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

In protests held in Ferguson, Mo., for more than two months, some said 18-year-old Michael Brown had his hands up when he was killed by police officer Darren Wilson. Hence the clarion call: “Hands up, don’t shoot.”
But a St. Louis Post-Dispatch analysis of Brown’s official county autopsy it has obtained suggests the teenager may not have had his hands raised after all. Experts told the newspaper Brown was shot Aug. 9., at close range — and may have been reaching for Wilson’s weapon. The autopsy found material “consistent with products that are discharged from the barrel of a firearm” in a wound on Brown’s thumb. Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist in San Francisco, said this “supports the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun, if he has gunpowder particulate material in the wound.”
Melinek, who was not involved in the investigation, said the autopsy did not support those who claim Brown was attempting to flee or surrender.
quote:
She said Brown was facing Wilson when Brown took a shot to the forehead, two shots to the chest and a shot to the upper right arm. The wound to the top of Brown’s head would indicate he was falling forward or in a lunging position toward the shooter; the shot was instantly fatal. A sixth shot that hit the forearm traveled from the back of the arm to the inner arm, which means Brown’s palms could not have been facing Wilson, as some witnesses have said, Melinek said. That trajectory shows Brown probably was not taking a standard surrender position with arms above the shoulders and palms out when he was hit, she said.”
quote:
The examination “does support that there was a significant altercation at the car,” he said.
“Someone got an injury that tore off skin and left it on the car,” Graham said. “That fits with everything else that came out. There’s blood in the car, now skin on the car, that shows something happened right there.”

Boom

He was a good boy who done nothing wrong, never hurt nobody, and was about to turn his life around. .......

I am going to have to wait until all of the evidence is presented together. Witness statements and everything.

It is a shame that Brown's supporters have almost made this a "contest" to see what was true by rioting and raising hell, instead of waiting for facts.
Now it turns out the good boy wasn't so good, and Darren Wilson ain't bad with a handgun.

They don't care about the facts.

You do realize what is happening, right?
Feds are leaking the info to try to quell riots. The whole picture isn't going to favor Brown more than this info does.
We'll get piece after piece until the grand jury returns no indictment well after the first frost.
If the hands don't lift, you must acquit.

I read a theory yesterday that the final release is not going to be until the very coldest it gets in St. Louis.
And you know the reason why.

The coroner is obviously racist

Somebody is going to escalate the protests and it's going to get ugly. The protest at the Rams game Sunday was about 10 or 15 people away from being the beginning of a race war.

Even a video of the guy attacking the officer couldn't change the narrative thats already been written and chiseled in stone.
Only the officer(career over?) can be helped moving forward into the courts.
In the rush for coverage and ratings much needed perspective and patience from the media gets trampled.

well it's sad because if we adopted that system, the one group that would be absolutely f'd by it would be young black males
this is the exact same issue with the early reactions to the trayvon situation (of which i was guilty of early-condemning zimmerman. never again!)

That's a good idea...the protesters should follow it.
