(6,960 posts)is quite simple. Why exit the car?
If MB was suck a hulk, such a demon... and you were sooooooooooo afraid, yet had (at least initially) the safety of the police car with backup en route, why the hell would you exit the vehicle to pursue this massive threat on foot? Especially since he'd already been wounded and was unarmed, why get out of the damn car!!!!
Wilson's supposedly a trained police officer, but he offers the same bullshit we heard from the untrained Zimmermann. Both were in vehicles, yet they were so fearful of the hooded, hulking black male, they got out of the protective shell offered by the vehicle. Really??????? It makes no damn sense.
Moreover, WTF led to the melee in/at the car? All reports start with Brown walking down the street and Wilson coming upon him and barking orders for him to get out of the street. I can likely imagine just how he said it, too. No one has yet explained what happened next. It makes no sense for MB to simply walk up to the cop car. Instead, it makes more likely sense that Wilson pulled along side Brown who was not immediately compliant to his ORDER (his fucking authority) and threatened to make him get out of the street, perhaps brandishing his gun. Then MB, in self defense, grabbed at it, and was shot, leaving his blood in the car and GSW residue on his hand(s). That's when MB fled and Wilson, the bully who couldn't stand the affront to his ego and his authority, literally hunted him down with an ultimate coup de grace kill shot to the top of the frigging head.
Good for you and all your training, but Wilson's story reeks; and if you're one of the good cops, you should recognize that.
