Wait. The police officer in Ferguson who shot Brown? That police office had a blow-out fractured eye socket?
It appears to be true. I've begun to think this will never see a grand jury. Then the riots will really get catastrophic...
Alrighty then. Big man hits a cop and fractures his skull. Cop puts him down.
That's not really how it works. We, the staff, wrestle with that issue all the time. We generally know things the public doesn't. The problem is that, when you know something limited people know, if you let it out, you lose that source forever, so you're forced to maintain confidentiality. I think this female reporter is in exactly that position. It'll all come out eventually...
From the interviews which have leaked out, Brown kept on coming, despite being hit several times. At that point, he'd already caved in the officer's eye socket. I'm sure the officer kept on shooting and the final shot probably hit as Brown was going down. The officer couldn't have duplicated that, even if Brown were prone on the ground. There's a lot of evidence yet to come out. I've reached my private conclusion that Brown was most likely in an altered state. It explains the behavior in the convenience store and it explains why he wouldn't go down despite being shot multiple times. Personally, I think just getting hit with just one bullet, of any caliber, would pretty much ruin my day...
All I've heard is some level of THC in his blood, but that can hang around for a long time. His behavior would be much more consistent with PCP or any of the family of "uppers."
