I'm reading Darren Wilson's testimony to the grand jury (p. 196 on), and it's shocking and outlandish.
So he says Mike Brown was hitting him.
With which hand?
His right.
Which hand was Brown holding the cigarillos in?
His right.
Were there any broken cigarillos in the car later?
No, and not on the ground.
In the middle of his struggle at the police car door with Wilson, Brown reaches back to his friend Johnson and says, "Hey, man, hold these."
Wilson grabbed at him and says it felt was "like he was a five-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan."
"That's how big he felt and how small I felt."
“He looked up at me and had the most aggressive face,” Wilson testified. “The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, that’s how angry he looked.”
Wilson said Brown hit him in the face after the officer determined he might be a suspect in a theft at a local convenience store, then described a struggle between the two when Brown tried to prevent him from leaving his patrol vehicle.
The officer, who described himself as being “just shy” of 6-feet-four-inches tall and weighing “210-ish” pounds, testified that he felt dwarfed by Brown.
“When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it is I felt like a 5-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan,” the testimony reads. “That’s just how big he felt and how small I felt just from grasping his arm.”
Wilson said that Brown hit him twice in the face, leading him to be afraid that a third punch “could be fatal.” Wilson testified that his gun fired twice while he was struggling with Brown over it, prompting Brown to run. But instead of obeying his command to get on the ground, Wilson said, Brown instead charged toward him.
“At this point it looked like he was almost bulking up to run through the shots,” Wilson told the jury. “Like it was making him mad that I’m shooting at him. And the face that he had was looking straight through me, like I wasn’t even there, I wasn’t even anything in his way.”
Just go look at the face of the person who had just been punched twice by a gigantic angry demon and who was afraid the third punch could be fatal.
