EYEWITNESS: MICHAEL BROWN RAN FROM COP CAR, 'DOUBLED BACK' AND CHARGED AT OFFICERS
Breitbart ^ | August 17, 2014

Posted on 08/17/2014 11:38:49 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

A newly-discovered video taken in the aftermath of Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown's death features a conversation between two bystanders, one whom relays what he witnessed—and he states that Brown fled a police car but then "doubled back" and was charging at officers as they fired at him.

Since Brown's fatal shooting has become a media firestorm, inspiring violent riots and looting in Ferguson, witnesses from both sides of the controversy have given conflicting reports on just what happened. However, this private conversation minutes after the incident seems untainted by any desire to protect or tarnish the reputation of either Brown or the police.

Video and transcript at source.

I think it’s just the way the witness talks. He kept saying “the police” as if there were more than one officer, but I don’t think he meant it that way.

#1 How’d he get from there to there?
#2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck
{crosstalk}
#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him
{crosstalk}
#2 Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –
#1. Oh, the police got his gun
#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him
{crosstalk}
#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing
#1 The Police?
#2 The Police shot him
#1 Police?
#2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”)

Autopsy should confirm whether he was shot facing the officer.

I have a feeling the autopsy report (the original one) shows that Michael Brown was shot from the FRONT and not the back.

Notice it hasn’t been released.

Hard to break the narrative that he was “down on his knees with his hands up screaming ‘don’t shoot’” - but little by little it’s being broken down.

Someone needs to file a FOIA to get the autopsy report released - that’s how the video was released even after the DOJ told the police NOT to release it.

So much being held in the “land of the free.”

It may have appeared the guy was on his knees. If he was charging towards the officer, one of his final shots may have brought Brown to his knees as he was headed face down.

I think Oprah and Michelle should lead the protest.They are calling for big names and Rev.Al just gave 10,000.00 to the family which makes 30,000.00.They should step up.

Possibly — but the autopsy -which has already been conducted - will clearly show if he was shot from the front or back.

I think the info is being withheld from the public - just like the video- the police know, the DOJ know, the government knows but doesn’t want it to disrupt the current “innocent black child shot by racist white police” narrative.

If he were shot from the back as the ghetto witnesses say, the info, IMO would have been released and then shouted all over the place by Sharpton, Holder, the media whores, etc.

The fact that the media are silent on this issue makes me think Mike Mike was shot from the front.

What I’m afraid of is the “new” autopsy will “clearly show” that Brown was shot from the back.

Kinda like what we argue about the Kennedy assassination, isn’t it?

Yes, I know. Praying our government isn’t that thoroughly corrupt that they would destroy evidence and obstruct justice at the federal, state and local levels all on one specific case to lynch an officer of the law.

The truth won’t be reported correctly, if at all.

Like with Trayvon, MSM reported he had “tea”. What he really had was a watermelon drink (photos of the scene prove that) — an ingredient in the drug he anticipated concocting, per his internet posting. If MSM had used the word, “watermelon”, there’d be hell to pay, considering he’s black. Also, “tea” is a more benign word overall.

The Skittles were reported as mere “candy”. Again, Skittles are another ingredient in the drug he planned to concoct.

Face it: We cannot win when it comes to pointing out the truth about the black racist mentality.

Here’s a little background that I posted on another thread, referring to one of Brown’s last FB posts, where he made a comment implying that he was going to be a martyr for a cause:

Here’s that article: http://freerepublic.com/%5Ehttp://clashdaily.com/2014/08/michael-brown-case-suddenly-blows-wide-open-likely-slam-dunk-favor-police/

And here’s the FB quote:

“If I leave this earth today, at least you’ll know I care about others more than I cared about my damn self.”

Here’s another link that had information/comments from his FB when it was till viewable: http://charlestonthuglife.net/2014/08/14/what-a-sham/ Sounds like his friends were big on the violence stuff as a way to “honor” his death.

This is the FB link but you have to be a friend to see the comments now: https://www.facebook.com/Mikestlboii

Here’s a link with a looter saying something about “the revolution”. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-11/ferguson-stlouis-violence-continues-protesters-warn-revolution-wont-be-televised

Caww’s comment about what all was going on (found at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3193375/posts?page=130#130 ): “An alert was put out early on that the Black Panthers were there and the leader was inciting violence. Also the Anabaptist’s had their thing going on with starting fires the Anonymous people were trying to put out. If these characters haven’t gone home they’ll continue to use this for their own purposes to incite trouble and draw attention....meanwhile the family will continue to solicit for funds along with their attorney and his Pr machine.”

Just watched a prayer service and the family was present.The Minister said to be prepared for bad news in 6 months.They want an Independent Prosecutor.They already know what it says.Also it is my belief that we have not seen riots because Obama did not call for them.He controls the churches.They were told to lay low.Rev.Al spoke and lumped everything together for the last couple of months including the choke hold death.So even if the lose the hands up don't shoot they can fall back on another.Just my opinion.

Quite true. The reasonable person has little to do at this point but wait for the forensics, both toxicology report and ballistics. There is little point in speculating further and even less of a point in taking action based on such speculation.

He was murdered by an officer applying an illegal chokehold.

OOOOOOOH, we should have a contest. We could call it “What’s my Spin”.

On today’s episode what will be the MSM/Black activist spin on this audio:

A) Its been doctored by the Ferguson PD
B) It will be as under-reported as weekend Chicago Homicide statistics
C) The Ferguson PD had a sniper trained on the speaker and were forcing him to say it
D) The speaker was actually talking about the cop rushing sweet, innocent Mike Mike
E) The speaker was under the influence of a bottle of Smooth, refreshing Colt .45, tainted by Rush Limbaugh, personally on behalf of the tea party
