A recorded conversation between two witnesses of the Brown shooting seems to support a case of defense for the officer. It matches statements given by another person who said that Brown was the aggressor.
Of course, not all facts are in, but this is interesting. Watch the video and listen to what some bystanders were saying at the time.

This is the transcript :
#1 HowÂ’d he get from there to there?
#2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck
{crosstalk}
#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him
{crosstalk}
#2 Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –
#1. Oh, the police got his gun
#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him
{crosstalk}
#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing
#1 The Police?
#2 The Police shot him
#1 Police?
#2 The next thing I know Â… IÂ’m thinking Â… the dude started running Â… (
garbled something about “he took it from him”)
This corroborates an account of the event given by a friend of Officer Darren Wilson:
Well, then Michael takes off and gets to be about 35 feet away. And, Darren’s first protocol is to pursue. So, he stands up and yells, “Freeze!” Michael and his friend turn around. And Michael taunts him…
And then all the sudden he just started bumrushing him. He just started coming at him full speed. And, so he just started shooting. And, he just kept coming. And, so he really thinks he was on something.”
So these two guys talking over the video are speculating about what happened because, guess what, they didn't see it.
And the second item is from an anonymous woman calling into a radio show claiming third-hand information who claims to be a friend. Anyone care to corroborate that? ANd guess what, she wasn't there either.
I'm no lawyer, but neither of these accounts are worth the ink or pixels used to create them.
Why don't you geniuses wait to see what the FBI turns up before you start believing the crap on rightwing websites?
And anybody with a sense of linear space can see that Wilson shot Brown from at least 50 feet away. What a *****.
Why didn't he just shoot Brown in the leg if that was true?
