I agree with the author. There are a lot of things in Wilson's version that set off my internal bullshit detector.

We've finally heard from Officer Darren Wilson.

Wilson had been publicly silent since the events of August 9, when he shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. And, even as the grand jury announced its decision not to indict him, he remained silent. He had his attorneys release a statement on his behalf.

But on Monday night, St. Louis County prosecutor Robert McCulloch released the evidence given to the grand jury, including the interview police did with Wilson in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

I read this hours ago and it is perfectly believable for a chaotic situation caused by entitled thuggery.

When bizarreness enters your world via a social cretin, you get bizarre descriptors.

Who cares whether or not Ezra thinks the story is "unbelievable" or not? Was Ezra on the Grand Jury where he could listen to all the evidence presented? No? Then who cares?

All the evidence presented is not all of the evidence.

When people are trying to lie their way out of trouble you get some pretty bizarre stories too. I raised three kids. I've heard one or two.

What is "entitled thuggery"?

Still holding on to anything you can, even phantom evidence, so you can continue to advance your narrative. You're persistent, I'll give you that much. :rolleyes:
