Complete Headline: Autopsy, toxicology report on Michael Brown reportedly reveal marijuana, cast doubt on witness claims he was running away

Michael Brown, the 18-year-old black man whose fatal shooting by a white police officer in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson in August touched off weeks of racially-charged rioting, had marijuana in his system, was initially shot at close range and does not appear to have been killed while running away, according to experts who reviewed the official autopsy and toxicology report.

[Snip]

The newspaper had St. Louis medical examiner Dr. Michael Graham, who is not part of the official investigation, review the autopsy report, and he determined that it “does support that there was a significant altercation at the car” including a shot that hit Brown’s right hand. Dr. Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist in San Francisco who also reviewed the documents, concurred that the autopsy “supports the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun" and that it did not support claims Brown was shot while running away from Wilson, or with his hands up.

[Snip]

The shots fired outside of the vehicle hit Brown in the forehead, upper right arm and twice in the chest, Melinek said. The fatal shot to the top of Brown’s head indicates he was falling forward or in a lunging position toward the shooter, she said. The fact that a sixth shot hit his forearm and traveled from the back of the arm to the inner arm shows Brown’s palms could not have been facing Wilson, as some witnesses have said, Melinek said.

Jackson and Sharpton don’t care as long as the money keeps flowing.

Speaking of Koreans...have you ever seen Chris Rock’s documentary “Good Hair”? Definitely a seething hatred of Koreans running through that.

No. You’re wrong. As our Freeper friends tell us, there’s no link between MJ and violence. /sarc

Well, Michael Jackson wasn't known to be violent................

Sharpton and Jackson are shameless and will not see their reputations hurt by this.

That's because their reputations have been at a nadir for decades.

Who are you going to believe; the narrative or the racist facts?

All this photo needs to sum this up is a “Protesters” label on Mike Brown and “The Truth” on the store clerk.

The “hands up” crowd is living on lies, and will dismiss all facts as racist. These data releases are all about firing up the riots before the election — but I don’t think anyone outside the hood and communist hq is going to be buying.

That’s nothin’. I heard Officer Wilson tied him to a post and whipped him till the all the flesh was ripped off his back and then put a blindfold on him and shot him in the back of the head.

Fog of war, you know. But I also heard that after executing him he fed the body into a wood chipper and he was singing something about "Fargo".

This no more establishes a "link" between MJ and violence than between air (which he was certainly breathing at the time) and violence.
