Nonsense. He made no such findings, not does he even have any authority to make such findings.
All he could do was what he did do - summarize (albeit in an obviously biased fashion) all the wildly divergent evidence. It's not up to him to argue why the evidence against Wilson "didn't hold water" - it's usually up to the prosecutor to make the case that the evidence against a defendant DOES hold water. The defendants then gets indicted and there is a trial - an open trial, with full cross-examination, and the jury makes a decision.
This was a secret kangaroo court that will garner the respect of no fair person.
Since all of the evidence is available it is hardly an example of a secret kangaroo court. Let's be fair with the facts as we know them....
1. Michael Brown had stolen items from the convenience store and had physically threatened the clerk when confronted. This was on film. It shows that Brown didn't mind using his size to intimidate others.
2. He punched a police officer and struggled with the officer for his gun. That is indisputable given the bruise on the cops face and the blood and GSR in the car.
3. Yes, Brown was 150 ft away from the car. Irrelevant. How far away from the cop was he? The cop clearly gave chase after Brown had assaulted him and ran away. You seem to be saying that because Brown was retreating from the police car that the cop should have let him go.....I'm thinking no...it was the cop's job to apprehend him.
4. The narrative that Brown was shot in the back was false.
5. The narrative that Brown had his hands in the air is doubtful.
6. The report shows that Brown was moving towards Wilson...based on where the first instance of blood was found and where Brown ended up....25 ft closer to Wilson.
Those are the facts as we know them....nothing else matters. The looting of liquor stores and shops was just how those who are prone to breaking the law act when they think there is an excuse.....The looters are lucky I was not in charge of the police on scene. I think deadly force is an appropriate response to arson.
