So
So? It's a pretty big part of the incident. He's using what happened in the car as pat of his defense. That's cool - but at what point does the incident in the car have little bearing on the choice to use deadly force, in another location. He looks great if he kills brown right at the car. But once Brown has bailed, ran 173 feet... he's no longer a punk with his hand on a cop's gun, as was the case in the very awesome, very legal first bullets fired.
Now, Brown is a wounded a-hole, at least 23 feet away. returning to wilson. Wilson can use deadly or non-deadly, either way there. But it's way different than shooting a person in your car with hand on gun. He's on foot, wounded, 23 feet away, at least. You are a trained cop of 8+ years, with awards, plenty of training, and a great 6 4 frame.
Cop "lost" 120 feet because he wanted the shoot to be the only option. I don't even care that he shot the piece of shit, not one bit. I care that the cop tried to fudge the truth (not realizing they'll measure using the blood and dead body). He TRIED to make it look like he hopped out of car and got the sucker - not that he chased the dude 173+ feet, ordered him to stop, and lost control of a 2nd situtation and had to fire.
Cop "lost" 120 feet that - that is all I care aobut here. Not the shoot. But the fact a cop can lie about 120 feet... he can lie about anything else to make his case stronger. To any of us.
Brown deserved the bullets, but the Public deserves the cop to be 100% truthful
