Heads up! More Right Wing spin going around on Michael Brown shooting
It would appear that Darren Wilson has a great number of friends who are willing to share the real details of the shooting up close and personal with any Right Wing outlet that will listen to them. Any and all! (If I hear or read this one more time today..........)
As presented on Conservatives Forum
Darren is a good man and he shot and killed Michael in self defense. After he told the young adults to get out of the street, they refused and there was a heated verbal exchange, Darren rolled ahead and pulled over and watched the two. He noticed they fit the description of two people involved in a strong armed robbery nearby that had just been called in and also looked like they may have had the stolen merchandise on them. He reversed his vehicle back to where they where to question them. When he tried to get out of his car, Michael slammed the car door back closed with his body. Upon attempting to exit his vehicle, Darren was bum rushed by Michael Brown, shoved back into the front seat of his car, punched in his face a few times and then had to fight Michael over possession of his gun. The gun was literally turned against Darren's body for a moment. During the struggle, his gun went off and then the 280 pound, 6'3" "child" took off with his friend. When the officer got out of his car and drew his gun and yelled freeze you're under arrest, Michael turned, taunting him, yelling from about 35 feet away, "what, you gonna shoot me?" and then abruptly charged the officer again. The officer unloaded on the huge YOUNG adult as he continued storming towards him until finally, he was able to stop him by shooting him in the head right when he was almost to him and his weapon. Imagine the adrenaline pumping after almost being shot in his police car and then this same large guy is sprinting at you. He thought that Michael must have been on something the way he just kept coming despite being shot many times. Hopefully, toxicology will confirm this suspicion. These are the facts-but if nothing else I beg that you at least consider these as the other side of the story. I've heard several witnesses that must keep quiet in case they are needed in court have confirmed this story and had the SAME version of events. All other "witnesses" stories have all been inconsistent with one another, some claiming he was down on his knees, others that he was running away. The truth above is the only consistent story there has been because of course, there can be only one version of the truth. I believe in my heart for it to be factually true because I know someone very well who was there. Please spread the truth. I am begging you to at least put this out as a possibility since we have ONLY heard the other's side. It explains all of the questions and it's what I was told on Sunday morning, before everyone was silenced. Please pray for Darren who was only doing his job and trying to stay alive. Or at least, please consider this as a possibility...even just a theory. I'm telling you, eventually it will all come out. This is the truth. Spread it!"

Typical RW echo chamber bullshit. Do note that although from many sources (only two pointed out here) the wording is almost exactly the same.
If I have violated any rules by mentioning another forum apologies but so be it. I am sick and tired of RW echo chamber spin. I am compleatley sick and tired that parts of this tragedy are following the exact same George Zimmerman spin.
Also sorry for the anger. I am just beginning to realize that the red tint my monitor is showing isn't it, it's me.
--------On Edit --------- 18:50 MDT
Yes folk, yet another friend of Officer Wilson has been heard from.
http://discussionist.com/101445425
Slightly different wording from another "close friend".
Just watch for the key words......
Punches him in the face
Just tracking the fairy tale. Somehow I think Officer Wilson is gonna look about as bad as Zimmerman did after he heals up some.

--------On Edit --------- 08/19/2014 To add the leaked injuries
Well, you knew some source(s) wishing to remain unnamed would leak this to...........
some RW blog(s) at the right time. We knew he was "bum-rushes" and "Punches him in the face" from a friend(s) and/or source(s) wishing to remain unnamed disclosure in another RW blog(s).
Good to know the police report bares this out.
Oh wait, what police report?
If the truth is ever stated in the police report, if there ever is a police report, it will be all but irreverent.
The truth that was sold (and gratefully bought) will already be urban legend.
Simply another example of how RW alternate reality is put together.
Expect pictures when the timing is right..

78. Locking. The Gateway Pundit is a RW blog and is at best a questionable source.
Not suitable for Latest Breaking News.
The Gateway Pundit is a RW propaganda source that Tokyo Rose would have given her eye teeth for during WW2. Just keeping tract of how the RW wing builds their narratives.

Without regard that the report of Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket given by the Gateway Pundit was proven a complete falsehood as of 09/03/3024 the RW spin machine has finaly provide pictures. Totally fake but that will not matter.

Rightwing attempting to astroturf Mike Brown Killing
I saw this post on facebook with the following comment shared by someone I know.
"This is Ferguson police officer BEFORE he shot Mike Brown. Please pass this around over and over. Think Sharpton and MSNBC will show this? That means TPC will have to start passing folks"
The comment was linked to a version of this picture.
Snip.....

2 "Outsider Witnesses" provide new perspective on Michael Brown shooting
Last edited Sat Sep 6, 2014, 03:20 PM - Edit history (1)
This is just a couple of snippets:
...there were two outsiders who happened to be working outside at the apartment complex on Aug. 9 two men from a company in Jefferson County who heard a single gunshot, looked up from their work and witnessed the shooting.

(21,925 posts)and then a lot of suspects reimagine what happened without realizing it. What matters is at trial, where character witnesses, whether favorable or unfavorable probably won't be heard from and where evidence can get challenged and expert witnesses cross-examined.
wandy
(3,539 posts)lie, cheat, and steal to get out of a murder rap.
It's an old model and worked well for Sanford Florida.
So much of the BS is the same.
Do note this is the first mention that Darren was "punched in his face a few times ".
Expect pictures long after any honest assessment of the injuries can be made.
How long was it before we saw the bruised and bloodied Zimmerman?

Hell, sometimes it's hard to get the honest truth, even if a technical spec, told the same way in more than one place.

(18,101 posts)You posted it here:

And I replied:
You replied that you suspect that it was doctored, and that you have experience in this, but you didn't follow up.
That background conversation seems to support the story on the rw sources.
I'm wondering why you didn't include that information in your op.
wandy
(3,539 posts)Their is an "anomaly" at around the 5 minute mark.
It could be anything, I repeat anything, however my gut feel was "woops messed up".
I did not originally mention the background conversation because I did not want to further confuse an already confused situation.
As to the "anomaly"...........
Darn it Pintobean, why do I think I'll be going on audio walkabout for a few hours.
cwydro
(51,308 posts)He looks very much like Wilson, the shooter...the way he kind of has a hunched over look like in his pic.
wandy
(3,539 posts)Tanj odd click but just a click. Times relative only to my environment.
We see an odd sort of audio dropout from 4:52: 90 to 4:54: 00. Odd in that it is not "silence" but has other "clicks" in the void. During this time the normal background noise was not present.
I am not a cellphone owner so I have no idea if the person recording could have come out of record and back into record in that short of time.
The overall background noise sounded and "looked" the same on each side of the void.
I could make out
"He ran."
"He ran this way"
This was a voice off screen so I have no way to tell which way this way was.
This is pure assumption on my part. He was close enough to the person holding the camera to be heard clearly and that person appeared to be down stream from the police car. Again pure assumption on my part that would be "he ran" away from the police care.
That is not even a guess. I just don't have a wide enough field of vision to have a reference.
Just a click, odd click but they all are when you "look" at 'em. Even at low quality MP3 if there were something added it should have jumped out and bit me.
I will add that even if I thought I saw something I would not have brought it back here until I had consulted with people having more experience (and better equipment) than I have. One of the reasons I did not want to get into this aspect of the video.
Pleasant walkabout none the less.

(14,062 posts)The current police report may confirm it; but I doubt anyone is going to accept an exonerating report that they held back for a week.
wandy
(3,539 posts)I think it's part of the way the game is played.
Withhold the truth. Start a narrative(s) you would want to be accepted.
When you find a story that works, run with it. (Benghazi anyone?)
After some story is accepted the truth is meaningless.
MohRokTah
(15,429 posts)The robbery report references two police reports, neither of which were written by Wilson.
There is no police report. There never has been a police report.
HooptieWagon
(17,064 posts)Wouldn't it be standard procedure for an officer involved in an event, especially a shooting, to immediately file a report while memory still fresh? I would think so. Instead, he left town in a hurry, filing no report. In the meantime, the chief and cop's "friends" are flinging various stories out there, to see what sticks. All very suspicious.
SammyWinstonJack
(44,129 posts)Jeebus, what the hell was that crap?
csziggy
(34,131 posts)ANY of the eyewitness accounts that have been out there from Day One! And all those eyewitnesses that came forward quickly have almost identical accounts. How odd.
If I were on a jury, I wouldn't believe the cop's buddy's version after hearing the several eyewitnesses that refute it completely.
wandy
(3,539 posts)Frank Luntz.
A spinner of tails they want believed.
And the fools will, because they want to.
This "true" account has already spread over much of the RW fantasy echo chamber.
MohRokTah
(15,429 posts)All of the physical evidence we currently know about directly contradict this bullshit claim.
d_r
(6,907 posts)I mean if somebody posted it on the internet and said his friend the cop said it, that's good enough for me.
how exactly did Brown manage to get the cop's gun out of its holster? or was the gun already out of its holster when the cop backed up to confront them a second time... and if so, why?
wandy
(3,539 posts)Now if we can just flush out the RW bugger that made this up maybe we can get them to explain that impossibility.
For now I'll just settle for calling Bullshit, Bullshit.

(15,429 posts)Dorian Johnson and four other eyewitnesses directly contradict this account.
I have a thread up about the facts. The physical evidence currently known that is not in dispute directly contradicts this account.

Beware, their lying again.

Most agency contracts require they cooperate with the official investigation. But anyone on the job knows you don't talk to ANYONE else because of possible civil claims and other legal issues.
For that reason alone regardless of how this went down I doubt any claims of anyone who says they have talked to the officer.

(3,539 posts)How does the RW echo chamber work? Better still, how do you defend against it? How do you counter it?
As of this morning this crap was getting good traction over in looney land.
Why?
After only a week this entire thing has been spun from here to Sunday.
Why is this fairy tail succeeding when other spin fell flat on it's face.
The Fast and Furious story (crap) is still around but generally forgotten.
The saga of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl (more crap) took off like a shot then fizzled out rather quickly.
The heartbreak of Benghazi (huge pile of crap) remains one of the Right Wings Greatest hits.
WHY?
If nothing else I'll rely on the old chestnut.
Know your enemy.
ohnoyoudidnt
(1,858 posts)what BS they are spreading. I suspect if he was shot point blank in the head, it would be clear in the autopsy. That would prove the story does not match witness accounts and is crap.
Inkfreak
(1,695 posts)That's the crazy thing. Well, one of the many crazy things about this whole deal. A stolen box will get ya slap on the wrist. So why in the hell would he attack and try to take the cops gun? From petty theft to felony in a matter of hours? These people are unreal.
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)the small clerk around? That still doesn't justify multiple shots, etc., but it could show Brown was acting strangely that day and might have pushed the policeman trying to get away. Again, that is not justification for what eyewitnesses say happened afterwards.
stranger81
(2,345 posts)Throughout this screed, the author refers to the victim -- a teenager -- as a "huge," "large" "young adult," a "280 pound, 6'3" 'child'." What's a white cop to do when he sees a scary black teenager? No option but to shoot to kill, I guess.

A way to spread propaganda Tokyo Rose could only dream of.
Tired of this working so well for the RW.
