A breaking New York Times report sheds new light on Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson�s mortal encounter with local Michael Brown.

The police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., two months ago has told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled over his gun with Mr. Brown, according to government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation into the matter.

The officer, Darren Wilson, has told the authorities that during the scuffle, Mr. Brown reached for the gun. It was fired twice in the car, according to forensics tests performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The first bullet struck Mr. Brown in the arm; the second bullet missed.

The forensics tests showed Mr. Brown�s blood on the gun, as well as on the interior door panel and on Officer Wilson�s uniform. Officer Wilson told the authorities that Mr. Brown had punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck.

According to the New York Times, Wilson told authorities that he fought with Brown for possession of his service pistol, resulting in two rounds fired inside his police vehicle. One round struck Brown in the arm, and the other was wasted

Here's hoping that Officer Wilson gets enough from his suit against the city to relocate him and his to a place where decent people live.

there is no reasoning with this crowd. 400 years of oppression demand retribution.

This is beneficial for rational and fair-minded folks. The strongest of such evidence will not mean a lick to racists, haters, race profiteers and rioting thugs who use such events as drivers for ugly behavior. Yelling and pointing now will focus on any shots fired outside the car.

That thought-process is so effed up it is incredible.

I never owned any slaves, and I don't owe anyone alive today [bleep] because of what happened over 150 years ago.

God, I'm turning into Sherp...

Wilson was an atheist and when young Micheal was out spreading the word of Jesus, to convenient store clerks and Officer Wilson, Wilson took exception to that. Nobody will spread the word of Jesus in his city, let alone a black person. So with hands raised to the sky, praising his lord and savior Jesus Christ, Micheal Brown was executed in cold blood. With his dieing words he whispered to officer Wilson, God Blesses and forgives you...

I thought the same thing, thought the guy shot more than twice.

How bad was Wilson's injuries.....I forgot

I'm confused! Brown died from a shot in the arm? This ought to rattle the cages in Ferguson!

Fractured eye socket. I believe when he tried to get out of his car, the punk slammed the door on his head.

It amazes me that more has not been made of his injuries - by his attorney and family. I saw one picture of his bruised face and that was a week after the shooting. Such evidence should be exculpatory, in my opinion.

I would like to see, after the official report comes out, go arrest everyone of those so called witnesses that claimed he was shot standing there with his hands up. Throw their azz in the jail for a long, long time and send them a bill for the cost of cleaning up the riot, NG troops and other overtime LEO's.

Hopefully, he is in the clear. I doubt whether he'll ever return to law enforcement duty again, but he'll be able to rebuild his life.

The fact he was shot once while in the car doesn't mean he wasn't shot at afterwards too

It's very possible the witnesses are telling the truth too

It's not "either-or"
It can be both

It's a marathon, not a sprint. If it were me, I would STFU and let all the idiots lie over and over before they ever get to see any of the evidence that proves they are lying.

Then, if you end up in court on trial, you get to completely shred the credibility of all the people who made factually incorrect statements under oath to the grand jury.

Maybe that is why some of the "witnesses" are now trying to avoid testifying to the grand jury.....

Civil suits are pending, you betcha!

Seems the witness reports I remember, Big Mike was standing in the street with his arms up, not doing anything. I would think that if he had been shot in the arm,they wouldnt both be up, and I bet he wouldnt be standing there doing nothing.

If I was shot in the arm, it wouldnt be up in the air and I would probably be cussing and screaming about how bad it hurt.

The witness reports, from the beginning sounded like the oh too familiar, I didnt do nothin and he was such a good boy.

Not yet he isn't in the clear. Politics still has to work it all out.
