A short excerpt from the transcript of Witness 10:

“Roughly I wanna say 8:40, I mean not 8:40, 11:40-11:40 is when that-when I first seen these two guys. And, my initial thought was, “wow, that’s a big dude.” Because Mr. Brown, Mike Brown, my initial thought was he’s a big guy. He’s tall and like stocky build and that’s it. He-he, they both walked passed me. I took my tools, went into I came back outside to get some more stuff and I looked down the street and I seen the police car at a slant and I seen Mr. Brown in the window of the police car looked ...it appeared as they were wrestling through the window and one gunshot had let off. And, Mr. Brown took off running and my first thought was like “oh my gosh” did I actually just witness a police officer being murdered because it took a while for the police officer to get out of the car and pursue the-the suspect. And, I wanna say maybe six seconds, but it seemed like it was forever after the-the-the first gunshot.

So, the police officer exited the vehicle with his weapon drawn pursuing Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown was quite a distance and he stopped and when he stopped, he didn’t get down on the ground or anything. He turned around and he did some type of movement. I never seen him put his hands up or anything. I can’t recall the movement that he did. I’m not sure if he pulled his pants up or-or whatever he did but I seen some type of movement and he started charging towards the police officer. The police officer then returned fire, well, not returned fire, open fire on Mr. Brown. Um, if I had to guess the shots and the-the distance between him and, a, Mr. Brown, it would have to be five to ten yards and the shots that were fired was four, five to six shots fired and Mr. Brown was still standing up. Um, and my thoughts was while he’s missing this guy this close, is he-is he hitting him or because Mr. Brown there was no reaction from him to show that he was been hit.

Um, after that, Mr. Brown then paused. He-he-he stopped running and when he stopped running the police officer stopped firing. And, then Mr. Brown continued, started again to charge towards him and after that the police officer returned fire and um well not returned, I’m using wrong ...a started to fire once more at him. Um, if I had to guess the rounds that were fired then it would be four to five more shots and after that Mr. Brown collapsed and fell to the ground.”

What did the toxicology report say? I seem to remember something about marijuana and maybe it was laced with PCP.
Did that show up in the reports?

There are a lot of words and pictures for sensible folks to read. Surely this will stop the riots. Right?

The tox report shows impairment due to marijuana, but no other drugs.

Witness 14 is a shining example of liberal “progress” in matters of education.

For those who willingly remain ignorant, those who have emotional response to everything, those who believe it's okay to lie if it motivates, those whose hero's are Oprah,Ellen,Joyce Meyers,Joel Osteen, assorted entertainers,so-called preachers, rappers,poverty pimps etc...etc...

Feelings trump Facts every time!

This witness testimony matches almost exactly with Office Wilson’s account. Wilson said it was a little hop when he started charging and also Wilson testified about the pause in firing at Brown.

Witness #41 is like an episode of COPS. It’s hysterical.

Thanks for posting this.

The documentation is exhaustive. This was a lot for any jury to handle, digest, and make a decision upon.

The right decision was made by the Grand Jury.

Once Michael Brown had his hand on the officers weapon, it was game over.

To his credit Officer Wilson exited the vehicle and gave the command to stop and get on the ground. He did not come out with his gun blazing.

The witness testimony from witness 10 corroborates Wilson;s testimony.

Brown charged Wilson once, Wilson fired multiple times, Brown stopped, Wilson again gave the command to stop and get on the ground.

Brown then charged Wilson a second time, and the officer fired a few more times, and with the fatal head shot, Brown finally obeyed and got on the ground—dead.

The physical evidence backs up the officer’s version of events.

The truth and the facts stand in stark contrast to the race baiting lies of the media and the race pimps and agitators.

That is called “pragmatism” these days, a two bit word for “the ends justify the means.”

Since the officer said he felt like he was trying to restrain "The HUlK" during car fight for his gun....imagine what this little store owner thought!
