Saw this on Up with Steve Kornacki this morning, doesn't seem to have been diaried.
In HuffPo, according to government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation:
Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson has told authorities that Michael Brown reached for the gun during a scuffle, the Times reported in a story posted on its website Friday night. The officer's account to authorities did not explain why he fired at Brown multiple times after emerging from his vehicle, according to the newspaper.
And further:
The Times reported that Wilson has told investigators that he was trying to leave his SUV when Brown pushed him back in and that once inside the vehicle the two began to fight. Wilson told authorities that Brown punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck, the Times reported.
If I had to speculate, I'd say they are letting stuff out in dribs and drabs to somehow try to weaken the impact when the hammer of No True Bill falls. They want people to know FIRST that Wilson claims Brown reached for his gun BEFORE they hear about the failure to indict Wilson. Just my two.
FWIW.
