The struggle over the gun could account for the shots to the hands and arm, but why would he rush him after he was shot like 4 times? Then again, it's pretty hard to account for a straight on shot to the top of the head unless he was rushing him with his head down or unless he was on his knees. Either way, the witness accounts of him being shot in the back are thoroughly debunked.
The shot in the car could account for either the hand wound or the inner forearm wound. But I honestly don't see how it could account for both. I think all parties agree that only 1 shot was fired in the car
It's just impossible to tell until we get either more reliable eyewitnesses, we hear the cop's full accounting of the incident, or there is a video released.
The Brown shooting is obviously a racial issue considering the protesting. What not many people are talking about though is why exactly is Michael Brown dead? He was killed by a GUN. Yes that's right, this is also a gun issue. Why exactly did the officer decide it was necessary to stop Michael Brown with 6 gunshots instead of using a device that could incapacitate Brown without executing him (i.e. a TASER)? Was the officer even armed with a taser? If not, then this is a failure of the Ferguson PD for not properly equipping their officers. If the officer did have a taser but went for the gun instinctively, then this is a lack of proper training and preparation. If he intentionally reached for the gun with the intent to kill, then he's a POS, possible racist who should be going to jail. If Brown were tased and arrested for robbing a store instead of executed, this event is most likely a non-story and certainly wouldn't have led to this clusterf*** we're seeing right now in Ferguson, MO.
Well this video shows a different angle of what happened. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/maA1FUJqhew" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Because he was 6'4" 290 lbs. <insert 25 videos of people being tazed and continuing to fight> Hell I was tazed and ripped one of the barbs out, breaking the circuit, and ending the effectiveness of the taser. Its really not as effective as The Hangover makes it out to be.
Don't think this video has been posted. Game just changed http://www.ijreview.com/2014/08/168...tail-background-video-mins-ferguson-shooting/ If you haven’t seen it, this video was made after the sound of the shots brought people out of their homes to see what had happened. There is no doubt in my mind that none of these people you will hear at first witnessed the shooting. But as they start making things up, they start embellishing what they heard someone else say. Soon, there’s a claim that the officer gunned Brown down for no reason as Brown was running with his hands up and begging “Don’t shoot!” and then the officer stood over the body and emptied his handgun into him. Now hundreds of thousands of people take this as fact and the news media loves the ratings that riots bring. But if you listen careful at this short video clip, you can hear a conversation in the background with a man describing what he saw. In every way it sounds like this man was an actual eyewitness to what happened…just watch the subtitles.
and the wounds to the palm and forearm. I think I remember Josie saying that early on when Brown grabbed for the gun it was pointing at the officer's hip.
So I'm confused as to who to believe -- the autopsy expert or the small time rapper? Or maybe the guy that was with Mike Brown when he roughed up the convenience store clerk? Soooo many people got duped by biased reporting and accounts. Sad that it led to further violence. Wait for the facts, people....
According to the convenience store video, there was no roughing up of the clerk, at least not by Brown. Brown paid for his stuff and then bent down and picked something up from the floor, casually, before walking out of the store.
i didn't get that from the vid... i mean its hard to tell but it looks as if he grabbed a box of rillos from behind the counter than put the box back while picking up the ones on the ground. at the end you can see the clerk come out from behind and i doubt he would do that if it was a normal transaction... also the way the lady walking into the store looked at him seems to suggest something out of the norm was happening. but like i said its very hard to tell
How can you tell how the lady looked at him when her face was blurred out? If that was the clerk who came out from behind the counter, he did so in a pretty nonchalant manner for someone who just got "roughed up." He didn't even get in Brown's way or move to confront. Where in that video does it show Brown "roughing up" the clerk? I don't see so much as a single punch thrown and, though audio would confirm it, it doesn't even appear that Brown was abusive in any way. I guess you have to have made up your mind that Brown is a "thug," then you see all kinds of stuff in that video that the rest of us don't see.
i never said he roughed him up, but what i do see is at :20 him reaching behind the counter which he shouldn't be doing and grabbing a box of rillos than letting a few of them drop out of the box and than putting the box back than he picks them up and leaves... leaving me to believe he stole them. I have never said he was a thug but since we are going by what we can see and what we can't see when exactly does he give the clerk money? and if the kid did steal the rillos i couldn't careless, my friends steal **** all the time...
and i know that was the clerk who came out because if you watch the top right of the video you can see him leave from behind the counter and go thru the door
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IbsiFFPPdW4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Are we watching the same video. did you finish til the end when the clerk tried to stop him at the door, and he shoved the much smaller man into the stands, and then intimated him to not pursue wit his size.
Haha. Only if you watch the one that is doctored to be cut off before the clerk who came around from behind the counter and tried to block him from exiting the store was shoved into a rack of snacks or something and then intimidated. LOL Good grief.
