Darn.I don't have cable. What is saying please.

I think HLN will post this later. Sorry you don't have cable.

Darn.I don't have cable. What is saying please.

She's confronting Brown family attorney Daryl Parks with Officer Wilson's side...going easier on him tonight. Don't know why?

She did mention other media folks refused to even discuss it because they're AFRAID ...

[wondering?]

Actually I heard Dr. Baden say that all of the bullet wounds were survivable except for the head wounds, in respect to Michael Brown/

 

[Muffet]

Plus, we have seen at least two of the Brown family's attorneys making statements that strongly suggest that MB indeed did punch officer Wilson.

One was on Nancy Grace (link, quote on last thread, I will dig up if no one else has handy).

Then last night, we saw the lawyer, Parks, say to Megan Kelly (my best attempt at a transcript from my phone. The "blow" sentence is unquestionable)

Here is the video clip
http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/the-kelly-file/index.html#/v/3739124713001

Megan asks his theory on why this officer, with a good history would have opened fire on what we're told is an innocent teenager

Parks (Brown Family attorney):

"In all due fairness, at the very beginning, at the car there was a very serious situation between Michael and the officer, without question, in which there may have been blow -they had an altercation...."

He stopped at the S. Maybe it only took one punch.

I wish I could collect these attorney statements in one post, so we could just cite them whenever people say that the assault on the officer is mere speculation.

I would add that Darien said in the first (?) interview that MB had blood on him when he backed away from the car. I think that was in a transcript on USA today.

OK, I think I have a start on developing what I wanted. Lol Between autocorrect and other mobile limits, I hope it comes out well, anyway.

Any corrections or additions are welcome!

Early statements by Chief Belmar

Belmar said at a news conference on Sunday that when Wilson got out of his squad car, Brown pushed him back in, and a struggle ensued.
Belmar said the incident started when Brown physically assaulted the police officer, pushing him into the officer's vehicle.

He said there was a struggle inside the car, and at some point Brown reached for the officer's weapon. One shot was fired inside the vehicle.

Belmar says Brown physically assaulted the officer, and during a struggle between the two, Brown reached for the officer's gun. One shot was fired in the car followed by other gunshots outside of the car.

Two recent comments (on video) by Brown Family lawyers:

(Two nights ago, after release of report about Wilson's orbital fracture)

"Nancy, without question, there was some level of interaction, strong interaction, between the officer and Michael at the car. We don`t deny that,” Daryl Parks, attorney for Brown’s family said Monday night.

“I think as evidence comes out, you'll see and hear more of that. But that`s not what killed him.”

On Megyn Kelly last night:

(Megan asks his theory on why this officer, with a good history would have just opened fire on what we're told is an innocent teenager.)

Parks (Brown Family attorney) answers: "In all due fairness, at the very beginning, at the car, there was a very serious situation between Michael and the officer, without question, in which there may have been blow -they had an altercation.

And at some point, the officer's gun may have come out and a shot's fired."

(He follows by saying that's not the real issue.)

JMO Maybe people are really enjoying the sleuthing of Sean Parcells. It just seems to me that if you think that he is not credible, IGNORE him! He is not a pathologist, and Dr Baden is not parroting his speculation. Baden speaks for himself. Basically, we are not much closer to fact in terms of Baden's autopsy, because Baden did not have the clothing for starters. There are 3 autopsies. Let's see all of them.JMO

I haven't discussed him here at all. I don't think enough of him to.

Anyone watching Anderson 360? The eye witness he is talking to puts a different slant on this story.

This is driving me crazy. I don't have cable. May I please ask what they are saying?

 

[SStarr33]

Nancy is asking Parks about him seeking the truth. Do we have an eyeroll smiley?

 

[DebinGA]

Didn't Dr Baden state that all bullets hit MB from the front? MB family attorney on Nancy Grace just said everybody agrees MB was shot while running away.

IIRC Baden said all but possibly one of the shots hit MB from the front. The SL County Med. Examiner, Dr. Mary Case, said all were from the front. I don't know the correct term "on"/"from" to mean initially-struck-the-front-of-MB.

Great comment here by JS about the new shooting

https://www.facebook.com/FOX2Now

Anyone know how warm/cool the weather was in that area at the time of the incident? Noted the man was wearing a hoodie/jacket. Seems I heard he may have had some mental issues. Inappropriate clothing can be a sign. Thanks

I'm sorry but I had to crack smile of convo between O'Reilly and Bernie about YouTube and how it works..

I will say that the media in Ferguson complaining about being held back for their own safety or think earplugs are rubber bullets should maybe take a moment from whip'n up the nation into a racial war and put perspective on what it really is to sacrifice for the story!

RIP James Foley

and God Bless is family for their courage to stay as composed as possible.

On Nancy Grace? Did MB family lawyer just admit there was "an incident in the car between MB and the officer"?
I also did not hear MB family lawyer say anything about MB being shot in the back.

Respectfully, some of us have asked questions and speculated in ways that are not popular with the majority and were treated rather rudely for having a dissenting view.

I agree a discussion forum is for, well, discussion. But when only one side of a discussion is permitted, it becomes a back-slapping, high-fiving session and not discussion.

In my OPINION.

I also was curious about the uber political discussion, but then I read the suggestion to take the political talk to the basement. So, that makes things less hostile for some, and thanks!

My confusion and upset last night was mostly over not understanding how these threads work. I thought FB links, accusing victims and posting facts without links were all big time not allowed.

BUT, I almost exclusively read the Crimes Against Children threads, which are different.

When I came to participated in this thread last night, I was in total "OMG! Against the rules against the rules!" mode. I had not ever seen this kind of posting before and it caught me off guard.

I assumed the difference was because of bias, but I now think that different types of discussions have different rules. I am sorry for being this guy :scared: but I have always tried to tiptoe around what I would LOVE to say about so-called "victims" but was not allowed, and also all the Facebook links and copy and pastes.....

I am new to the "current events" TOS. So I apologize for freaking out about the comments I read. I did not mean to be a troublemaker. I was just shocked.

Welcome back

I only join in the discussion when someone quotes Parcells as expert on MB autopsy. I think everyone should be able to read the media reports about Parcells and decide for themselves if he is creditable. Parcells is not an MD.

This link is live at the moment, if you want to look at people milling around, and the noise of motors.

Where is Tim Pool? Is he on now? If so, may I have a link?

IDK if this will be valid usually it will let you click play then when they go live it pops up

I also did not hear MB family lawyer say anything about MB being shot in the back.

At the beginning, Nancy asked him about the blowout fracture and he did not deny it. She said reporters are afraid to come on the show and talk about Wilson's injuries for fear of violence against them. Parks said something like there was a very serious incident at the car.

Probably, he's saying it openly now...(the part about the strong interaction).

I keep saying it LOL

If they're admitting damning info, it's irrefutable, and IMO is probably worse than what we think.
