Headline over a long, detailed Kimberly Kindy and Sari Horwitz pice in the Washington Post:
Evidence supports officer’s account of shooting in Ferguson
Ms. Kindy and Ms. Horowitz write that the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri that led to several days of what we call, these days, “unrest”– and promises of more to come if “justice were not done – occurred pretty much as the police officer (and several fearful eyewitnesses) had described it. That:
… police officer Darren Wilson and Michael Brown fought for control of the officer’s gun, and Wilson fatally shot the unarmed teenager after he moved toward the officer as they faced off in the street, according to interviews, news accounts and the full report of the St. Louis County autopsy of Brown’s body.
So Rev. Al Sharpton and others will, of course, now call for prayers and calm.
