He wasn't on his way to college literally that day but was scheduled to begin college shortly.
There are reports that he actually had paid for the cigars from the store, as there was no call to police by the store owner reporting a theft.
As far as hitting the cop in the face, the x-ray of a broken eye socket that was posted online and supposed to be of the cop have been debunked as false. They were x-rays of someone else. And there is a recent video out of Wilson walking through police headquarters right after the murder and there is clearly no trauma whatsoever to his face. Research that please.
And you weren't there so you don't know what happened at the car. Witnesses have said that the cop grabbed Brown through his open window and drew his gun. How stupid do you think someone is to try to reach into a car, a police car no less with the steering wheel in the way, and try to grab a gun from fastened in a holster on the driver's hip belt?
It's much more likely that the cop already had the gun out when he grabbed Brown through his window.
And here's something else for you to research. You said not to paint Brown as something he wasn't, well don't paint the cop and the whole law enforcement establishment as something they aren't either.
A report came out yesterday on the Daily Kos website of an apparent 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 the cop's vehicle but someone finally measured it with a tape measure and the actual distance was about 148 feet . . . that's just about 50 fucking yards.
What a crock of lies it is wouldn't you say, that the unarmed Brown was an imminent threat to the armed Wilson's life at 50 yards away?
Brown ran 50 yards from the SUV before turning around and raising his hands after being shot at and possibly wounded from the back 50 FUCKING YARDS half a football field. Again, how stupid do you think an unarmed person has to be to charge a cop firing a weapon at him from 50 yards yards away and expect to get to the cop and do bodily harm to him?
No one does that, no one charges into live bullets being fired at him, especially from that far away.
And no one with any sense would believe such a thing, that's why the lie has been put out that the distance Wilson was from Brown was only 35 feet, not the actual 148 feet.
They know this will come out in a trial, thus the resignation deal that is brewing. An innocent man certainly would not be trying to resign.
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 save the murdering cop from going to trial and having all their lies, and his, exposed.
And where is the press on this? How come with all the media there in Ferguson not one of the 'investigative journalists' (and I use that term loosely) thought to actual measure the crime scene? IMO the fix is obviously in and the press has seemed to buy the police version of the story, as you apparently have.
And I have to say from your positive response to my post about the original Black Panther Party you should know better than to just accept as fact the story of a racist cop without questioning it.
Do you think that racism and brutality in police forces around the country magically disappeared since the days of the original Black Panther Party?
