I read the autopsy and attended the public forum in North Portland. There is no way that the story the cops gave could be reconciled with the autopsy report. When asked how the story the cops gave could be consistent with the autopsy report, Shrunk and Foxworth had no answers.
The cops got together later in the day to “get their story straight”. They lied and Shrunk didn’t get an indictment only because he didn’t want to get one. That is a fact!!!
Forum, shmorum - I know two of the cops, and two people from the hood who were eyewitnesses...
Public forums - especially in a community as full of [paid] professional agitators as Portland is - are worthless or nearly so.
You simply have an axe to grind - either with police in general, or the PDX police in particular - and seem unwilling to own up to your bias and the skewed, nearly baseless conclusions which are an outgrowth of it.
Calling something a fact and wishing (out of spite or whatever) that it were so - just doesn’t cut it. You ought to know that any human being’s story of an event that occurred quickly and under duress will naturally have variances which may not seem consistent with physical evidence.
Eyewitnesses have “seen” things they were 100% certain of, (and passed polygraph tests to back up their truthfulness of what they believed)that physical evidence showed to be absolutely impossible - this has been shown repeatedly in police investigations of all sorts in innumerable departments. I know from whence I speak.
