Were his pants down below his butt?

 

If so, then that is some good performance art.

Dead bodies on the ground are fairly common in Ferguson. Usually they have been stripped of all possessions.

Apparently they are even more common in Philadelphia which is where the LOVE statue is located.

Notice that the performance artist’s positioning doesn’t match that of the actual body at all. He’s altered it to try to make it look like Brown had his hands up when he fell.

Sheesh, I looked at another and he switched to face up. Pretty poor performance as a “dead” body, if you keep moving around. Though, the Palestinians would still hire him to play a “martyr” I bet.

Thanks for waking me up. You are correct.

I hadn’t read enough of it to notice it was from Philly.

I just made an assumption. My mistake.

His body position is all wrong. His hands were NOT above his head after he hit thr ground (if they were EVER there when he turned torwards the cop car from a distance of over 20 feet).
