Kind of capsulizes my position on the incident. I remain unconvinced that the cop had to reengage Brown after getting injured, regardless of the severity of the injury. Me, being a chicken, I would withdraw and call in reinforcements and a medic. Brown ain't going anywhere. But this is just me.Without a doubt, the best analysis of the Ferguson event I have seen to date.
I wonder how many of you have read the comments by Chris Hernandez in the above link. I do note that no one commented on it. We would do well to emulate him and wait for the FACTS to resolve who did what to whom.
This is not a personal contest between the users of this site as to who got it right with their early "determinations". We have heard a lot of things, some perhaps true, some with no doubt have proved false.
I'll chew on each bit of new claimed information, but I also will wait until the last piece of the puzzle is in place to attempt to describe the entire picture. You could do worse.
As to the comments by Mr. Hernandez
He explicitly indicates that only the "thugs" he has commented on would lie. We all know, or should know, that that is not always the case. The truth, where ever it is, will likely never be revealed. Mr. Hernandez, sounding reasonable, only regurgitates what reasonable people already know. He could have simply said; "Well, I don't know exactly what happened, so I'll withhold "judgement" until the investigation is complete and the GJ completes their work.This might be a shock to some, but sometimes people lie to protect their friends.
I am not impressed with Mr. Hernandez, not that he was put on this earth to impress little ole me.
