'He had his (...) hands in the air': New video of Michael Brown incident reveals witnesses' horror
Daily Mail ^ | 09/12/2014 | By COREY CHARLTON

Posted on 09/12/2014 1:16:58 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

A video has surfaced showing two witnesses' incredulous reactions to the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer.

In the video, one of the contractors standing near the scene throws his own hands up in the air and shouts 'he had his f****** hands in the air' minutes after Brown was gunned down.

Officer Darren Wilson shot dead unarmed 18-year-old Brown on August 9, in an incident that triggered a national debate on race relations and two weeks of widespread protests.

The men's reactions were captured on a cellphone-recorded video obtained by CNN.

One of the men, who spoke to CNN under condition of anonymity, told the broadcaster he saw Brown running away from a police car.

Brown then put his hands up and 'the officer was chasing him', he said. He saw Wilson fire a shot at Brown while his back was turned.

The other contractor said he saw Brown's 'brains come out of his head,' adding 'his hands were up.'

An autopsy commissioned by Brown's family concluded that he was shot six times, twice in the head.

It comes two days after a judge denied a request to release Brown's juvenile records.

And that’s probably what you meant in your first post. I apologize for not picking up on it. You deserve the credit for the comparison.

Take care.

We know that it would have been impossible for Michael Brown to have has his arms in the air as he was punching Officer Wilson in the face and breaking his eye socket.

Legally speaking - whenever two people are fighting over control of a weapon, both are deemed to be in control of that weapon. Hence, Michael Brown WAS ARMED.

They’re still using that Gary Coleman’esque photo to make
him out to be less thuggish?

I think this is CNN getting punked yet again. Remember the cell phone conversation from a couple of weeks ago with the gunshots on it. That one sure has faded away. This one will to.

******************

That happened at the patrol car after which Brown ran away from Officer Wilson.
Officer Wilson followed him, Brown stopped, turned around and charged Officer
Wilson. That is when Brown was shot. He wasn’t shot when they were struggling
for the weapon at the car. Or that is what is purported to have happened.

It’s getting bad out there, bad I tell you...

How bad is it getting to be, Johnny?

It’s getting so bad that a racist US Attorney General can’t even manufacture evidence that people will buy into anymore.

>>The use of that vile profanity by the thug “witness” tells me everything I need to know. The credibility is zero.

Most sailors and soldiers would say it the exact same way.

That's not how it happened.

Brown struggled for the gun and delivered the beating while Officer Wilson was in the car. After failing to get the gun but breaking Wilson eye socket, Brown withdrew and ran away. Wilson got out of the car and ran after him calling for Brown to halt.

Brown stopped and turned around taunting Wilson verbally. Brown then charged Wilson and Wilson started firing.

Lying witnesses first claimed that Brown had surrender holding his hands in the air...and Wilson shot him in the back. After the autopsy destroyed that case, they then made up story about Brown turning around and surrendering with his hands in the air...and Wilson shot him.

The first account above is the account given by Officer Wilson to a family friend and corroborated by a recording on the mobile phone of someone who comes up after the shooting. In the recording a person in the background inadvertently described what happened and it matches Officer Wilson's story exactly.

The video is of the two contractors, but who is actually taking the video?

The dead-now perp was bull-rushing the officer after earlier assaulting and trying to murder the officer. The officer did the taxpayers a big favor.

“Not strange at all. They will keep it going until they get the results they want”.
That means that it will never stop because the result they want is total destruction of our system. And a great byproduct for them would be the submission of the white race. Which would result in our becoming a third world country.

Unfortunately your statement is already becoming true. We ARE a Third World country-in my lifetime.

The Danziger Bridge shooting happened in 2005 and the court case is still going on 9 years later. This could easily go on that long if not longer.
