Daily Kos says FPD lied about the distance Brown was from the Police cruiser when shot

by Wilson.

For 104 days, the police have lied and said Mike Brown was killed 35 feet away from Darren Wilson's SUV. It was actually 148 feet.

This distance is essential to the defense and how Darren Wilson must demonstrate that he "reasonably feared for his safety." At the point in which Mike Brown ran half a football field away, how reasonable is it for an armed officer to fear anyone?

On the afternoon of August 9, 2014, Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Mike Brown, an unarmed teenager, in Ferguson, Missouri. Below is the first video filmed from Canfield Drive, where the shooting occurred, showing the exact measurement between where Darren Wilson's SUV was parked and Mike Brown died. After that, we methodically debunk the lie that Mike Brown was killed in close proximity to Darren Wilson's SUV.

Our starting point, which is 17 feet behind the driver's side window of Darren Wilson's SUV, is this yellow fire hydrant next to the storm drain.

Brown but at no point while moving that distance did the cop realize he was not handling the situation right. The cop let his emotions get away from him, and that is not a good thing in many situations, but especially when one has a gun in their hand an exaggerated sense of power.
It does seem to prove that Brown was trying to get away from the altercation in the car, so how can the cop say he was in fear for his safety?
