Unless I'm mistaken he is on record, when he talks about Brown being a demon, testifying that "he comes back toward me again with his hands up." In the interview he says Brown's hands weren't up, absolutely not -- one of them was at his side, the other reaching into his waistband. So that's one contradiction. I'm sure someone with a strong stomach will watch the whole thing and list the rest of the lies.

It's hard to keep lies straight and the more you tell a story that's based on lies, the more that story changes.

His testimony before the grand jury was at the least an exaggeration and most likely mostly made up. But then cops are trained to lie, probably just a habit for him at this point.

The only 'truth' those interviews will include are the rehearsed and regurgitated answers he gave during the grand jury statements. His coaches wouldn't allow anything else at this point. He did not turn in a police report at the time of the incident, so he had plenty of time to review witness statements and evidence before going into the grand jury.

NO interviews with that man will be watched in my home, and I sure as hell won't lose a minute's sleep over it.

That "beat up" face of his is all I wanted to see.

But, I would read transcripts, just, as another poster mentioned, to see how his interview differs from his story on the record.



But, I normally don't watch TV anyway. Watching the local news last night was hard, but I did it to compare to the live streams I was watching.

Wilson basically killed Brown in cold blood; even if HALF of the allegations made about Mike Brown's actions that day had been true(of course, the "He went for mah gunz" defense is obvious B.S., in this case, regardless), it still wouldn't have justified shooting him in the back. Fuck no. Wilson let his gung-ho attitudes get to him, and now, an 18-year-old guy who had hopes for college, has had his life snuffed out, never to return.

Perhaps he and George Zimmerman will meet someday, stand their ground and make a right with two wrongs.

And I don't intend to demonize anyone. We see the effects of perceiving demons. I want to see the person, hear his voice, decide what I believe and what I don't.

I'm sick of sensationalist TV that caters to that type of person anyhow. It's like they are all trying to outfox Faux News and be as disgusting as they can be.

In this case, as with Zimmerman, I refuse to give them one iota of my time. I won't be watching. They are killers who got away with it, because they killed black kids. That is truly disgusting. There is no excuse they can can dream up that would ever justify that.
