    Yes I've read it.
    As i said, Its standard procedure to get medically assessed after being involved in a violent confrotation, especially one involving suspected head injuries.
    The article even states this "The detective said that while it is common practice to defer to any medical decision of this nature..".

    It would also be standard procedure to meet with your superiors after a discharge of a firearm. I dont see anything wrong with either.

    Whats your point.

    BUT. Wilson said that he didn't need medical assistance. Secondly, they usually defer when there are life-threatening injuries to the officer. The investigator stated that Wilson appeared to be healthy so he could have answered the investigator's questions.

    Such brutal strength that he couldn't even fracture Wilson's jaw?

    I haven't seen anyone explain why the bruise was on the opposite side of Wilson's face to the side facing the window? That makes no sense.

    i've this before and i'll say it again. read the transcript. he had bruises on BOTH sides of his face.

    It was a scuffle at close proximity. This isnt "my cousin vinny".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭Beano


    All of these missing pieces should have been presented in trial with attorneys having the ability to tear apart Wilson's testimony. It creates a lot of doubt. Did the two senior officers inform Wilson of Brown's suspected robbery? Did they coach Wilson on what to say during the investigation?

    OHFFS have you actually read anything about this at all before posting your crap? The reason he stopped brown is BECAUSE of the robbery. He was aware of the robbery. he was aware of what was robbed. He seen the item that was robbed in browns hand.

    your no stranger to condoning savagery yourself.

    Yeah funny that he doesn't see the irony in his support of Apartheid in South Africa.

    it's hard to believe which one is worse, an out of control black kid or a police officer whose story wouldn't inspire me.

    i think the differances between black and white in that part of usa is too complicated for people here to fully comprehend.

    i don't agree with the way the officer behaved or other police employees at the scene etc. it shows a level of 'lets stick together against the enemy' that stinks.

    in fairness you seem to always automatically side with the person who shoots a black person in any of these types of threads.

    As I said, head injuries. Its usually taken out of the person's hands in those circumstances. he might have appeared to be healty but the investigator and wilson himself are not medically able to make that call. Especially when he's about to give a statement - it could have jeprodised the prosecution.. if it had went that far.

    And what about the other points? I don't think you have read it because you are only talking about a small part of the article that another poster had happened to quote. Can you please read the article and respond to each of the points individually?

    I havent got the time now, maybe later.

    he was murdered. by stating the world is a better place without him you are condoning violence and in turn condoning what it is said he supposibly did. the world isn't a better place without him as people are now engineering situations to have the police come so they can attack them eventually leading to god knows what.

    he was NOT murdered you can get all the social justice warriors in the world to claim he was but you can't change the facts

    a violent scumbag attacked the police then got shot and died, hard luck

    I know how you feel. This constant disregard of the facts is more than tiresome.

    but brown assumed that he was stopped because he robbed the shop a few minutes earlier, which explains the over the top reaction from brown

    LOL I can imagine it now

    "By not bringing you right away to hospital there is an absolutely tiny chance that the prosecution could be jeopardized so we are going to do something that guarantees that the prosecution will be jeopardized"

    Great logic there pal.

    another fool who hasnt read the actual evidence

    [QUOTE-FROM THE TRANSCRIPT]
    As I approached them, I stopped a
    couple feet in front of Johnson as they are walking
    towards me, I am going towards them. And I allowed

    him to keep walking towards my window, which was



    down. As Johnson came around my driver's side

    9 mirror I said, "why don't you guys walk on the

    10 sidewalk." He kept walking, as he is walking he

    11 said, "we are almost to our destination."

    12 Do you think he used those words

    13 destination, we are almost to our destination?

    14 A Yes, ma'am. He said we are almost to our
    15 destination and he pointed this direction over my

    16 vehicle. So like in a northeasternly (sic)
    17 direction. And as he did that, he kept walking and
    18 Brown was starting to come around the mirror and as

    19 he came around the mirror I said, "well, what's

    2O wrong with the sidewalk." Brown then replied, um,
    21 it has vulgar languageBrown then replied, "**** what you have to
    24 say." And when he said that, it drew my attention

    25 totally to Brown. It was a very unusual and not expected response from a simple request. a

    When 1 start looking at Brown, first


    thing 1 notice is in his right hand, his hand is



    full of Cigarillos. And that's when it clicked for
    me because I now saw the Cigarillos, I looked in my
    mirror, 1 did a doublecheck that Johnson was wearing

    a black shirt, these are the two from the stealing.



    And they kept walking, as I said,

    9 they never once stopped, never got on the sidewalk,
    10 they stayed in the middle of the roadradio and Frank 21 is
    12 my call sign that day, 1 said Frank 21 I'm on
    13 Canfield with two, send me another car.
    14 I then placed my car in reverse and
    15 backed up and I backed up just past them and then
    16 angled my vehicle, the back of my vehicle to kind of
    17 cut them off kind to keep them somewhat contained.
    18 As I did that, I go to open the door

    19 and I say, hey, come here for a minute to Brown. As

    20 I'm opening the door he turns, faces me, looks at me
    21 and says, "what the **** are you going to do about
    22 it", and shuts my door, slammed it shut. I haven't
    23 even got it open enough to get my leg out, it was

    24 only a few inches.[/QUOTE]

    he stopped them because brown had the stolen goods in his hands and his partner matched the description of the suspects. This is not difficult stuff people. this is reading comprehension 101.

    It does not take 12 bullets to defend yourself. Unless A. You're a bad aim (though he got 12 of them in the victim, so it can't be that), B. You are blindly shooting round after round (in which case - re-****ing-think your career) or C. You really really really wanted to shoot some bullets into some guy.

    IF, as a police officer, it takes you 12 bullets to incapacitate an UNARMED civililian, then............... then....... you are going to get a whole lot of people asking a few questions. And a whole lot of people not liking the notion that 12 bullets into an unarmed man was justified and legal.

    You are aware they dont stand and pose infront of the guy shooting like a training dummy, right?

    so if he had fired one shot and hit in the head that would have been ok? You've got a 300LB guy running towards you. Counting rounds is not your first priority. and he was hit 6 times not 12.

    Another person who wont let facts get in the way of the narrative they wish was true.

    No..... They track side to side along rails & are made of cardboard.

    Everyone knows that!

    lots to see and we won't be moving on. only the gullible find this officer credible. well thankfully the rest of us have high standards and expect them, rather then blindingly following the word of an officer who's story is being unraveled by the day.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    6 bullets into Brown?
    It's not as if he was going at wilson armed and dangerous. 3 bullets. 1 bullet. How many bullets to incapacitate a man? If he was 'charging' perhaps he was falling forward.
    I'm sorry, I don't buy it.
