Group C Summary Post.

This is officer Darren Wilson’s entire script/transcript of the grand jury testimony posted on The Washington Post website. Darren Wilson basically explained where and what he did for another case before he heard the Michael Brown call on his radio. The call was not exactly towards Darren Wilson, but the call described what the suspect looked like and that is how Darren Wilson knew that Michael Brown was that suspect when they encountered each other. Darren Wilson then went into detail on how Michael Brown assaulted him in his car. Darren Wilson was scared to the point where he thought Michael Brown was going to kill him with his own gun, but in the end, Michael Brown ended up being shot dead.
How Darren Wilson described Michael Brown’s expression when Wilson shot the car door glass was really unsettling. His exact words were, “he looked up at me and had the most aggressive face. The only way I could describe it, it looked like a demon, that’s how angry he looked”(pg 124-125). The fact that he compared a young black man’s expression to a demon really showed the type of person Darren Wilson is. Also, it didn’t bother anyone that Darren Wilson did not carry a taser only because it was uncomfortable. Anyway, Darren Wilson comparing Michael Brown to a demon made Michael Brown seem monstrous to the courtroom rather than just an aggressive adolescent. There was no need for that comparison, he pretty much played the “pity me” card and it worked.
