A purported conversation captured on a YouTube video apparently shot in the immediate aftermath of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown has a possible witness saying the unarmed 18-year-old charged at the officer who fired the shots that have led to more than a week of sometimes violent demonstrations in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.

YouTube video purportedly captures witness backing police version in Ferguson shooting (Exremely Graphic Video)
All I hear are bystanders muttering non-eyewitness accounts.
where is the Dash Cam video ? If there is no video there still could be sound
Only problem with this is that there’s no way to identify the speaker, and there’s pretty much no way he’s going to come forward with a story that contradicts that of the mob.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
Ferguson PD just got funding for dash cams but they don’t have them yet.
The video shooter is narrating, and implies has no idea how the dead guy he is filming has died. As the crowd builds, the witness comes up and starts talking about what he saw.
I doubt the dude who posted it to utube had any idea what he had in the background on his vid.
I need better speakers - I could barely understand what the guy holding the cellphone was saying.
Wow. Someone who saw it is making comments nearly contemporaneously as to what happened, and it doesn’t jive with the national liberal narrative.
Snitches get Stitches-—poster will NEVER be revealed/ID’ed
NOBODY circles the racial wagons like blacks.
Actually this video confirms my suspicions of the shooting.
Remember that the County and that private ME said there were no shoots to the rear. Oh by the way, I would not leave the body with the feds. You lose the chain of evidence so someone has to be there.
Notice that the body is on his stomach not his back. Why is this important? If the man was upright and just standing there, shoots to the body and two to the head would have propelled the body onto his back. Also consider the bullet take down power from close range say under 10 feet. Hit in the head he goes back, on his back and down.
Probably he started to charge the officer, his arms down because that’s the way we run, arms down not up. The officer fired, rounds went up, arms to head and to the right and the gun walked up, right handed shooter.. As he was being hit. he was lowering his head charging, that accounts for the bullet to the head. That bullet dropped him dead in his tracks, face down to the street.
Man was charging the cop, cop defended himself.
Try to listen from around 6:30 minutes and listen to the background not the primary voices.
"I mean, the police was in the truck [sic] and he was, like, over the truck," the man says. "So then he ran, police got out and ran after him.
The next thing I know, he comes back towards them." - Purported witness to shooting of Michael Brown
From the video we learn.....
When some one is shot, the expectation by the women is that the ambulance will come and it will be all ok
A shooting by a police is apparently not common and the original thought it was likely black on black
within the first 5 minutes or so the myth of upraised hands was being vocalized. On the far side of the street there was a man with his arms up.
I’ve heard that and even saw a link where it was reported/affirmed by the police chief. . .but. . . I went to the City of Ferguson website and looked at their budget documents.
City of Ferguson: http://www.fergusoncity.com/
Search for Police Data Cameras (or any version thereof): http://www.fergusoncity.com/Search/Results?searchPhrase=police%20data%20camera&page=1&perPage=10
http://www.fergusoncity.com/documentcenter/view/1068 link to capital improvement plan, 2010-11 to 2011-2015. No requests for police cameras other than surveillance cameras around the PD (pg CIP-14).
http://www.fergusoncity.com/documentcenter/view/1604 - no mention of dash cams or other vehicle-mounted cameras.
So, a close review of the budget documents from 2010-2013/14 reflect a cash-poor city that may, or may not have, recently purchased dash cams.
Rush made the excellent point today that even though the cop involved didn’t know of the robbery the “Gentle Giant” did know he had just committed a crime and therefore would be likely to act suspiciously when confronted by the police thinking that the cop did know and was going to arrest him. Food for thought there.
It doesn’t matter to the Left or Sharpton or Jackson or Holder or 0bama or the media, it’s the seriousness of the charge rather than the evidence.
Mob...meaning the rioters or holder et al?
By the time the Holder inJustice Dept. gets done with this video those two bystanders will be speaking about Rugby scores in Swahili.
