With all due respect RTC, wasn't it Brown who started hitting the officer first?

According to Wilson's account which sounds far fetched at best....  Not saying he's lying but this sort of thing is precisely why all on duty police officers need to be equipped with body camera's.

Not really, you have at least one witness who said Brown and Wilson were physically in contact before Wilson even exited his vehicle.  You have Brown's fingerprint on the gun, as well.  So, you can't claim total bias on the part of Wilson.

I never claimed total BS, I said far fetched i.e hard to believe. They definitely had an altercation, but Wilson recalls that as he tried to leave his vehicle Brown just randomly start attacking him? How many people... sane people decide to start throwing punches at a armed police officer who simply asked them to move to the sidewalk?

Browns friend (probably the witness you're refering to) says Wilson threw his door open in such a way that it hit Brown and caused him to retaliate by slamming the door closed, at which point Wilson grabbed him through the Window by the neck/collar and thus the altercation began.

All I'm saying is its clearly a very strange altercation and eye witnesses alone are not that reliable. Body Camera's are needed.

Vox has both accounts up on their site:
