in Brown's back. Plainly, Wilson missed.

This case is stinky and the "evidence" so far is all one-sided in favor of Wilson although an eyewitness completely contradicts the story being told by a police force already caught in multiple lies.

so the medical examiners and FBI are in on it? snooper2 Oct 2014 #11
Why would they have to be in on it? Rex Oct 2014 #12
Well, I actually read the entire report, no gunshot wounds in the back- snooper2 Oct 2014 #14
The report kept saying homicide, I guess that is why Wilson fled like a coward. Rex Oct 2014 #15
