NBC’s Bloom: ‘I Find’ Accusation Mike Brown Charged Officer ‘Racially Tinged’

BLOOM: "I handle excessive force cases, I know how to do it and frankly it’s not all that complicated. What you do is you get the person who’s accused of excessive force to break this down, nano second by nano second, so that you can test if the story is true or not. Now, this issue about charging -- which I find to be a sort of racially tinged offensive word in and of itself -- but I would have asked him, what exactly does that mean? Because at one point he says Mike Brown took a step forward. Another time he says he took a hop, as he was about to run and then he began running.

So running is inconsistent with one step forward. Which is it, Mr. Wilson? I mean, you really have to get to the bottom of it. You can’t let an ambiguous word like 'charged' get out there to the grand jury without analyzing it. without cross-examining it. And that just didn't happen."
