CNN Guest Denounces Ferguson Speculation: ‘Everyone Becomes an Expert’ in Crises

CNN Analyst Denounces Ferguson Speculation: ‘Everyone Becomes an Expert’ in Crises (Mediaite)

CNN contributor and lawyer Mo Ivory wrangled with CNN legal analyst Danny Cevallos on Monday morning following the Brown family’s press conference on the independent autopsyperformed on Michael Brown. Ivory lambastedDarrell Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot Brown, not only for the shooting but for reaction, causing Cevallos to caution against speculating as to others’ psychological states in extreme circumstances.

“He wasn’t even trying to come to Michael’s aid,” Ivory said. “He just shot him down and then he just stared at him. I don’t understand anybody that would see a child bleeding out of their head, or an adult, and not bend down immediately and try to stop the bleeding, or check if they’re alive, or give some aid. He just stood there and stared at him. Which to me goes to his state of mind. A complete state of, ‘Oh my god, what did I just do.’”
