Running gun violence thread

C'mon, that was AFTER Brown caved in his face in the patrol car and BEFORE Brown turned around and charged him LIKE A BULL.

 

I don't think they have ever actually released that information. It came from sources on reporter tweets, and from the girl from the Ferris Bueller movie who called the radio show.

The post-shooting video from a neighbor is believed to show Wilson pacing over the body and talking to another cop. I must say, that is one remarkably tough and composed individual to suffer an "orbital blowout fracture" and just be walking around out there without ever sitting down or appearing to touch or cover the eye. And the other cop seemed fairly unconcerned about this injury as well.

Zimmerman's injuries were greatly exaggerated as well in the earliest reports. But we should have no problem determining the truth of this one by just looking at the medical report from the day of the shooting.

 

Leadership.

 

Where is King getting this? It's impossible to Google stuff like that, there's just too much out there with similar words.

 

Apparently Big Mike is a really good backward runner. The autopsy showed the entry wounds to be in the front of Big Mike.

 

I think the idea is he was fleeing, shots were fired that didn't connect, he turned around, and that's when he was shot six times while he did or did not charge at the officer.

 

Sloganeering.

 

He cites this NYTimes article: http://nyti.ms/1AyHgsL (Spoiler: the cops do not admit this in the article) and "inside sources".

I'm calling bullshit.

Maybe he did fire as Brown ran away, but King is throwing it out there based on witnesses statements, not anything he got from a police admission.

 

L.O.L.

Ninety percent of what you have posted is based on reports from sources who aren't even actual witnesses yet.

 

I know. And I question everything I've heard so far.

I certainly don't have inside sources, and I don't think King does either.

Do you see anyone else backing what he is reporting?

And, look at his twitter feed, why does he fall back on the Times article, and the same witnesses we've heard about previously, if the cops have "admitted" this?

Also, when you write what he did, that the cops have "admitted" something, and put it out there to bounce around on twitter, you don't then say it's based on inside sources. If the cops admitted it, they admitted it. That was his intent. He wanted folks to think the cops had put out some public statement, and knew that the truth would never catch up with his lie.

King is an activist, not a reporter. If you're not taking what he says with a grain of salt, you're not doing it right.

 

At this point, King's Tweet merits no credibility.
