What Happened in Ferguson? Eye Witnesses Tell the Truth - Video



Video;


After putting the eye witnesses stories together This is what I think Happened.

Patrolling the cop told two people of color to get off the street, the cop kept moving past The two in his patrol car as one of the two must have said something the cop could hear that was very derogatory, the cop backed up and stopped right next to the rather large black teen, pulled out his gun and tried to exit his vehicle.

The big guy now known as 17 year old Michel Brown pushed back aggressively through the window of the patrol car maybe even hitting the door with his leg getting shot in the hand or arm, at that point the cop could have been injured by the door, gun or Michel's hands.

So you’re a young Blackman who just had a cop shoot you after you have robbed a convenience store, you have robbery and assaulting a officer facing you, Oh shitt its time to run! The cop exits the car as the two run away behind cars that are now parked in the street or near the incident because the officers car is blocking the street.

Michel is 20-25 feet away from the cop as the police officer starts to shoot again, Michel has his back to the cop, he is hit in the arm, he turns around and puts his hands up, this cop is pissed, he keeps shooting, hits him two more times, Michel falls to the ground and is shot again, one bullet goes through his face comes out into his upper torso, now on his hands and knees falling flat on his face the sixth bullet goes into the top of his head killing him instantly. All of this is in a matter of minutes, shot 6 times, I think the last 5 shots would have been repeater type taking a couple seconds once he started shooting, one bullet hit a house, could have gone through his arm and kept traveling.

The Policeman was on patrol not knowing or putting the teenager together with the robbery of a few packs of a tobacco product in the area is in Question?

I don’t know if Michel Brown had a criminal record? It could be held back because he is a minor but knowing the media if he had a record it would be plastered all over the news so I think he didn’t. I don’t know why the media hates black people but watching Fox News and others you would think all blacks should be shot or killed at anyone’s convenience!

Michel Brown body was left uncovered bleeding out in the street for over 4 hours as onlookers must of been horrified. No ambulance was called by police, the cops are cruel and indignant, they would have removed a dog faster with less cruelty.

Certainly no more than are rushing to Brown's defense on overwhelmingly damning evidence. .. pipoman Aug 2014 #10
How can evidence be "lacking" yet "overwhelmingly damning"? Seems like a contradiction. nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #11

Don't you think that if Wilson's first reaction to two black teens walking down the street was to pull his gun, someone in the 67% black community would be recounting their own story of him doing just that? What with the streets of their town chock full of media people from around the world it wouldn't be hard to be heard in Ferguson right now.

After all, look at all the people rushing to Wilson's defense on rather flimsy evidence.

The evidence is too lacking to make a reasonable determination...all speculation

He lifted a couple of blunt wrappers. You equate that with robbery? SMH

..than the young man that apparently was with Michael Brown when he was gunned down that fateful day. The lawyer looks quite ungroomed and slouches in his chair, and that makes him look less than he would appear if he had been clean shaved, had his jacket closed, and been sitting up more or less straight in his chair. I'm not saying that is a major factor to the truth, but it does give him the appearance of "an ambulance chaser" that detracts from her credibility.

The friend of Michael Brown was pathetic. It didn't take long at all to realize he was lying through his teeth, which is a tragic shame. Rather than to tell the factual truth, he made it sound like Michael Brown was innocent, and on his way to church when he was needlessly gunned down. That's utter bull shit, and the right use that sort of bull shit testimony to reinforce their myth of "you can't believe anything a person of color says, because they simply lie through their teeth." He does the whole story a real disservice.

Why Wilson isn't under arrest at this point is somewhat of a mystery to me, based on her testimony, and that of her employee she was picking up. I heard her testimony earlier, and she also seemed quite reliable.

From all I've heard, I think Wilson panicked and was on an adrenaline rush. He virtually "lost his mind and went hostile" on this young man. He needs to be held accountable!

That is what is presented here.

K&R for this transparency.

Swift system of justice is what must follow.
