Here is the text of a Facebook post by someone who says he is Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson, giving his side of the story of how the shooting of Michael Brown happened. This account most closely matches everything we have seen, read, and heard about the case so far, and we think it could be real.
my friends and family have been afraid to put out what really happened due to the severe threats.but here is the truth of what happened. as much as i can tell you at this point.
they were walking in the middle of the street. i pulled my vehicle up, rolled my window down and told them to get out of the street. they refused an yelled back cussing – saying they were already almost where they are going.
i pulled further up and over. i was watching them and at that point i got the call in that there was a strong arm robbery. the description they gave was the same as the two and they had something in their hand that looked like it could be the cigars.
i backed my car up and tried to get out of my car, but they slammed my door shut to prevent me from getting out. i started to get out again and stood up, but michael came and started to shove me back in to the car. he started punching me in the face and at that point i grabbed for my gun
michael grabbed for the gun. he got the gun entirely turned against his hip. the gun goes off after it is shoved. michael took off and got to be about 35 ft away
my first protocol is to pursue, so i yell “freeze” , michael and his friend turn around. michael taunts and yells saying “what are you gonna do about it” stuff like that. And next he started bumrushing me. he just started coming at me at full speed so i started shooting. he kept coming. i definitely think the toxicology report will show that he was not right and under the influence of something
this is my account of what happened (at least, what I can openly share at this point). much of what you will hear on Tv and radio is very inaccurate. i will be deactivating my page shortly so please copy this to share the truth. i appreciate your support – especially from my police family
CNN is trying to claim that the Wilson Facebook post is a fake, but I don’t think it is. The detailed account sounds very similar to every other police account that we’ve heard. Also, how would CNN know what Facebook account Officer Wilson opened, and what he didn’t? There is no way that CNN News Editor Ryan Sloane can say with any certainty that the post was not by the actual officer Wilson. Was CNN News Editor Ryan Sloane was paid off by someone to make such a claim? We wouldn’t put it past the lowly CNN.
