Except that was happened, and people in the video testified that weed was being traded in and out of that store all the time. It was well known in the neighborhood. Why do you think Apu didn't call the cops after he was pushed into the rack? He didn't want them asking questions about what his relatives were doing.
I'm suggesting that if you can't be a decent human being, at least be a practical one.
Barefoot, wounded, with his hands up.. But, yes, all those witnesses were lying and Darren Wilson was telling the truth except for the times he wasn't.

So Brown is punching inside the car. Wilson is scrambling to deflect the blows, to protect his face, to regain control of the situation. And then Brown stops, turns to his left, says to his friend, "Here, hold these,"
and hands him the cigarillos stolen from Ferguson Market. Then he turns back to Wilson and, with his left hand now freed from holding the contraband goods, throws a haymaker at Wilson.
Every bullshit detector in me went off when I read that passage. Which doesn't mean that it didn't happen exactly the way Wilson describes. But it is, again, hard to imagine. Brown, an 18-year-old kid holding stolen goods, decides to attack a cop and, while attacking him, stops, hands his stolen goods to his friend, and then returns to the beatdown. It reads less like something a human would do and more like a moment meant to connect Brown to the robbery.
He admitted in a hearing that he did.
These new statements are part of a civil lawsuit that Michael Brown's family has filed against Wilson, the City of Ferguson and the St. Louis County Police Department.
