Michael Brown Shooting Witness Releases Video: ‘I Knew This Was Not Right’ (Video)
The WRAP ^ | August 18th, 2014 | Tim Molloy

Posted on 08/18/2014 2:41:25 PM PDT by Mariner

A woman who says she witnessed the shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown has released video to CNN that shows Brown lying in the street as officers stand by.

The shooting has spawned a week of protests in which demonstrators have demanded an explanation for Brown's killing. Police in Ferguson, Mo., say officer Darren Wilson opened fire because Brown tried to take his gun during an altercation.

Piaget Crenshaw said she has waited until now to release the video because she feared for her safety and was waiting for police to release Wilson's name, which they did Friday. She also said police could have released her video Friday — when they also released surveillance footage that they said showed Brown stealing cigarillos from a convenience store before the shooting. She said police had her video because they confiscated her phone.

Go to my FR page, and scan down to “Travon” and read them.

So basically she went for popcorn during the most exciting part of the movie. She saw nothing.

What she describes, either maliciously or because it fits the narrative, as the officer fighting to get Brown in the car without cuffing him is actually Brown shoving the officer into the car and attacking him

Brown's accomplice, Johnson, testified that the 180 lb officer reached out of his window while sitting in the vehicle, grabbed the 6'4" 300 lb Brown by the throat and tried to drag him into the vehicle on top of himself.

One of Johnson's reasons for lying is obvious. If events happened as the officer describes then this is a continuation of the robbery from which they were fleeing and this puts Johnson in jeopardy of being charged with felony murder in Brown's death.

How many of those are with regard to “facts” that were available in the first few days after the story broke?

No gunpowder on wounds according to Dr. Baden.

How then, did the officer shoot Michael Brown twice at close range?

(according to the eyewitness)

And what happened to the second eyewitness, Piaget’s boss who was getting her for work?

30 years ago many of us would have been laughed at if we would have said what is going on now.

It’s obvious the eyewitness named Piaget Crenshaw, is editing what she saw to fit what other people told her.

IE: Dorian Johnson says he was dragged into car, and voila! Piaget saw him being dragged into the car.

So do these police vehicles have a dash-cam? And do police EVER put someone in the back of the car without cuffing them?

You are right. Then I would have bought property out in the boonies with a well and farmland.

Do I have the story right? The Witness was Brown’s accomplice in cigar theft plus felony assault. When his Lou Ferrigno sized buddy assaults a cop with less than Marvelous results, The Witness knowingly files a false police report, causing a multi-million dollar riot the truth would prevented. Isn’t there some liability there? Shouldn’t a society, interesting in avoiding such riots, want to nail him to discourage further falsely triggered riots in the future?

The second fake eyewitness is Tiffany Mitchell.

” Mitchell said she drove to Ferguson on Saturday to pick up an employee for work just in time to see Brown tussling at the window of a police vehicle.

She and the employee, Piaget Crenshaw, told CNN’s Don Lemon late Wednesday about Brown’s last moments.”

Look at the video I linked to earlier. THAT is really where the false narrative began, with the fake eyewitness Piaget Crenshaw, who not only didn’t see the entire incident, but spends considerable time editorializing about what the police did, didn’t do, and should have done.

She literally sounds like she’s watched one too many episodes of SWAT Team.

The raw footage I linked to, was shot on August 9, shortly after the Michael Brown incident.

Remember, this was broadcast on local news stations at 5pm, and people took it as an eyewitness account. This set the crowd off.

Piaget Crenshaw, never says in this first video, that she didn’t SEE the incident. She does admit that she talked to MB’s family, and sounds to be repeating a lot of other stories woven into hers.

No. Ferguson does not.

And no, an officer would not put an uncuffed robbery suspect in his vehicle. He especially would not try to pull an uncuffed suspect onto his lap in the front seat.

I agree. Her testimony would not survive cross examination.

They span the whole circus.

There were lots of facts available here at FR, but the MSM, not so much. You know the drill.

No way. This part of the account,a cop sitting in and SUV grabbing a BIG GUY by neck trying to pull him into a seat in which the Officer was at a disadvantage, I have never believed. Not believable at all.

>> “30 years ago many of us would have been laughed at if we would have said what is going on now.” <<

.
But the JBS dutifully told us to prepare for it, and were called conspiracy buffs.
