Police Officer in Ferguson Is Said to Recount a Struggle

By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT, MATT APUZZO and JULIE BOSMANOCT. 17, 2014

WASHINGTON — The police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., two months ago has told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled over his gun with Mr. Brown, according to government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation into the matter.

The officer, Darren Wilson, has told the authorities that during the scuffle, Mr. Brown reached for the gun. It was fired twice in the car, according to forensics tests performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The first bullet struck Mr. Brown in the arm; the second bullet missed.

The forensics tests showed Mr. Brown’s blood on the gun, as well as on the interior door panel and on Officer Wilson’s uniform. Officer Wilson told the authorities that Mr. Brown had punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck.

This is the first public account of Officer Wilson’s testimony to investigators, but it does not explain why, after he emerged from his vehicle, he fired at Mr. Brown multiple times. It contradicts some witness accounts, and it will not calm those who have been demanding to know why an unarmed man was shot a total of six times. Mr. Brown’s death continues to fuel anger and sometimes-violent protests.

The false narrative continues to fall apart while the lying witnesses become exposed for what they truly are.

A sad day when PC means a cop can't shoot a black man that attacks him.

With this evidence, the narrative is definite bull****.
 
The forensic report is kind of a game changer as far as the competing versions go.
 
Thread is strangely quiet.

If he is guilty--hard to tell now with the way his politically-connected DA has botched the case.
The race pimps will see to that.

Race pimps huh apdst huh--still spewing these moronic nonsensical lies.


If I were Wilson, I'd be figure who all I'm going to sue.

sure--murder a black man and then sue blacks--the 4th era of the KKK has now dawned.
Think all of these white policeman murdering blacks before an election is a coincidence to scare whites?
Not with the militant right-wing militias .

Are you serious?
 
Why let a little forensic evidence backing a white mans testimony get in the way of left wing fascist zealots who want to start crap and sit on their couch behind a keyboard and not back it up. Yes he is serious and demented.

From the beginning the officers story held up. The forensics is just one more nail in the coffin against the prosecute the police crowed. Those making it into a racial issues rather than what it is (a cop defending himself in the line of duty) are just as bad on both sides.
 
Anyone want to guess if those cop-shooting thugs protesting in Missouri even care about this testimony or the evidence obtained from the vehicle?

The two "sides" have never been equivocal. Lets not pretend otherwise.

Yes they have. The cop was defending himself from a "thug" and worse while the opposite side with it's race baiting etc. 2 Sides of the same coin.

Of course I am no partisan hack either.

There were video clips of the thug robbing a store just before-and the story all around NEVER changed-instead it was the race baiters that wanted this to be a black kid getting shot by a white cop-that was the narrative despite the facts.

When the left decides it wants to address the absence of black fathers, the black crime rate, black-on-black violence, drug use, std prevalence, single parenthood, etc get back to me.

Those are REAL problems, and they are glossed over.
 
1) This is a black "boy" killed by a white cop.

2) news reports a black man open fired on a cop in St. Louis not long ago and he was killed. They were the same age.

3) evidence is now out that the officer WAS attacked inside his car.

4) witness stories changed and did not account for details.

This is about race. Why?

5) Ferguson was nearly destroyed in a race riot.

6) the city's business owner's (many black), had to abandon ship due to the riots. Leaving this city broken.

It seems the only people who gained anything here was the news networks who inflamed the situation...and a certain Rev. That we all know.

Last time I checked, giving false witness statements and false testimony are a crime.

Dorian Johnson excepted, none of the witnesses denied that Brown attacked Wilson in his car.

This doesn't discredit the evidence of manslaughter.

Perhaps but in light of the circumstances, and the already obtained forensic evidence showing Brown's hands were up, etc he wont be convicted-nor should he.

Doesn't the fact that Brown's hands were up indicate that it was manslaughter, as opposed to justifiable?
