you see... this is what happens often in these cases.....the police and especially the officer(s) involved begin to fudge the small facts until they add up to a plausible scenario which vindicates the offending officer(s)......they then fudge it on the police report as well where they leave out certain things and add other things...anyone who doesn't believe this goes on is an absolute fucking idiot
Yes. These little lies might seem trivial to some people. But the distance is a HUGE thing here, since the Cop was trying to connect the viscious beating in the car (well, he had a bruise, but you stick your hand in ANY car, you get shot legally) with the confrontation in the street.
In the street, it's not good when a cop sees a wounded man running and chooses deadly force as #1 and only option. Not ideal, at all. Especially on a foot chase, when he fails to radio anything in.
BUT wilson was clever enough to know that. He explained away his lack of radio call (radio must not be working, even though it was working a minute earlier. Then he tried to CONNECT the car assault with the shooting by saying he jumped out of the car, and VOILA, there was the bad guy ready to finish the job, and he looked like Godzilla and the cop felt like a little 5 year old. nevermind, the cop was 6foot 4, and the bad guy was also 6 foot 4. Only difference was, the Cop was an 8year veteran with lots of training, and Brown was a fatass just out of high school. Any 28 year old with 8 years of police training - who is 6 foot 4 and cries he was scared of another man to be point of feeling like a child--
Well, the cop is hamming it up. And he hammed up the distance too, so nobody realized he traveled half a football field on foot to shoot someone, without calling it in. that's a LONG way to go with a gun in your hand and zero ability to use your body radio to call someone you've already shot.
I don't look at the victim - he deserved life in prison for the assault to begin with. I look at the cop - and as we see, since then, there have been TWO ferguson shooting where they turned off their body cameras before the gun battle. Shady as fck.
