The Right to Remain Silent
Posted on August 12, 2014 by MalloyProducer 3 Comments
Protesters confront police during a rally protesting the shooting of Michael Brown, 18, by police in Ferguson, Mo. Brown died following a confrontation with police, according to St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar.Its been 3 days now since Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black teenager, was shot multiple times by a police officer and Ferguson Missouri officials have yet to name the officer in question. They cite fear for the officers safety. This is rather ironic, as the officer certainly had no regard for the safety of this young man whos only crime was walking while black. Further, police officials dont seem interested in interviewing eyewitness Dorian Johnson, the friend that victim Michael Brown was walking with that evening.
The unnamed officers account of the events that night point to a struggle over the officers weapon, which lead to the unarmed victim being shot at least three times, and once at close range. The New York Times details the officers version of events, as explained by Jon Belmar, Ferguson Chief of Police:
Just after noon on Saturday, the police said, an officer in a patrol car approached Mr. Brown and another man. As the officer began to leave his vehicle, one of the men pushed the officer back into the car and physically assaulted him, according to the police departments account.
A struggle occurred over the officers weapon, and at least one shot was fired inside the car, Chief Belmar said. The two left the car, and the officer shot Mr. Brown about 35 feet away from the vehicle, the police reported. Several shots were fired from the officers weapon.
Eyewitness accounts of the shooting differ wildly from the officers version of events. This is from ABC News:
A black teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer had his hands raised when the officer approached with his weapon drawn and fired repeatedly, according to two men who said they witnessed the shooting that sparked a night of unrest in suburban St. Louis. Investigators have refused to publicly disclose the race of the officer, who is now on administrative leave. But Phillip Walker said he was on the porch of an apartment complex overlooking the scene when he heard a shot and saw a white officer with Brown on the street.
Brown was giving up in the sense of raising his arms and being subdued, Walker told The Associated Press on Monday. The officer had his gun raised and started shooting the individual in the chest multiple times. The officer then stood over him and shot him after the victim fell wounded.
And even though the investigators have thus far refused to interview the one living person who witnessed the entire tragic event, Dorian Johnson did describe what he saw that night to several different media outlets in the last few days. This is the detailed report from MSNBC, following their discussion with Johnson:
About 20 minutes before the shooting, Johnson said he saw Brown walking down the street and decided to catch up with him. The two walked and talked. Thats when Johnson says they saw the police car rolling up to them.
The officer demanded that the two get the fk on the sidewalk, Johnson says. His exact words were get the fk on the sidewalk.
After telling the officer that they were almost at their destination, Johnsons house, the two continued walking. But as they did, Johnson says the officer slammed his brakes and threw his truck in reverse, nearly hitting them. Now, in line with the officers drivers side door, they could see the officers face. They heard him say something to the effect of, whatd you say? At the same time, Johnson says the officer attempted to thrust his door open but the door slammed into Brown and bounced closed. Johnson says the officer, with his left hand, grabbed Brown by the neck.
I could see the muscles in his forearm, Johnson said. Mike was trying to get away from being choked. Theyre not wrestling so much as his arm went from his throat to now clenched on his shirt, Johnson explained of the scene between Brown and the officer. Its like tug of war. Hes trying to pull him in. Hes pulling away, thats when I heard, Im gonna shoot you.
At that moment, Johnson says he fixed his gaze on the officer to see if he was pulling a stun gun or a real gun. Thats when he saw the muzzle of the officers gun.
I seen the barrel of the gun pointed at my friend, he said. He had it pointed at him and said Ill shoot, one more time. A second later Johnson said he heard the first shot go off. I seen the fire come out of the barrell, he said. I could see so vividly what was going on because I was so close.
Johnson says he was within arms reach of both Brown and the officer. He looked over at Brown and saw blood pooling through his shirt on the right side of the body. The whole time [the officer] was holding my friend until the gun went off, Johnson noted.
Brown and Johnson took off running together. There were three cars lined up along the side of the street. Johnson says he ducked behind the first car, whose two passengers were screaming. Crouching down a bit, he watched Brown run past. Keep running, bro!, he said Brown yelled. Then Brown yelled it a second time. Those would be the last words Johnsons friend, Big Mike, would ever say to him.
Brown made it past the third car. Then, blam! the officer took his second shot, striking Brown in the back. At that point, Johnson says Brown stopped, turned with his hands up and said I dont have a gun, stop shooting!
By that point, Johnson says the officer and Brown were face-to-face. The officer then fired several more shots. Johnson described watching Brown go from standing with his hands up to crumbling to the ground and curling into a fetal position.
After seeing my friend get gunned down, my body just ran, he said. He ran to his apartment nearby. Out of breath, shocked and afraid, Johnson says he went into the bathroom and vomited. Then he checked to make sure that he hadnt also been shot.
Five minutes later, Johnson emerged from his apartment to see his friend Mike dead and in the middle of the street. Neighbors were gathering, some shouting, some taking pictures with their cell phones.
Freeman Bosley, Johnsons attorney, told msnbc that the police have yet to interview Johnson. Bosley said that he offered the police an opportunity to speak with Johnson, but they declined.
Now you have to wonder, Truthseeker, if the officer in question did nothing wrong, and was only acting in complete self defense as (unarmed) 18-year-old Brown, for unknown purposed, attempted to wrest the officers gun from him, why wouldnt the Ferguson investigators want to interview every single eyewitness possible to clear the innocent officers good name, which they have yet to name?
