True or not, the eye witnesses made crap up and the cop is innocent. They all said contradicting stories, all the different black witnesses. The only one that's checked out is the white cops side of the story. Dunno about how the ensuing chaos was handled, not going to Pretend I followed or care. You have to admit they have a tough job dealing with the chimpouts.
The accounts of the black witnesses mean less because they are proven liars.
================================================== =================
“I could see so vividly what was going on because I was so close,” said Johnson, who said he was within arm’s reach of both Brown and the officer when the first of several shots was fired at the teen. Johnson says he feared for his life as he watched the officer squeezing off shot after shot.
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. That’s when Johnson says they saw the police car rolling up to them.
The officer demanded that the two “get the f—k on the sidewalk,” Johnson says. “His exact words were get the f—k on the sidewalk.”
After telling the officer that they were almost at their destination, Johnson’s 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 officer’s driver’s side door, they could see the officer’s face. They heard him say something to the effect of, “what’d 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.”
“They’re 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. “It’s like tug of war. He’s trying to pull him in. He’s pulling away, that’s when I heard, ‘I’m 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. That’s when he saw the muzzle of the officer’s gun.
“I seen the barrel of the gun pointed at my friend,” he said. “He had it pointed at him and said ‘I’ll 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 arm’s 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 Johnson’s 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 don’t 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.
Freeman Bosley, Johnson’s 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.
“They didn’t even want to talk to him,” said Bosley, a former mayor of St. Louis. “They don’t want the facts. What they want is to justify what happened … what they are trying to do now is justify what happened instead of trying to point out the wrong. Something is wrong here and that’s what it is.”
Authorities say Michael Brown’s blood found on gun, inside police car
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/authorities-say-michael-browns-blood-found-on-gun-inside-police-car/2014/10/18/577e1a9a-56f2-11e4-ba4b-f6333e2c0453_story.html
Forensic evidence shows Michael Brown’s blood on the gun, on the uniform and inside the car of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, law enforcement officials said, information they believe potentially corroborates the officer’s story that the unarmed 18-year-old tried to take his gun.
The evidence will make it harder for the Justice Department to prosecute Wilson on federal charges that he violated Brown’s civil rights, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
Such evidence would also make it difficult for a county grand jury to indict Wilson on state charges, such as murder or manslaughter, said county sources who also are prohibited from talking on the record about the pending case.
St. Louis Area Police Officers Harassing Ferguson Protesters At Places Of Employment
A St. Louis police officer is under investigation after calling the a real estate broker’s office to discuss the broker’s involvement in protests surrounding the shootings of Michael Brown and VonDerrit Myers, Jr. The officer in question, Keith Novara, called to complain about the actions of Leigh Maibes, who is known as ‘Short Stack’ on Twitter and has been protesting in Ferguson since Brown was shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on August 9th. Recently, protests moved to the Shaw neighborhood in south St. Louis after the shooting death of Myers. Also, a number of protests and ‘actions’ took place in multiple areas of St. Louis during Ferguson October’s Weekend of Resistance
Earlier this week, Novara called RE/Max, the real estate brokerage firm where Maibes works. Pr Novara, he just wanted to let Maibes’ employer know the activities she’s been up to, especially as he feels that she, and other protesters, are engaging in “corrosive behavior.” Maibes called the police officer on Wednesday to discuss why he called her employer.

and you right-winger DEFEND TO DEATH these asshole, racist, murderous cops
the "authorities" will tell any lie to defend their cops. There are absolutely no other ways Brown's blood got around? and what other "authorities" have found the same "evidence"?
The Brown's friend said the cop opened his door against them, and grabbed Brown through the window. Believable? no, a black man said it.
boutons you ignorant . The evidence to date certainly supports the cop's version of the events that led to Brown's death. I am not a fan of the way most cops perform their duties, but I see no reason to accuse this guy of murder.
you naive off, your beloved "evidence" is coming from, is provided "explanation" by the "authorities" who have EVERY reason to defend their cops.
You realize the Feds are investigating this as well and would like nothing more than to be able to say to the idiots of Furgeson that Wilson is guilty, unfortunately for them and Holder it appears Wilson's account is the truth.
Brown's friend lied about being with Brown, lied about his iden y, and lied about Brown being shot in the back. He's also been arrested before for lying to police. GFY boutons.The Brown's friend said the cop opened his door against them, and grabbed Brown through the window. Believable? no, a black man said it.
Official autopsy shows Michael Brown had close-range wound to his hand
http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/c...7df75fef6.html
it “does support that there was a significant altercation at the car.”
Melinek also said the autopsy did not support witnesses who have claimed Brown was shot while running away from Wilson, or with his hands up.
if the ing murderous, racist cop hadn't been cruising a black neighborhood to fulfill his "fry a [email protected]" quota, Brown would be alive.

If Michael Brown hadn't just committed strong arm robbery he wouldn't have been in such a mind state that when confronted by an officer and asked to move out of the street he freaked out and decided to assault and try and take an officer's firearm, which ultimately lead to his death. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
"Dr. Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist in San Francisco, said the autopsy “supports the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun, if he has gunpowder particulate material in the wound.” She added, “If he has his hand near the gun when it goes off, he’s going for the officer’s gun.”
Sources told the Post-Dispatch that Brown’s blood had been found on Wilson’s gun.
Melinek also said the autopsy did not support witnesses who have claimed Brown was shot while running away from Wilson, or with his hands up.
She said Brown was facing Wilson when Brown took a shot to the forehead, two shots to the chest and a shot to the upper right arm. The wound to the top of Brown’s head would indicate he was falling forward or in a lunging position toward the shooter; the shot was instantly fatal.
A sixth shot that hit the forearm traveled from the back of the arm to the inner arm, which means Brown’s palms could not have been facing Wilson, as some witnesses have said, Melinek said. That trajectory shows Brown probably was not taking a standard surrender position with arms above the shoulders and palms out when he was hit, she said"
So the ONLY POSSIBLE interpretation of the "evidence" is that it's all Brown's fault? Nobody else has any other interpretation except the one that exonerates the cop? I'm so surprised.
What about the two guys in the video shown with their hands up, as if that is what Brown was doing?
you obviously have not watched the video you speak of. In no way was he mimicking surrendering with his hands up. And go yourself.
Brown isn't on trial. but if the evidence doesn't conclusively support the prosecution's case, it would be illogical to pin guilt on wilson
if the ing murderous, racist cop hadn't been cruising a black neighborhood to fulfill his "fry a [email protected]" quota, Brown would be alive.
This is one of the dumber posts I've seen on this board.
Copy/pasting one's own opinion is so much more persuasive than making an intelligible argument that I'm surprised more people don't do it. /spurstalk
if the ing murderous, racist cop hadn't been cruising a black neighborhood to fulfill his "fry a [email protected]" quota, Brown would be alive.
the police stats show the police confront, harass, "cite" blacks in Ferguson for trivial . That's why they cruise Ferguson, to bully, harass, up the blacks.
Do the stats show that this particular cop is "murderous and racist?" Is there any evidence of a "fry a [email protected]" quota?
