October 4, 201412 yr Here's what is not in dispute. Chief said the entire incident took place within 35 feet of the car and shell casings were recovered. Pictures show it to not be close to 35 feet from the car. Implication of the chief is the casings were also within 35 feet of the car. Doesn't compute. If the casings were NOT in that 35 feet range then he's not correct on the distance and you wonder why that would be. If it was within 35 feet yet pictures show it's 100 feet then that's an issue that would need to be addressed. Agreed? How can you or the clearly biased writer of the article confirm their measurements?
October 4, 201412 yr Author How can you or the biased writer of the article confirm their measurements? I can't confirm that they are 108 feet. I can confirm they're not 35. Why? Visually and I've checked other sites as well including a "conservative" website that had the same measurements. Why would a writer of any leaning put pictures out there and then intentionally misrepresent the distance when any schmo can disprove it?
October 4, 201412 yr I get that but in this report, with the exception of location of casings, everything is pretty straight forward in laying out facts and history.But aren't the location of the casings a pretty big missing piece of the puzzle? Ask yourself why that wasn't mentioned in the article.

October 4, 201412 yr Why would a police officer lie about the distance when any schmo could disprove it? It's pretty clear the writer of this has an agenda. I wouldn't doubt that in the least. The Daily Kos is a joke, they always have an agenda.
October 4, 201412 yr Author But aren't the location of the casings a pretty big missing piece of the puzzle? Ask yourself why that wasn't mentioned in the article. I think so and it's fair to ask. However, as I said earlier the answer is somewhat irrelevant to the point that many in the neighborhood believe the police are lying. So if the casings were by the car or the casings were close to Brown there's some explaining to do on behalf of the presented stories.

October 4, 201412 yr Author From a site called "Conservative Treehouse:" conservalicious says: August 29, 2014 at 3:34 am I’m sure this has been asked before but I can’t find the answer… I have heard that the distance between Brown and Officer Wilson was about 35 feet. The distance shown on this map between the police truck and Brown is a lot further than 35 feet. Does this mean that Officer Wilson ran away from the truck in pursuit of Brown? I am just trying to get a feel for where Officer Wilson was when he fired the shots. Like Reply sundance says: August 29, 2014 at 4:04 am It’s a great question. The distance from Wilson’s vehicle to Mike Brown’s body is around 100′. How close Wilson and Brown were at the end is and unknown variable.
October 4, 201412 yr So look at the pictures and tell me where he's wrong. I watched the video. He says, "the entire scene from the car door to the shooting is approximately 35 feet". Sounds, at least to me, like he is talking about where the car is to where Officer Wilson fired his weapon. He didn't say 'the entire scene from the car door to the body is 35 feet".
October 4, 201412 yr Debating anything that appears in the Daily Kos is a colossal waste of time. It is not a credible news source, it has never been a credible news sourcce, and it will never be a credible news source. Undoubtedly, even far, far left wing bloggers occasionally stumble upon the truth, but so does a Magic 8 ball.

Sounds, at least to me, like he is talking about where the car is to where Officer Wilson fired his weapon. He didn't say 'the entire scene from the car door to the body is 35 feet". Listen to the entire interview. When questioned later by a reporter the chief said "the ENTIRE scene is 35 feet."

As to what many in the neighborhood believe, lets face it, they've already shown they hate cops.

October 4, 201412 yr Red herring.Posting a link to the Daily Kos is a red herring. There is nothing wrong in waiting for the facts of a case to emerge.
