Dorian Johnson said he hid behind a car when the shooting started, but it’s possible that he started circling around behind the officer and the policeman may have felt he had no choice but to take out the immediate threat.
I still can’t understand and I believe no “journalists” have asked Dorian how he could see everything while hiding, (”ducking”) behind a car.
Forgive me if this has been discussed already...
Dorian Johnson better be very, very careful of what he says.
If the shooting of Michael Brown is tied back to the convenience store robbery, then by law, if Johnson was an accomplice in that robbery he can be charged with homicide in the death of Brown.
We had a robbery shooting here last year where four yutes from nearby Castro Valley tried to rob a local pawn shop. The owner shot and killed one of the robbers, and the other three ran away. They were all eventually caught and charged with robbery and homicide in the death of their friend.
Johnson could be in the same situation if the shooting of Brown was a result of the QuikTrip robbery that Johnson was also involved in.
