Yet Wilson described Brown as a "Hulk Hogan."
But just like that 12 YO boy who was shot while carrying a toy gun, it must have been Brown's blackness that made him so dangerous to Wilson

Why didn't Wilson put things like that in his police report the day of the shooting. Oh yeah, because there was no police report.
Instead, it sounds like he's been coached to fill in the blanks with these type statements that conjure up fear and vulnerability, but both men were the same size. He's clearly been coached. What a sham.

He easily tossed a store owner aside with a brush and a look like 'wtf you gonna do?'

I never trust Piers, sorry. He was a tool involved with a hacking scandal with Murdoch.
