After 13 days, we finally have the official incident report on the shooting of Michael Brown, written in exhaustive detail by the St. Louis County Police Department after the Ferguson PD turned the investigation over to them. The document should answer all of your questions about the incident, provided that the only questions you have about the incident are "What date and time did the incident occur?" or "What was the name of the person who was shot?" or "what was the address at which this event occurred?" or, if you're really digging for details, "What was Officer Wilson's squad car number?" or "Who signed off on this document, and which supervisor reviewed it?"
Can't imagine he doesn't have a lawyer by now, can't imagine any lawyer allowing him to speak until all conceivable possibilities of legal consequences have been exhausted.
Especially with what an eyewitness told Lawrence O'Donnell last night on MSNBC.
The only problem is going to be if this case doesn't come to trial. If the Grand Jury says "nah, nothing to see here" then likely none of that stuff will come out.

I definitely do <em>not</em> want to hear Col. Jackson&#039;s poetry.
Some commenters are more equal than others.
Is it just me, or is it a bit odd that the reporting officer is the perp?
Or Sylvester Stallone&#039;s makeup man.
And if Wilson had so much as a single bruise, Ferguson PD&#039;d be plastering his busted face all over the news.
Or we could take off and nuke it from orbit. It&#039;s the only way to be sure!

Which is a possibility -- though pretty remote.
Even Joel would be hard pressed to inject any deadpan humor into this situation.
Last Friday I told my wife it was as if they <em>wanted</em> to start a race war.
The one that glorified police violence.
So is Schellman just brain-dead irony-deficient, or was this an intentional poke?
Becoming accustomed to never being questioned or challenged in any way tends to make a mind lazy and sloppy.
What they lack in accuracy, they make up for in number of shots.
Now, now, this is a grave situation you guys.
I bet the requests for tear gas and armored personel carriers were pretty wordy though.
I don&#039;t know.
