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."

> spoken like a lawyer —
spoken like a truth seeker not a race baiter. I’m not siing with a white cop who may have used excessive force but we don’t know all the facts yet.
No I have not made up my mind I’m going off of what the police chief has said on the record.
You missed how the game is played.
You walk in the street. If anyone honks at you, you have to attack them.
Just pick the "eyewitness" accounts we choose to believe and we're done.
And where is the Democratic Missouri governor here? He’s asleep at the switch.
He probably was told to do so, by his DNC Masters, just like Governor Blank-Oh was told by them to do nothing so they could blame Katrina on Bush.
It’s never a good idea to flee from an officer if he’s “interviewing” you or doing a Terry frisk. I do understand the black perspective of white police officers but in all honesty many blacks are stopped because they are engaging in illegal or suspicious the activities given the reputation of neighborhoods they’re in and the time of day they’re there. Officers get to know where all the meth labs and crack houses are, where the prostitutes hang out, who operates underground gambling enterprises from their vice and narcotics squads so if they’re on patrol and they see Darrius Demetrus Davis walkk up to a crack house door they probably know why he’s there.
P.S. I hate autocorrect and small keyboards. It’s a wonder I can type at all...
That a lot of writing and not a word about your gullibility, which
Is what I posted about.
“Apparently the officer has significant and noticeable injuries to his face.”
Doesn’t matter if he had a broken arm..... the subject ran, the officer was no longer in physical danger. If the subject did turn and have his arms in the air & wasn’t advancing toward the officer and was unarmed, it’s homocide. The cop can’t just shoot him dead.
Doesn’t matter what time of day in some places?
And you think THAT isn’t mincing words AND crab walking?
How about you stick to the facts....broad daylight... middle of the day...
Thank you for clearing that up, tell the idiot that posted it too
It isn’t Michael Brown, you are dead wrong and should be ashamed
Nigerian email scam = a reference to gullibility
That is not a valid link. Can you please provide a good link and search terms?
No. You are not correct and apparantly don’t care about being accurate. Again, I have told you before, get lost
Oh, I did.
It is actually not Michael Brown, it is some dude on the west coast who killed a 71 year old, humblegunner was just being provocative
What? Was Michael Brown 3 feet tall?
