Michael Brown taunted cop Wilson before he was shot – grand jury evidence reveals

In testimony before the grand jury on September 16, police officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed black teen Michael Brown, described the moment he gunned down the 18-year-old – minutes after the ‘aggressive’ teenager taunted him by saying: ‘You’re too much of a f****** p***y to shoot me’.

Wilson said he felt overpowered by Brown, who weighed 289 lbs (131.1kg) and stood at 6ft 5. Wilson, by comparison, is 210 lbs (95.3kg) and 6ft 4.

He said: “When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it is I felt like a five-year-old holding Hulk Hogan”.
