ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) A new account of the events surrounding the shooting of Michael Brown has just been released by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Their source says that Michael Brown kept charging Officer Wilson. One of the Brown familys lawyers tells the paper that Wilsons version of events is absurd.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Officer Wilson spotted Michael Brown and friend, Dorian Johnson, walking in the middle of Canfield Drive on August 9th. Traffic was passing the teens on both sides. Their source says he asked or ordered them to the sidewalk.
Wilson noticed that Johnsons clothing matched a recent radio alert about a robbery suspect. He then called for assistance and backed up his SUV to Brown and Johnson.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatchs source says Brown slammed the vehicles door and punched Wilson in the face while he was trying to get out. Trapped, Wilson drew his gun. Their source says Brown grabbed the pistol. The two struggled for the weapon and two shots were fired. Then, Wilson got out of the SUV and chased Brown.

This is getting ridiculous.
I could go on a rant here, but I need to be still about this for now.

Who believes this crappola?
You have to be pretty stupid to think that someone charges right into live bullets.

(16,199 posts)People actually believe a person, having been already wounded, would charge back into certain death rather than fleeing?

(34,648 posts)Kid seemed average, normal. No mental health issues that I heard of. He would have to be seriously disturbed to change his mind about getting away from certain death by committing suicide by cop. His only option was surrender. That's what I think he was trying to do.

Most of us knew Brown would get no justice. Just more proof imo.

(12,778 posts)Frankly, I think they are under too much pressure not to indict. How many times have they heard through various media (even though they're not supposed to be listening) how dire the consequences will be if there is no bill?
