Brown family: Officer Wilson's account of death crazy

Brown family: Officer Wilson
TEHRAN (FNA)- Mother of Michael Brown Lesley McSpadden said Ferguson police officer Wilson �added insult to injury�, after he said her son looked demonic during their confrontation on 9 August, which resulted in Wilson shooting Brown dead.
During an interview with NBC�s Today program, McSpadden said that Wilson�s account of the events that led to her son�s death �sound crazy�.

Wilson claims that the teenager trapped him in his car during a struggle when Brown repeatedly punched him in the face. He claims he then fired a shot at Brown, who initially ran before turning to charge at the officer as the unarmed teenager reached into his waistband � suggesting he had a gun.

�He wouldn't do anything to provoke anyone to do anything to him, and he wouldn't do anything to anybody.�

�For one, my son, he respected law enforcement,� the teenager's father Michael Brown Senior told the program. �Two, who in their right mind would rush or charge at a police officer that has his gun drawn? It sounds crazy,"

�I know my son far too well to know he wouldn't ever do anything like that,� McSpadden said.

�He didn�t do what he had to do, he did what he wanted to do,� said McSpadden, referring to allegations that her son stole cigarillos before he was killed. She said the incident could have been dealt with in a way that didn�t result in her son being shot and killed.
