Darren Wilson interview featured George Stephanopolous giving him softballs and lead ins (VIDEO)


Darren Wilson’s first interview was a godsend for him. The interview was a sham. There were many holes in the story that George Stephanopoulos allowed to slide by with no push back.

The interview starts with George Stephanopoulos attempting to justify Darren Wilson’s killing of Michael Brown with a softball leading interview . Wilson claimed he politely asked Michael Brown and his friend to move over from the center of the street. Does anyone believe Wilson was really polite when he approached Michael Brown? Dorian Johnson, Michael Brown’s friend said Wilson used an expletive as he shouted at them from his car.

Darren Wilson claims that punches started flying. The pictures reveal no real injuries. If as Wilson said in his grand jury testimony he believed Michael Brown could have been armed it makes no sense that he would have left his car chasing Michael Brown.

Michael Brown was a tall fat man. Darren Wilson a tall muscular man. The Hulk Hogan similarity vs Wilson as a 5yr old is ludicrous. Listen to Stephanopoulos giving Wilson’s testimony an assist by ‘reminding’ him he is figuring out how to get out of ‘this’ situation of being attacked by Brown.
Darren Wilson must have America believe that the bravado of an 18 year old Michael Brown would not be concerned about a police officer pointing a gun when he states that Brown said he was too much of a pussy to use his gun. A Black man would never tell that to an armed cop. It would be certain death by cop. Stephanopoulos just accepts this at face value.

Wilson was in the safety of his car. If he ever felt threatened he would have used his gas pedal and then called for backup. Stephanopoulos does not even probe his statement of feeling threatened.
