So his hands went up after the cop tried to pull him thru the window? Still quite an unbelievable situation described by this credible witness.

Actually the first narrative by Zimmerman stood the test of everything thrown at it and proved to be true. And just like him this kid provided details that the forensic evidence should be able to validate if true.

Who would think to make up a story of a cop in broad daylight with witnesses all around reaching out the door window and grabbing his friend with his left hand while pulling out his gun with his right hand and shooting him with it.

And then shooting him in the back and then a few more times when he turned around.

He’s told his story to the press and to investigators and it has been corroborated by other witnesses.

If there is another witness with another story then let him step forward — and I’m referring to the cop who is conveniently MIA.

"1st & 2nd photos of the MRAP (on top)...is that one of those new-fangled ultrasonic crowd control devices?

I think that's what it is. I took this at the G-20 in Pittsburgh a few years ago:

That's what somebody said it was but I never really heard it.

So the cop should be identified? Why? So the roving mob can kill him?

In the back of my mind, I’m thinking that we should observe and remember the tactics being deployed in this situation for future reference.

For example, what would be the best caliber and placement of shot to take one of those devices out.

Just sayin’

Try again:

He said the officer, whose name has not been released, shoved open the car door, grabbed Brown around the neck and tried to pull him through the window. He said Brown never tried to reach for the officer’s weapon.

“The second time he says, ‘I’ll shoot,’ a second later the gun went off and he let go,” Johnson said. “That’s how we were able to run at the same time.”

Johnson said he ducked behind a car as the officer continued shooting at them, hitting Brown in the back.

“His (Brown’s) hands immediately went into the air and he turned around to the officer,” Johnson recalls. “My friend started to tell the officer that he was unarmed and that he could stop shooting (him).

Before he could get his second sentence out, the officer fired several more shots into his head and chest area. He fell dramatically into the fatal position. I did not hear once he yell freeze, stop or halt. it was just horrible to watch.”.

“What has that got to do with stealing Iphones and Air Jordan’s?”
“And where is that happening???”

I guess you missed all of Monday night’s looting, eh?

If this story is true, it is disturbing. But what about it makes it compelling? Because a friend of M Brown said it? That makes it believable?

Airspace had to be shut down because PD helicopters were being shot at. PD has reported they’ve been receiving threats. Mobs have been looting.

Prudence dictates that you wait until the investigation is concluded.

Some people want to go straight to punishment. That is a lynch mob mentality.

Per Titter, Ferguson Police just arrested a Huffpo Reporter, Ryan Reilly, per Jon Swaine, of the Gaurdian. https://twitter.com/jonswaine

Don’t be stupid.
But that does seem to be your calling card.

He was right there —

He heard and saw everything up close and personal that others also saw from a distance.

Shame on these opportunists who take advantage of the situation in order to loot and pillage.


Agree.

This is a live thread. If you’d like to flame troll, please do it elsewhere.
There are many of us actually interested in what is happening.

I don’t believe anyone at this point and am taking a wait and see attitude. I will say this: the cops should be videoing all such encounters and there failure to do so makes the vulnerable to creative witnessing. This is 2014. There’s no excuse for anything less than 100% video of all stops.

So “Uncle Chip”, does your “credible witness” explain how the officer’s injuries occurred?
