(11,065 posts)examination in measuring starting at the cop car. And since they did, I have no idea what it is they're attempting to show. The distance between the cop car and Brown's body doesn't have any meaning. It isn't relevant to anything.
It certainly sounds a lot more reasonable that Wilson shot and killed Brown from a distance of something like 35 feet between them as was apparently said by police knowing that this would be the measurement that had relevance. And I agree that it's not a detail that the police would have missed. But that doesn't explain the purpose of whoever did this other examination and why they started the measurement at the police car especially when it was already known that Wilson didn't fire the shots that killed Brown from the police car or in the vicinity of the police car.
So, I'm still stumped as to what in the world this examination in the OP is attempting to show. The title says that the police lied, but about what? And what is it that this other examination has to do with it? Of course the police wouldn't care what the distance was from the police car to Brown's body since it doesn't mean anything, so I'm not seeing why the police would have lied about that distance or even bothered to measure it in the first place because the distance from the car to Brown's body has no relevance.
