Exceptionally compelling is the finding of "soot" in the wound on Brown's thumb which the ME determined was indicative of the gun that fired the bullet causing the wound having been placed 6 to 9 inches away. How do you struggle for a gun with your thumb 6 to 9 inches away? Brown's DNA was found on Wilson's weapon and on the inside panel of the car door. Well, yeah. He was shot in the car. His DNA is going to be a lot of places. Yes, some of the eye witnesses say that Brown was assaulting Wilson. Some say he wasn't, but trying to escape Wilson's clutches. Anyone can put together a story that exonerates their self if given enough time and enough information. I find the story that Wilson tells to be incredible and it plays on too many racial stereotypes for me to take it on face value.

Inode, It was pretty damned conclusive. Exceptionally compelling is the finding of "soot" in the wound on Brown's thumb which the ME determined was indicative of the gun that fired the bullet causing the wound having been placed 6 to 9 inches away. Forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but do you see why that video in the convenience store is so important? Even the autopsy results doesn't technically prove that Michael Brown was in the middle of attacking Officer Wilson. All it proved is that Brown was close to the officer when the gun went off. That video was crucial in establishing credibility. Officer Wilson was responding to a report of a robbery. Michael Brown was recorded actually committing that robbery. Hence it's plausible that Brown could have assaulted the police officer. Without that video, the only objective evidence would be from the autopsy, and all it would prove is that (a) Brown was close to the officer when he was shot, and (b) Brown was not shot in the back. But then the claim could still be made that Brown was unjustly shot, just not in the back, and not from a distance. Now the left has to awkwardly claim that the robbery "doesn't matter," and that no one should die just for robbing a store. But they can no longer argue that Michael Brown was a "gentle giant," except to those still gullible to believe anything for the sake of the race card. Tenchusatsu
