Police Officer in Ferguson Is Said to Recount a Struggle

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.

Oh come on Colpy, we don't want facts. Move on! There's ebola and war to talk about.
We don't want irrelevant facts. And the fact is that, assuming Michael Brown did try to seize Officer Wilson's gun, when Officer Wilson shot him, he was reportedly 30 feet away, and at least far enough away that there were no powder burns. While Michael Brown was trying to seize Officer Wilson's gun (if that is indeed what happened) Officer Wilson would have had every right to shoot him. But that right expires when the threat of imminent death or serious bodily harm expires.

But don't forget to mention that Michael Brown had traces of THC in his blood and may have just stolen cigarillos and assaulted a store clerk. Because all that is relevant to whether Officer Wilson was under threat of imminent death or serious bodily harm when he shot Michael Brown.

Northern Ontario,
But if he tried to take the officer's gun from him, then the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that Brown could be a threat to the public in which case he has the right to shoot a fleeing felon....... non?

There could be video exonerating this cop and you would say it was inconclusive.

There could be video with sound of Officer Wilson standing over Michael Brown screaming racial epithets while he fired, reloaded, fired, reloaded, fired, and you'd claim it was a justified shoot.

There, now we've both misrepresented each other's position. Was it good for you?
