WaPo: Wilson Violated Protocols
Wilson left the scene of the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown, the officer returned to the police station unescorted, washed blood off his hands and placed his recently fired pistol into an evidence bag himself.
Those actions, described in grand jury testimony, violated protocols for handling a crime scene and securing evidence, according to experts in policing procedures and Justice Department documents.
Wilson’s movements after the shooting were among a number of police actions in the aftermath of Brown’s death that experts said were unusual. The grand jury transcripts revealed, for example, that the officers who interviewed Wilson immediately after the shooting did not tape the conversations. The transcripts also showed that an investigator from the medical examiner’s office opted not to take measurements at the crime scene and arrived there believing that what happened between Brown and Wilson was “self-explanatory.’’
Click here for reuse options!A shooting suspect — even a police officer — must be cordoned off in a controlled area and stripped of his clothing, his weapon secured by investigators, and must be escorted by officers if he leaves.
“An officer driving himself back? Wrong. An officer booking his own gun into evidence? Wrong,” said David Klinger, an expert on police shootings with the University of Missouri at St. Louis who is also a former police officer. “The appropriate investigative procedures were not followed.’’

You right wing racists don’t deserve to be called Americans.

Just keep blaming the victim. Fear mongering among you racist pukes works like that.
Republicans_are_Evil November 27th, 2014 at 17:36
Wow, you are going to be banned fast.

He was on his way to college, you ignorant, racist puke.

I predict you will be banned within the hour if you keep up this dehumanizing hate speech.

Done now!

I should have predicted it within a shorter period of time.

Pure racism.

You’re done here, you ignorant fuck. Go back to whichever white racist site you usually troll.

No wonder the murderer never filed an incident report as required by law. Klansman Wilson’s only injury is a mosquito bite!

I thought it looked like he was bitch slapped by his girl friend when she found out the father of the child she is carrying killed someone without reason.
Republicans_are_Evil November 27th, 2014 at 17:38
I was reminded of the injuries George Zimmerman had. Self inflicted in the case of this cop too?
mea_mark November 27th, 2014 at 17:46
Or intentionally inflicted by someone else to make it look like there was a struggle when there really wasn’t. That’s why it looks like he was bitch slapped, that was all anybody would do to him to make him look like he was in a fight.

It is becoming apparent every police officer needs to have a chest cam that they do not have the ability to turn off.

Actually they should have two. No excuses about it’s broke or the battery died.

Edit to add: He did leave the scene and wasn’t supposed to. Was that to see his girlfriend who also works on the force? Is that where the injury really came from? If you want to throw some doubt into the events that are supposed to have happened …

It lays bare the mechanism used and the people who did it. It gives us a road map on how to fix this and what to monitor more closely. That’s something.

That all sounds good, but I have seen this movie before, I know how it ends. Everyone talks change, but talk is all that will happen. This is America, the police will always will have the right to freely murder black people without fear of consequences.

I fear you’re right. I hope you’re wrong. If my country is going down as a Racist Fascist Police State – and every indication is that were pretty much there already – then I’m gonna be a real nuisance.

Wow!! Lots of deleted comments. Someone was obviously full of hate/anger or whatever.
The actions of the Grand Jury were a joke – or should I say how they were manipulated. The true story of this will eventually come out and Darren Wilson will be proven to have – how shall we say it – overreacted? This young man should not have been killed.
My sincere best wishes to his family.
I am assuming Wilson realizes he will never have a “normal” life. He will be marked forever.

I see no signs of an eye injury. In fact I don’t see any injury that warranted DW to shoot MB down like a dog. No justice in this grand jury mockery…

Considering he said that
brown hit him 10 times in his testimony then 2 times in his interview. Which is it?

So we pretty much know what happened in the Michael Brown incident. Brown fought with Officer Wilson and tried to escape. WIlson shot him from a considerable distance and then lied under oath. Then the DA covered up the killing and refused to prosecute. Three wrongs still don’t make a right.

it obviously doesn’t matter how crime scenes are handled in ferguson mo. Not even fox news ex detectives,lawyers and judges picked up on this.
Remind me again why fox news is #1 in the ratings ?
