On Wednesday, Michael Harriet of The Root.com ran a shocking piece titled Everything You Think You Know about the death of Mike Brown is wrong, and the man who killed him admits it.

Provocative! Sally Cohen of CNN, she of hands-up don't-shoot fame, tweeted out the article with this caption.

We all need to read and reckon with how our media, courts, everything, believed white cops lies over black kids' truth.

All of which means that you'd think the article would actually substantiate the headline.

After all, most people think Michael Brown attacked a police officer Darren Wilson inside his vehicle

after being pulled over, then tried to grab the officer's gun, then ran when a shot

was fired in the car before turning around, charging the cop, and being shot.

That's what all the witness testimony said,

repeatedly, from black witnesses. So what did Officer Wilson say that changed everything?

According to the root.com reporting on a court documents originally obtained by Wesley Lowry of the

Washington Post, a guy who, by the way, reported in laudatory terms about the unrest in Ferguson

at the time, Wilson stated that he reached through the

window of his car and grabbed for Brown's body during the encounter. Of course, Wilson never said anything different. He always maintained Brown punched him in the face, at which point he grabbed it Brown as Brown leaned into the car. He pulled his gun. Brown attempted to grab his gun. He fired his gun and the rest of the events ensued. But here's how the route describes the events. Two men are walking down the street. A cop pulls in front of them, blocking their path. Instead of calling for backup or radioing in a traffic stop, he opens his car door and either Brown closes it or ricochets off of Brown's body. The officer then chooses to reach through his window and grab the suspect by his arm and body. Wilson had a gun and Brown is hanging inside the car.

Brown does not reach for the officer's gun and the cop admits that Brown's only weapon was his big, scary black self. The next part of the testimony will confound the conservatives who stated

that Wilson did not shoot Brown in the back. Wilson admits that after the first shot, Brown

started running away from him and he fired another shot which missed Brown. Wilson basically admits

that he fired at Brown and the bullet hit a building close by. Then the root alleges that Wilson admits to having used the N-word. Other headlines have repeated this. They neglect to mention that Wilson explicitly says he only used the N-word in order to repeat a, quote, racist remark made by someone else, but I have not made a racist remark against another individual well on duty as a police officer, unquote. Oops. But what about the rest of this narrative? It's just not true. Wilson doesn't admit any of the things the Root says he admits, as Wesley Lowry himself tweeted. Here's what Lowry tweeted. There are unanswered Ferguson questions, but a lot of assertions in this piece going viral today based on the doc I reported yesterday are wrong.

The court documents reveal none of these things.

Wilson has asked specific questions.

He's not asked others.

Can't infer entire narrative by filling in the blanks based on things he's not asked.

Wilson admits that Brown did not try to remove your gun from your holster.
