Grand Jury Transcript: Missouri Officer Explains Why He Shot Teenager




[From article]
“I drew my gun,” Officer Darren Wilson recalled. “I said, ‘Get back or I’m going to shoot you.’ He immediately grabs my gun and says, ‘You are too much of a pu–y to shoot me.’ ”
The officer said he was sitting in his patrol car when he drew his firearm after Brown slugged him twice in the face through an open window. They proceeded to struggle over the weapon and Wilson — who is 6 feet 4 — said he was overmatched.
“When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it, I felt like a 5-year-old holding on to Hulk Hogan,” Wilson said. “That’s just how big he felt and how small I felt.”
The encounter began when Wilson, 28, witnessed two men walking down the middle of the street after they had stolen cigarillos from a convenience store.
“What the f- -k are you going to do about it?” Brown yelled at the cop as he tried to exit his car, Wilson recalled.
In his testimony, the officer recalled the fury and rage unleashed on him by Brown.
“The only way I can describe it, is it looks like a demon,” the officer said. “That’s how angry he looked.”
Wilson told grand jurors he was concerned that another punch to his face could “knock me out or worse.”
