Complete Headline: Autopsy, toxicology report on Michael Brown reportedly reveal marijuana, cast doubt on witness claims he was running away
Michael Brown, the 18-year-old black man whose fatal shooting by a white police officer in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson in August touched off weeks of racially-charged rioting, had marijuana in his system, was initially shot at close range and does not appear to have been killed while running away, according to experts who reviewed the official autopsy and toxicology report.

The newspaper had St. Louis medical examiner Dr. Michael Graham, who is not part of the official investigation, review the autopsy report, and he determined that it does support that there was a significant altercation at the car including a shot that hit Browns right hand. Dr. Judy Melinek, a forensic pathologist in San Francisco who also reviewed the documents, concurred that the autopsy supports the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun" and that it did not support claims Brown was shot while running away from Wilson, or with his hands up.

The shots fired outside of the vehicle hit Brown in the forehead, upper right arm and twice in the chest, Melinek said. The fatal shot to the top of Browns head indicates he was falling forward or in a lunging position toward the shooter, she said. The fact that a sixth shot hit his forearm and traveled from the back of the arm to the inner arm shows Browns palms could not have been facing Wilson, as some witnesses have said, Melinek said.

The autopsy report appears to vindicate Officer Wilson ... and makes Rev. Jesse and Rev. Al look like bigoted buffoons.
Jeesh! You are able to buy anything with those EBT cards!
This information and the other recent reports on information reviewed by the grand jury are devastating to the liberal racial narrative, that Brown was shot by racist cop for no reason.
Sharpton and Jackson are shameless and will not see their reputations hurt by this.
His sainted mother is prepared to testify under oath that she NEVER EVER saw a hint of aggression in the gentle 6'3" teen.....except once.....when he hit a high note in the church choir.
And besides if these accounts are true....how are they all gonna get rich quick....by soaking taxpayers for millions in reparations?
True, but of course the coroners and grand jury are just in on the coverup to protect this white cop who murdered an innocent unarmed black teenager.
Here come the riots. Call the amber lamps.
If you have already been shot twice in the chest and once in the forehead then how do you lunge? I'd say he was falling when the fatal shot was fired.
Imaging that, his thug accomplice/eye-witness is a lying liar. Same for all the other widnesses (sic).
Talking about the weed.
We knew that as soon as the report from the autopsy the parents had done was released, proving that MB hadn't been shot in the back like Johnson initially claimed.
Michael tried to pay with his race card
Their reps won’t suffer because everyone already has their mind made up about them. They had nothing to loose.
“If you have already been shot twice in the chest and once in the forehead then how do you lunge?”
Adrenalin can do strange things. That said, he probably was falling forward.
No. You’re wrong. As our Freeper friends tell us, there’s no link between MJ and violence. /sarc
Shooter may have panicked as he was being attacked by a monster of a man. He’s trying to stop him. He doesn’t know how many bullets it will take. That’s something no amount of training can answer.
Weed in his system? Hell, he could have had a signed/notarized statement in his pocket saying he planned to kill officer Wilson, and it wouldn’t affect the rioting.
Sorry but the facts don’t fit the narrative so they are irrelevant. The Gentle Giant was on the ground with his hands up when he was shot. Any facts to the contrary are racist.
