This typed dialogue of Officer Darren Wilson’s full grand jury testimony was taken place on August 9th, 2014. In this questioning, the Officer stated his story of the encounter with Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson. Wilson received a call for a sick baby during his 6:30AM to 6:30PM shift. Arriving at Canfield Green Apartments, where the fevered baby was located, an ambulance came at around the same time. On the radio, Officer Wilson heard a call being made regarding a stealing in process.
After leaving the apartments, Wilson headed west on Canfield Drive, where he first encounters two males walking in the middle of the road. After analyzing the two boys, Wilson identified them as the two culprits of the robbery due to the box of cigarettes in one of their hands he saw as they passed his car window
Officer Wilson backed up his car to block the path of the two males and attempted to open his door twice but was shut both times by Brown, the larger individual. After blocking the Officer’s door the second time, Brown also attempted to enter the automobile and punch the officer.
Brown hit the officer physically multiple times, resulting in swelling of the cheeks, bruising, and scratches on the neck. After the injuries to the face, Officer Wilson grabbed his gun, but struggled when Brown reached for it as well and aimed it towards the officer’s hip. With the gun’s point pinned to his leg, the officer had to move quickly away. When he pulled the trigger twice, nothing happened. On the third pull, it fired, breaking the glass. As the battle progressed, Brown became more angry than before.
When Brown began to run away, Officer Wilson ran out of his car to chase after him. Brown then reached his hand under his shirt, which rose all the officer’s attention to his hand movements. With a tunnel-vision following the hand, the officer shot again.
After Brown was on the floor, Wilson called for more officers again, and later an ambulance.
