re: #177 Charles Johnson
Even though the new testimony doesn’t contradict his earlier version, I still believe Wilson basically executed Michael Brown when he did not need to use deadly force.
Executed is slightly too strong for me, but I think this was much closer to a George Zimmerman situation, where Wilson initiated a confrontation, which he then unnecessarily exacerbated and culminated in Wilson shooting Brown repeatedly and without justification. As an example, I find it FAR more likely that Wilson pulled his gun first and that caused Brown to reach into the vehicle. The “you’re too much of a pussy to shoot me” is just way to reminiscent of Zimmerman’s testimony re: Martin’s alleged statements.
