Jordan Davis - Michael Dunn Life Sentence coverage by Al Sharpton and MSNBC - Video
The Rev. Al Sharpton held a rally Saturday slamming a report that said the police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, told investigators that he feared for his life during a "scuffle" with the unarmed teenager. Officer Darren Wilson testified to a grand jury that Brown had reached for his gun while the two were involved in a struggle in Wilson's car on Aug. 9, the New York Times reported on its website Friday night. The report cited "government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation." A government official has told NBC News that forensic evidence in the case "validates that (Wilson) had reason to fear for his safety" but said the investigation is not complete and that no conclusions have yet been reached.
During the National Action Network rally in New York City, Sharpton, who is the founder of the organization and an MSNBC host, said that government officials are speaking about the evidence in "an attempt to set a climate" so that the grand jury deciding whether to charge Wilson in Brown's death has "an excuse not to proceed."
"Dan Wilson said he was in fear for his life," Sharpton said. "The only gun there was Darren Wilsons." Sharpton questioned why Wilson continued to shoot Brown after the 18-year-old got out of the vehicle and why Wilson's account doesn't line up with that of many witness accounts. The Times article raises the same points.
Brown's death has sparked more than two months of protests and rallies at times turning violent in Ferguson and St. Louis. Sharpton said he would travel to Ferguson to hold a four-day "Michael Brown weekend" from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3. The grand jury is expected to deliver a decision in the Wilson case in mid-November, a St. Louis County prosecutor's office spokesman said.

Criticism Over Officer's Account of Brown Shooting
Al Sharpton has been rather outspoken on the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson earlier this year, and today he spoke out rather skeptically against the version of events as Officer Darren Wilson reportedly recalled them.
Sharpton was in Ferguson during the protests, and repeatedly scolded rioters for trying to seek justice through unjust and criminal means. But, of course, hes also been rather critical of the police for how theyve conducted themselves.
And as Business Insiders Colin Campbell reports, Sharpton took some serious issue with how Wilson recalls what happened, based on a report last night from The New York Times. Sharpton spoke at a rally earlier today for his group National Action Network, and found a pattern in how men who have shot black teenagers defend themselves:
We were involved in Trayvon Martin. We were supportive of Jordan Davis. The strange thing is that all of them used the same excuse The only gun there was Darren Wilsons! Strange parallels with all of these cases.
Furthermore, Sharpton asked, how did the scuffle start in the first place? And why are you trying to tell me that a man ran back at you when he knew you had the gun and you already shot him?
Sharpton is planning to hold a four-day Michael Brown Weekend from October 31st to November 3rd.
