At the Brown family\’s request, famed forensic pathologist Michael Baden has performed an autopsy on Michael Brown\’s body.
The findings are not going to please the Professionally Oppressed set, who have turned this into a racial incident and accused Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson of killing Brown in cold blood.
According to Mr. Baden\’s findings, at least six shots hit Brown – not surprising at all, given the rapid-fire capability of the kinds of weapons police officers carry today. And, very importantly, every one of them hit him in the front – four to his arms, two to his head.
Let\’s stop here and deal with Brown\’s pal dorian johnson:
-johnson was the “friend” who initially lied to us about meeting up with Brown while he was walking home, but then had to admit he was in the store where Brown stole cigars and physically pushed the owner who tried to stop him, because it was all on the store\’s surveillance video.
-johnson also said that, during the confrontation, he hid behind a car, and watched the police officer shoot Brown in the back as he ran away. But the autopsy proves that no such thing happened.
This, it seems obvious, eliminates anything dorian johnson says from consideration. He is a proven liar, and his words therefore mean nothing.
Now let\’s talk about the fact that Baden\’s autopsy shows all four bullets which entered Brown\’s arm did so from the front.
To do this, I will ask you to please raise your hands as if in surrender, and note the position of your arms.
As you can plainly see, if Brown were shot while surrendering, the entry of those bullets would have been on the inside of his arm, not the front.
So, assuming this autopsy report is correct – keeping in mind that a) Mr. Baden is an internationally recognized expert in forensic pathology and b) the report I am working from is not from some hopelessly anti-Black site but from the New York Times – it means that the protesters/rioters/looters, claming Brown was in the process of surrendering are either lying, mistaken, or just so filled with hate for cops and/or Whites that they assume it to be true because, facts notwithstanding, it fits the narrative they prefer.
This shreds the credibility of every person carrying one of those ubiquitous “hands up I surrender” signs, and marching down the street making the hands-up gesture, as if it had anything to do with the Michael Brown incident. It didn\’t.
Early-on, I blogged that, in the absence of definitive video footage, we will never know what actually happened on that street. This still holds 100% true.
But now we know a couple of things that did not happen, don\’t we?
It would be nice if some of our wonderful “neutral” media, who have helped pour gasoline on the flames over this past week, might report as much.
