re: Report: Autopsy analysis shows Michael Brown may have gone for Wilson’s gun

An officer never pulls someone into the vehicle toward their person, especially a 6'4'' 300 lb man.

You don't reach for your weapon unless a serious battery or attempt to disarm is brought upon you.

So that it's clear - this isn't my theory - this is the best possible theory I can put forward from Brown's perspective. Obviously we can't sue the city if we agree that Brown rushed the officer first, shoved him back in the car forcefully, beat him about the head and shoulders and tried to disarm him - all as the first moves in a deadly chess game, now, can I?

And just because something isn't protocol, doesn't mean cops don't do it all the time - just sayin'...

Sounds like the typical defense attorney's frame of events. Highly, highly unlikely.

Except, ironically, in this case, for a criminal prosecution to advance, the prosecutor would have to forward some variant on this version to even survive. It rules out using the officer's version because that = acquittal.

And I agree - highly unlikely. But it is not contradicted by the objective evidence, which was my point - working from the evidence out, to reasonable possible timelines and sequences.
