Tiffany Mitchell On Witnessing Michael Brown Shooting: Police 'Showed No Kind Of Remorse'
The Huffington Post ^ | August 14, 2014 | Paige Lavender

Posted on 08/14/2014 4:59:53 AM PDT by Uncle Chip

Tiffany Mitchell, a woman who says she witnessed a police officer shoot and kill Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, shared her story during an appearance on CNN with her attorney Wednesday night.

Mitchell said she was driving when she saw Brown trying to pull away from an officer as the two were "tussling through a window."

She said she had hoped to get a video because the incident "just didn't look right," but failed to get her camera out in time.

"I didn't know exactly what was going on, but I knew it didn't look right for someone to be wrestling with the police through the police window, but I didn't get a video because a shot was fired through the window, so I tried to get out of the way," Mitchell said.

Mitchell then described what she saw happen between Brown and the police officer.

"As I pull onto the side, the kid, he finally gets away, he starts running. As he runs the police get out of his vehicle and he follows behind him, shooting," Mitchell said.

"And the kid's body jerked as if he was hit from behind, and he turns around and puts his hands up like this, and the cop continued to fire until he just dropped down to the ground and his face just smacks the concrete."

Mitchell clarified she heard a shot after she saw Brown trying to pull away from the cop, and said even after Brown turned to face the cop and put his hands in the air, "the cop continued to come up on him and shoot him until he fell down to the ground."

She said she counted "more than about five or six shots."

> This Country is going down the tubes with the blessing of this Administration. Once again Barry had the opportunity to take the high road, ask the community to behave themselves while the Legal system did it’s thing. He didn’t of course. Likes the racial/warfare strife.

Barry has no concept of what it’s like to be black. He was raised as a “white” child going to private schools surrounded with white, Indonesian, and Polynesian children.

How is that any different from what you’re doing?

In addition, I don’t think Barry knows what it is like to be an American.

So police statements are given under oath?

No, but they're legally about the same, which is why statements given to the police are considered admissible testimony in court.

Also, try lying to the police in a statement to them, and see if you don't suffer consequences amazingly similar to those for perjury in court.

Well, in that case, we don't even need a trial!

You are brilliant! This will save us so much money in court costs!

Interesting that it’s not his whole face but only “the side of his face” — probably the left side of his face where his left arm was holding the kid by the neck.

> Witnesses say otherwise”

I once had hundreds of illegal immigrants lie to me on ONE case, many using multiple ID’s. Witnesses often lie when it’s to their benefit. You have to do your homework then backup to look at what the evidence says and see who and what looks credible before you can really give n informed opinion.

Why don’t you wait for other than what has been released by the police dept— which I cite?

Lot’s of people on here are armchair yakkers. The injury is cited, carefully without regard to the facts which will become pertinent on investigation.

I’m not trying to hang anyone....I’m saying based on the 4 facts we know it already looks like a bad shoot.....

According to the police:

Brown had no record

Brown was attempting to flee.

Brown was unarmed.

Brown was shot multiple times.

You know, there are many responses that could have been given to my comment, which was a simple statement of fact.

You're is probably the least intelligent and most emotionally-driven of them all.

Apparently not all witnesses agree.

You misunderstand her statement. She is saying that they were wrestling --

Yes, and Quannell X the rabble-rouser, the NAACP, the MSM and the Attorney must feel proud.

I have no idea what you're arguing, but guilt by association is a fallacious argument.

Say Quannell X the rabble-rouser, the NAACP, the MSM and the Attorney (?) all agree wife beating is bad. If you agree with them that it is bad, does that mean I should conclude that you agree with EVERYTHING these people say? Clearly not, yet that is what you are implying. Will you support wife beating simply because they oppose it? Probably not.

Please debate arguments, don't attack people.

That includes getting shot by the cops.

He’s livin’ the dream.. or something.

So you’ve seen mine, huh? Lighten up, bub. So what? Welllll... that makes a TV station’s report a clever wording of absolutely... nothing of provenance, where indeed there may be quite a bit. So the morons in social media will soon take over in the agitation department.
