30. What about the officer at the police station to whom Wilson gave his statement after the shooting?

He didn't record Wilson's statement because he had no tape recorder. He didn't transcribe it in written form because he says too much was going on at the time. His actions or lack thereof seemed designed to prevent Wilson from getting pinned down to a version of what happened in order to allow him to change his story as the investigation unfolded. I simply cannot believe that in an officer involved shooting, a rare and highly important matter for the small town, that Wilson's statement could not have been recorded. They could have called a court reporting service to have a court stenographer come and record the statement.

Exactly. If this scenario made Wilson shit himself, he shouldn't be a cop. nt SunSeeker Nov 2014 #10

The shots in his arms were shot upward. That means his arms were up, just as robinlynne Dec 2014 #64
