Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDid I miss discussion of CNN's new source; friend of Officer Wilson?
A friend of Wilson's gave a statement on radio of Wilson's "side of the story" this morning.
It was lengthy.
And interestingly, comes just after the release of the autopsy report.
Basically, it says that Brown assaulted Wilson through the car window, that the gun accidentally fired when Brown tried to seize it, and then Wilson got out of the car to chase the boys. Wilson told this source that Brown turned and "bum rushed" Wilson and that's when he fired shots.
No last name for this source, just a woman's first name.
CNN is obtaining the audio.
CNN now has "two sides" to the event, and is working pretty hard to equivocate.
The anchor said this source's story agrees with the officer's story.
Well, we haven't HEARD the officer's story, have we? Is there an official report?

(31,879 posts)I discount it - tax payers have a right to that police report. Either that - or he can stop being such a cry baby and put his own statement out.
Right now - he looks very very guilty to a lot of people.

(54,770 posts)witness accounts, etc., are in so that this third-hand story won't conflict with any evidence.
Is there a tape of Wilson explaining things right after the shooting? That might carry some weight.

In other words, she didn't get the information from Wilson, she got then from someone Wilson told. So third hand information.

The friend that enlightened CNN makes about the umptiened source although I stopped journaling after three.
Do note the important keywords showing that the friend(s) can stick to the story.
