[damnedifIknow]

Kevin Seltzer sat on the carpet in his Ferguson apartment on Friday replaying videos of what he witnessed after his friend Michael Brown was shot.

Seltzer, 30, lives at the Canfield Green apartments. He had seen Brown briefly before the 18-year-old left for a quick trip to the neighborhood mini-mart."

****As a video played, two white workers could be seen standing by a truck outside the apartments, gazing toward Brown’s body in the street, saying, “He had his hands up.”*****

*Seltzer eventually approached the police cordon around Brown’s body, by then draped with a white sheet.



Ferguson and St. Louis County police can be seen in his later videos. Seltzer said Ferguson police tried to stop him from filming, saying, “You better get back, or you could be next.” He said one officer had his hand on his gun."

2. No kidding

And also every witness is saying he had his hands up when shot and I've been reading accounts from the other side saying he was charging when shot. First charge in history with hands up I suppose. This just makes me so mad I have to take breaks.
