Another eyewitness: Woman comes forward with footage taken immediately after Michael Brown shooting
Hotair ^ | 08/18/2014 | AllahPundit

Via Mediaite, maybe there’s more out there but this is just the second clip I’ve seen of the crime scene and the first that (allegedly) includes footage of Darren Wilson, the cop who fired the shots that killed Brown. That’s him on the right in the clip below according to the eyewitness, Piaget Crenshaw.

Crenshaw’s account of what happened starts at around 3:00. She’s right in line with the other three eyewitnesses on Brown’s general movements: He ran from Wilson initially, Wilson fired at him, then Brown turned back to face him. Crenshaw thinks the shots fired at Brown while he was running away either missed him entirely or grazed him, which corroborates the autopsy report showing no entry wounds from the back. The truly interesting part here is what she says she saw when Wilson first pulled up alongside Brown and Dorian Johnson. Johnson has claimed that Wilson grabbed Brown from inside the vehicle — specifically, he says, he grabbed Brown’s neck, which would seem hard to do to a man who’s 6’4″ from a sitting position. Crenshaw says she too saw Wilson grab Brown, although she doesn’t say where specifically. Wilson then seemed to get “upset,” says Crenshaw, Brown took off, and Wilson took off after him.

Turns out this isn’t the first interview Crenshaw gave about the shooting, though. The first one happened right after Brown was killed; it’s the second clip below. She seems vaguer in the earlier video about what happened in the first few moments between Brown and Wilson. At around 0:30, she says they had some kind of “interaction” but says she didn’t see any sort of chokehold, as another witness had claimed, because she was getting ready for work.

So she’s telling 2 different stories?

Took a while to get her story in line with the other witnesses.

if you start to give greater detail as time goes on—away from the incident—you are lying... people give greater detail in the beginning...

(from article):" .. Wilson then seemed to get “upset,” says Crenshaw, Brown took off, and Wilson took off after him."

If I was in my car , and gun went off inside the vehicle, I'd be pi$$ed , and not able to hear much of anything ( temporarily deaf/ ears ringing !).
Ever been in a small confined area, and have a gun go off ?
Much less that it was your own gun ?

I don’t trust her. That is because of her color and past history has shown that because of her color she has a racial agenda.

I had my wife come over and stand next to me. From a sitting position, I can't reach her neck, and she's a foot shorter than Brown. Even granted the cop car has Wilson being higher, it's still not going to work.

The only way it works is if Brown is bending down. And why would a cop reach for a suspect's neck, leaving both of the suspects hands free?

The only scenario that makes sense is if Brown was lunging INTO the vehicle, to grab the cop's gun, and Wilson was struggling to shove him OUT.

latina4dubya :"if you start to give greater detail as time goes on...people give greater detail in the beginning..."

And the information is more accurate.
Social pressures tend to influence what we actually have seen, especially as time goes on.
Further from the first interview , much information is added upon by social pressure,
and what we heard from others , and we tend to fill in-the-blanks through other secondary sources.

Holder will be “interviewing”, I’m sure, many “witnesses” in preparation for the “trial”.

Listening to Baden on Greta it occurred to me that the facial abrasians would tell you roughly if he was running and how fast approximately. Any other abrasions elsewhere would seem to me to be able to back it up.

If Wilson got MB by the neck through the window, eventually, he’s going to have to change hands. Not a good start.

But it matches Dorian Johnson who she’s probably trying to bolster.

Incorrect.

Well after the incident, being presented with pictures, drawings, recordings, transcripts etc can jog/elicit details not remembered or covered in previous testimony.

Her video shows nothing but the perp dead on the street with the cop standing nearby.

She says a shot prompted her to look out the window. Likely story as in that neighborhood the sound of gunfire probably causes residents to move away from windows and hide. Assuming that part is truthful she didn’t see anything that happened before the shot - and just when did that shot occur.

States that she had to get her cameraphone so what did she miss during those seconds.

Not a credible witness. This is just being tossed out there to help their agenda. Some fools will believe it and they know it.

Expect more of the same to surface as the objective is to overwhelm the facts with this sort of tripe.

She thinks Brown raised his hands before the final two shots

so brown was grabbing for the officer even at the end?

WAY more “witness preparation” may have to be done. The little dribbles of information that have come out are all consistent with the conclusion that the adopted narrative is NOT a true account of the sequence of events.

None of the autopsy results published so far have indicated any shots in the back. The deceased was full face-on as he took the slugs, the last being through the top of the head, down through the jaw, and re-entering the body past the clavicle, as he fell forward. It is not like the officer stepped up and put a final coup de grâce on the fallen body.
