| teigaga said: 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 officers 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. |
No, I'm referring to Witness number 10:
Interview Witness 10:
"Roughly I wanna say 8:40, I mean not 8:40, 11:40-11:40 is when that-when I first seen these two guys. And, my initial thought was, "wow, that's a big dude," Because Mr. Brown, Mike Brown, my initial thought was he's a big guy. He's tall and like stocky build and that's it. He-he, they both walked passed me. I took my tools, went into <redacted> I came back outside <redacted> to get some more stuff and I looked down the street and I seen the police car at a slant and I seen Mr. Brown in the window of the police car looked...it appeared as they were wrestling through the window and one gunshot had let off. And, Mr. Brown took off running and my first thought was like "oh my gosh" did I actually just witness a police officer being murdered because it took a while for the police officer to get out of the car and pursue the-the suspect. And, I wanna say maybe six seconds, but it seemed like it was forever after the-the-the first gunshot. So, the police officer exited the vehicle with his weapon drawn pursuing Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown was quite a distance and he stopped and when he stopped, he didn't get down on the ground or anything. He turned around and did some type of movement. I never seen him put his hands up or anything. I can't recall the movement that he did. I'm not sure if he pulled his pants up or-or whatever he did but I seen some type of movement and he started chargings towards the police officer. The police officer then returned fire, well, not returned fire, open fire on Mr. Brown. Um, if I had to guess the shots and the-the distance between him and a, Mr. Brown, it would have to be five to ten yards and the shots that were fired was four, five to six shots fired and Mr. Brown was still standing up. Um, and my thoughts was while he's missing this guy this close, is he-is he hitting him or because Mr. Brown there was no reaction from him to show that he was been hit. Um, after that. Mr. Brown then paused. He-he-he stopped running and when he stopped running the police officer stopped firing. And, then Mr. Brown continued, started again to charge towards him after that the police officer returned fire and um well not returned, I'm using wrong...a started to fire once more at him. Um, if I had to guess the rounds that were fired then it would be four to five more shots and after that Mr. Brown collapsed and fell to the ground."

Now, as for why someone would physically assault a police officer? Probably for the same reason someone would rob a store for a few cigars, and assault the clerk. Not wanting to get arrested. But, that's getting way way ahead of the evidence. The unfortunate part here is Brown wasn't arrested, and wasn't able to tell his side of the story. But, he chose not to obey the officer. That was his choice.
