The woman in question is NOT a witness but, instead, a family friend who had been told the cop's side of the story

See if you can get a link on that - I'm not finding one.

Yeah, if it's a family friend telling the cops story it's not worth much.


in general the only thing that has more liars than a message board is radio call in shows.

Other than a conversation overheard in video clip of the immediate aftermath of the shooting, no. And I doubt anyone in the neighborhood is going to corroborate his story. This is going to come down to forensics alone.

No ... that just won't be acceptable.

1) Ruins the narrative.

2) Drugs are harmless. Should be legalized. Many of here will back this up. Just ask them.



Find some other reason(s).

This is from Friday, IIRC.

Yes, and this was just another shitty move by CNN... they treated it today as "breaking news" even when we've been discussing it HERE for days.

So basically it's just the cops side of the story then

Officer Wilson will surely be exonerated. Eric Holder is not the dishonest racist people on this board fancy him to be.

You were on the Zimmerman side of the Trayvon Martin case, no?

I wish I could be so confident that Holder won't still bring suit for civil liberties violations, against either the police officer -- or the department or city -- no matter the criminal aspect of this case.

You mean like he DIDN'T do in the Trayvon Martin case?

I always go where the evidence takes me. It's why I'm not a Christian, for example.

seems unnecessary for him to order a 3RD autopsy

That was very interesting. They kept claiming that a civil rights suit would be brought (even though they knew there wasn't one) for weeks after the trial was over and strategically waited until everything died down so their abandonment of the suit was under the radar.

Pretty sure it is the Laura Ingraham Show. The only link I had was a code for Youtube, which allowed me to bring it up on my phone and transcribe it.

They said that they had pre-vetted the caller before having her on the air and everything she'd said had checked out, so it wasn't just a random crank calling up to say Howard Stern's arse shot down that jet in the Ukraine.

Only reason to get it done is to try and find ANYTHING to push forward the narrative they want.


The Brown family hired the fricking guy who did the autopsies of JFK and RFK, IIRC, and his findings were consistent with the officer's story that Brown rushed him and that the forehead shot was the kill shot.

My question is, wouldn't at least part of this encounter be filmed by the officer's dash cam? Or do those things have to be turned on? Genuine question.
