In reply to the discussion: CNN Breaking News email: Police Officer Darren Wilson to resign [View all]brush
(61,033 posts)that if Wilson resigns there won't be an indictment.
A report came out yesterday on Daily Kos on the lie that the police have been telling since day one on the distance from which Wilson unloaded his gun into Brown. They've been saying all along that it was only 35 feet from Wilson's cop SUV but someone finally measured it with a tape measure and the actual distance was about 148 feet . . . 50 fucking yards.
What a crock of lies it is that the unarmed Brown was an imminent threat to the armed Wilson's life at more than 50 yards away half a football field.
Brown ran 50 yards from the SUV before turning around and raising his hands after being shot at 50 FUCKING YARDS.
They know this will come out in a trial, thus the resignation deal.
The police department, the DA and all the criminal justice establishment in Ferguson, the county and the state have invested so much in getting behind Wilson (evidenced by the fact that there is still no incident report) and will do anything to save face, and the murdering cop from going to trial and having all their lies and his be exposed.
And where is the press on this? How come with all the media there no one thought to actual measure the crime scene?
IMO the fix is obviously in.
