So his hands went up after the cop tried to pull him thru the window? Still quite an unbelievable situation described by this credible witness.

Try again:

He said the officer, whose name has not been released, shoved open the car door, grabbed Brown around the neck and tried to pull him through the window. He said Brown never tried to reach for the officer’s weapon.

“The second time he says, ‘I’ll shoot,’ a second later the gun went off and he let go,” Johnson said. “That’s how we were able to run at the same time.”

Johnson said he ducked behind a car as the officer continued shooting at them, hitting Brown in the back.

“His (Brown’s) hands immediately went into the air and he turned around to the officer,” Johnson recalls. “My friend started to tell the officer that he was unarmed and that he could stop shooting (him).

Before he could get his second sentence out, the officer fired several more shots into his head and chest area. He fell dramatically into the fatal position. I did not hear once he yell freeze, stop or halt. it was just horrible to watch.”.
