RE: Wilson's injuries.
I'll note ahead of time that I'm not an expert on police investigations or grand juries. So if my questions are transparently stupid, I apologize. But I really don't understand why we're having to speculate the extent to which Wilson did or didn't sustain injury. It was claimed that he had to be treated at a hospital. Therefore, there should be solid documentation in regards to the extent of his injuries. If we're gonna be playing the waiting game for a while as evidence is presented to the grand jury, I think it might go a long way towards explaining why this is going to be such a long, drawn out process to present whatever evidence there is -- or at least make it clear that the evidence exists -- that makes this case not clear cut.
And I say this not to argue that there's credibility to Wilson's side of the story (or I guess we should say what we're hearing is Wilson's side of the story). But I feel like a lot of the unrest is just because the early story that broke was that an unarmed kid was shot to death with multiple eyewitnesses claiming that he was shot after surrendering. Working off of that, it's almost impossible to understand why Wilson wasn't arrested immediately. Instead of releasing a video of Brown stealing cigars that reeks of irrelevant character assassination, I feel like it would be more productive to explain in specific or non-specific terms what the evidence is that supports Wilson so as to understand why this process could take so long.
