Pretty sure a lot of cops carry a supply of throw down drugs as well as a throw down gun in case they get the wrong guy. Anybody ever see a movie called An Innocent Man? Cops got the address wrong and raided Tom Selleck's house. He was walking out of the bathroom with a hair dryer in his hand that the cop thought was a gun so he shot him. When they realized they were in the wrong house the cop threw down a gun and some cocaine and Selleck went to prison.
Happened in real life not long ago, cops got a tip that a wanted felon was held up in a house. They then pulled up at the wrong house, guy hears commotion gets his gun (permits and all) walks outside and gets blasted. He didn't go to jail, he went to the cemetery
You can pretty much assume the killing of Michael Brown was nearly as horrendous, had we gotten footage of the murder. It's sad for the 75 % of cops who actually do it to protect and serve all individuals. I may be a little high with that number. There definitely is a culture of shitty power hungry human beings parading as cops these days. Sadly, had there been no video, the cop would have gotten off, no doubt.
Michael Brown brought it on himself. If he had just complied when Wilson told him not to walk down the middle of the street he would still be alive. Wilson didn't know that Brown had just pulled off a robbery so its likely he wouldn't have even gone to jail.
Sorry isistl but forensic evidence shows Brown was fighting Wilson and it isn't close to this murder. Unfortunately the 90%+ of good cops are really hurt by bastards like this one.
he explained it in his distress called, he said wound to the chest and right arm, not the back. the report he filed was even worse.
But wouldn't the autopsy show there was no wound to the chest? Or was there? I thought that was an exit wound.
yes exit i believe, but the guy was on his chest, why would the officer say that in his distress call.
No doubt he was lying and covering up. I'm just trying to think about whether or not it would have been found out through forensic evidence or if he would have gotten away with it.
