Read through a few of the witness interviews and some of the key evidence reports now they're public. How this became such an "issue" is beyond me. Pretty cut and dry case and its obvious why the grand jury didn't indict him.
The only witnesses that match up to the physical evidence are the officer and a few other eye-ball witnesses that saw the entire event, all of which have the same story as the officer.
- Brown closes door on the cop trying to exit vehicle, trapping him inside, begins assaulting the cop through the window
- Grabs cop's gun, struggles, gets shot once, but realizes he's fine and then continues assaulting.
- Another shot fired in car struggle, Brown flees car, cop chases with gun drawn. Guy turns around and charges cop, cop fires to defend charging assailant.
- Brown has already shown he's willing to go for the officer's gun, and is much larger than Officer Wilson. No other choice but to use lethal force. He has no taser, and mace isn't going to do a thing, and non-lethal combat isn't going to end in the officer's favor.
Based on how the situation was handled by Brown, it ended the only way it could have and he has no one to blame for his death. Who the F attacks a cop, grabs his gun, and expects for it to end well?
