7. It sounds crazy because it is a LIE

I'm going to post my comment from another thread.

Darren Wilson's version of the story is IMPOSSIBLE. Either that, or Mike Brown is truly inhuman. Because he is the only person who has ever lived on this planet, who, while running and being shot at, turned and decided to run 150 FEET back towards the gun. He was running, shots fired that missed, and so he turned and was going to run half of a football field, not stopping even when he was hit multiple times, until he was killed. Pretending to have a gun in his waistband that he didn't have so keeping his hand in his shorts as he ran, a completely unnatural posture and would slow someone down considerably. The boy was running into bullets because he was so mad the cop told him to walk on the sidewalk.

That is the story that the prosecutor allowed the jury to hear and aided them to believe. That was the story that was not questioned or cross-examined. It was the eye witnesses that were cross-examined. The grand jury was not the place to put those witnesses on trial, and it sure as shit isn't the job of the prosecutor to kill his own case. All he had to do was show how incredibly untrue Wilson's story was and then hammered him at trial.
