‘Fox & Friends’ comforts Darren Wilson’s friend: ‘What has been the toughest part’ for him?

‘Fox & Friends’ comforts Darren Wilson’s friend: ‘What has been the toughest part’ for him?


................

“What do you want people to know about Officer Wilson?” Hasselbeck asked. “What kind of guy is he? Who is he?”

“He’s just a cop who responding to a call for a baby — an African-American baby — who was gravely ill,” Roorda insisted. “It wasn’t his area. He responded because he’s there to serve that community, and he observed a crime in progress — a suspect from a crime that had just occurred — as he was leaving there. And the rest is history now.”

In conclusion, Roorda asserted that the Brown family should be comforted by the fact that the prosecutor provided “every single piece of physical evidence, every witness, every witness statement” to the grand jury.

“And now he’s being criticized harshly for introducing all that evidence,” he opined. “Imagine the tsunami of criticism that would have followed if he had withheld even one piece of evidence.”

The police chief tainted and inserted imagery for the jury/ grand jury. Busted eye socket amongst them - repeated enough that it doesn't need to be said anymore "charging the officer" is now used. Wilson's testimony plays off this as well.

Leaks from the grand jury but not the verdict. The verdict is held from 2 pm until dark. I don't even want to go into how suspicious the first fires were and the random gunshots that kept the fire department away.

Now we have Wilson's friend with the nice "African-American baby" story.
