Another Witness in Michael Brown Shooting Found Dead
teleSUR ^ | December 8, 2014

The man has been identified as a 23-year-old black man who testified during the grand jury proceedings over the killing of Michael Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.

Another witness of the shooting of Michael Brown has been found dead in a dry channel near River Des Peres in Misssouri, local authorities confirmed.

The man has been identified as 23-year-old Shawn Gray, a black man who testified during the grand jury proceedings over the killing of Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.

According to relatives and friends, Gray was last seen leaving a restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. The manner and cause of his death are pending autopsy results. However, his family is demanding answers and say the death could have been premeditated murder.

Another witness DeAndre Joshua, also a young black man, was found shot dead and his car was torched outside the same neighborhood where Brown was killed.

Two witnesses of the Brown shooting have now been found dead under suspicious circumstances, while local authorities have not announced any leads in either case, and the press has provided minimal coverage.

The police murders of black young men in recent months has provided a stark reminder to the world of the harsh reality faced by many black communities in the United States. Their deaths exposed the continued persecution of black people.

Mass protests against these injustices have taken place across the country. Protesters are demanding justice for black lives lost at the hands of state sanctioned violence, with over 100 days of peaceful protest ranging from #HandsUpWalkOut and solidarity days with Ferguson.

The important question, neither asked nor answered here, is to what did they testify?

Pretty terrible if there is a connection to the case and not just lifestyle choices gone bad.

The only reason the government is not protecting these people is to send a message to blacks. This is nothing more than enslavement to dems and thugs of the black community.

I noticed several of the big name protest leaders pulling out of Ferguson recently. Wonder if this is why?

They are pulling in a lot of funds and donations and I bet Luis Head doesn’t like that.

And the two dead grand jury witnesses can’t be good for business.

The author is a racist liar.

I can only guess that their testimony was harmful to one side or the other in this case. Or perhaps they were young black men killed by other young black men and time marches on.

Gee, this is beginning to sound like “gang” activity.

Little giant Mikey would not have been affiliated with a gang could he?

It seems that it just wasn’t Mikey’s day to carry a weapon. It appears many of his friends do.

When Obummer was having his White House confabs with Ferguson rioters - I wonder if he told them what to do with snitches?

The police murders of black young men in recent months

Grand juries in both instances have determined the killings were not murder. But that does not stop the violent "protesters" from rioting, pilfering and looting, nor does it stop authors of articles such as this from wrongfully claiming they were. Dumbasses.

find the Grand Jury transcripts (I found them at CNNs site) and read it. I’ve only read the autopsy report so far...
