the orbital socket punch has already been debunked. soooo, yes, it would be dagga.
By who? And with what evidence?
By using your brain. The leak said he was beaten near unconscious but he managed to get out of the car and land 6 shots on Brown? Also, did you see the footage of the incident afterwards? Wilson was walking around fine. No ambulance for him was called - he went there afterwards.
Finally the only people reporting this are a right wing blog known for making stories up and Fox News. Not exactly the most reliable of sources.
My brain tells me there are 2 major stories thus far...
Story 1) Simple and uncomplicated. Brown and Johnson were walking in the street and blocking traffic when told by Cop to move onto the sidewalk. Brown argued with cop, a scuffle ensued. Cop pulled out his gun and shot him six times, leaving Brown dead in the street. A white cop, fluffed with by a black kid, flips his fluff and empties his gun. Case Closed.
It does not end there though....
Story 2) When Wilson (Cop) pulled up he told them to get off the street. Brown didn't just give him fluff, he actually was fighting with him while the cop was in the car still. (punching him in the face) Brown went for the cops gun as he leaned into the car and it went off on accident. This caused the boys to back up and as Brown backed away, Wilson pointed his gun and told him to freeze. Brown did and then taunted him with "What are gonna do shoot me?" after yelling at each other, brown started charging. Wilson then shot Brown six times, the last 2 shots entering the skull. Pretty plausible right?
Browns friend, Dorian Johnson, said the first shot was while the cop was holding Brown inside the car and the next was when we was running away, yet the initial autopsy stated he was shot in the front with no shots to the back, and the 2nd autopsy didn't dispute that but left it open to potentially arms raised in one of the shots, all others were to the front. So he couldn't have been running away, as Johnson claims. Furthermore, if he did get shot while the police officer was holding him inside the car, as Johnson claims, he would have gunpowder residue around the bullet holes, again, there was none according to both autopsies. Add to this claim that Dorian Johnson has filed false police reports on the past. This story suddenly has holes in it. (no pun intended)
At this point there is not enough information to 100% confirm or deny either story but with the evidence that we do have, it seems to me that the officer, while going too far with it, was not the aggressor in this case and was protecting himself when the shots were fired.
We will not know for certain until the conclusion of the autopsy and that will take weeks.
What we do know though, is that of all people, Eric Holder should not be the one coming out and saying stupid fluff like
"I can remember being stopped on the New Jersey turnpike on two occasions and accused of speeding. Pulled over... 'Let me search your car'... Go through the trunk of my car, look under the seats and all this kind of stuff. I remember how humiliating that was and how angry I was and the impact it had on me,"
and "The world is watching because the issues raised by the shooting of Michael Brown predate this incident. This is something that has a history to it, and the history simmers beneath the surface in more communities than just Ferguson."
and “I am the attorney general of the United States, but I am also a black man.”
Those statements all tell us that he has already decided in his mind what happened. That Wilson is guilty. As the highest level attorney in the United States, you would expect him to be a little more impartial with cases like this. He has no reason to invoke race into this as there is no evidence of race being a factor at all, he did so with Trayvon Martin and he was wrong there, and he is doing so here with Michael Brown and from the looks of it, he is wrong here too.
