It's normal for eye witnesses to have some differences and some mistakes. But to say that he was running away when he was shot is CLEARLY a lie. Why on earth should we believe anything else these lying witnesses say?

As I said, the man I listened to on the radio said it isn't clear cut that it happened the way you believe from information you have used to form your opinion. He said it really comes down to the Grand Jury, and their interpretation, because both accounts are plausible, according to his conclusions after studying the autopsy report.

Who was it that said this? I have read many news sites and I have not heard once that it the physical evidence and autopsy could go either way. It has been pretty consistent with agreeing the officers account of events and others who testified for the officer but want to remain nameless for fear of reprisals. I would be interested in reading that.

I already apologized for not being able to provide a name. I was in my car when i listened to the interview. But, I assure you, I am not making it up.

Edited to hopefully enlarge the print. I sometimes forget to use the code.

If both accounts are plausible then they Grand Jury would have to indict, right?

Oh, I wasn't inferring you were. I apologize if you took it that way, I missed you writing you couldn't remember. I will do some googling tomorrow to see what I could find. I am getting tired tonight. Goodnight ladies!

I think the officer had to jump on the roof of the car so that he wouldn't be run over...why else would he do that

This is the first time I heard about this case. I suspect there was no "outrage" in the town where this shooting ocurred because the citizens of the town and the victim's friends and family did not feel strongly enough about the perceived injustice to protest. Protests don't just spontaneoulsy happen. From the article, it was hard to tell if the shooting was justified or not. And that's probably why there was no public "outrage".
