Hawkins said that investigators examined the black box of the truck Hash was driving and concluded it did not record any impact with any person or thing. She claimed there were also no witnesses who had confirmed that anyone was hit by the truck, explaining that her department reviewed body-worn camera footage of statements given at the scene and that the statements were given by people who said they did not actually witness the shooting.
Hawkins went on to claim that the only available eyewitness who had come forward said the exact opposite of narratives being shared about Walker being hit by Hash. She added that an initial review of Hashs truck and Walkers body showed that a windshield wiper was torn off from the truck and a metal portion was used to break the windshield in several places. Walkers body, Hawkins said, showed no injuries other than gunshot wounds.

(28,928 posts)and Hawkins said there were no witnesses. So which is it?
Snip:
Elizabeth Ricks, a nurse who said she provided aid to Walker after the shooting, told protesters on Sunday that she saw him get struck by a vehicle before the man inside shot him to death, the AP reported.
If I had to guess, he hit the black guy but not very hard. However, enough to upset the black fellow to rip off the wiper and hit his car in anger. People take out their anger when getting knocked over but I doubt he was really much of a threat to the cop. Cop probably over reacted unfortunately.
Adding this. Black boxes are not reliable:
Beware The Black Box
The automotive black box data recorder is not infallible and its data is subject to interpretation.
Now recognized by law enforcement agencies, experts and even courts as reliable sources of data relative to vehicle speed, brake application, seat-belt use, throttle position, etc., the use of this data should nonetheless be approached with caution as its reliability is far from guaranteed.

That being said, TYT tends to leave off important information pretty often. They should have mentioned there were two sides to the evidence.
