Officer Darren Wilson's story is unbelievable. Literally.
http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/728116...ons-story-side
I agree with the author. There are a lot of things in Wilson's version that set off my internal bullshit detector.
Quote:
We've finally heard from Officer Darren Wilson.
Wilson had been publicly silent since the events of August 9, when he shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. And, even as the grand jury announced its decision not to indict him, he remained silent. He had his attorneys release a statement on his behalf.
But on Monday night, St. Louis County prosecutor Robert McCulloch released the evidence given to the grand jury, including the interview police did with Wilson in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. And so we got to read, for the first time, Wilson's full, immediate account of his altercation with Brown.
And it is unbelievable.
I mean that in the literal sense of the term: "difficult or impossible to believe." But I want to be clear here. I'm not saying Wilson is lying. I'm not saying his testimony is false. I am saying that the events, as he describes them, are simply bizarre. His story is difficult to believe.
The story Wilson tells goes like this:

I read this hours ago and it is perfectly believable for a chaotic situation caused by entitled thuggery.
When bizarreness enters your world via a social cretin, you get bizarre descriptors.

Lawyered up, to the nth degree.
It is no coincidence that at every possible point where Wilson could insert doubt, doubt was inserted.

All the evidence presented is not all of the evidence.

When people are trying to lie their way out of trouble you get some pretty bizarre stories too. I raised three kids. I've heard one or two.

Still holding on to anything you can, even phantom evidence, so you can continue to advance your narrative. You're persistent, I'll give you that much.
