Cop feared for life in Michael Brown shooting

[Jazzy]

The police officer who fatally shot an unarmed 18-year-old in a St. Louis suburb last summer has told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as they struggled over his gun, The New York Times reported.

The Times reported that Wilson has told investigators that he was trying to leave his SUV when Brown pushed him back in and that once inside the vehicle the two began to fight. Wilson told authorities that Brown punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck, the Times reported.

The officer's account to authorities did not explain why he fired at Brown multiple times after emerging from his vehicle, according to the newspaper.

how many times does the story have to change when it gets accepted? or maybe perhaps, for them hopefully at least, be forgotten and/or ignored? like anything else...

That's what I was thinking...unfortunately, in this day & age, the cops are always right and the citizenry are always wrong...
