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."

Let me guess...overtaken in Juarez, Mexico as you made a good run but too slow. That about it?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.If,by chance,you're referring to my willingness to give cops the benefit of the doubt that willingness does *not* extend to Mexican police.I've never set foot in Mexico and never will (unless I'm kidnapped and taken there).Among the top 100 reasons why I've never had a desire to go there is because of the absolute and complete corruption of every aspect of Mexican government...including police,lawyers,judges and juries.

Like I said, you are going to save us so much money because we don't need trials anymore. Just pick the "eyewitness" accounts we choose to believe and we're done.

Ahem. You didn't answer my question. Try again?

He obviously wanted the “thug life”. That includes getting shot by the cops. He’s livin’ the dream.. or something.

He was probably a blogger, too. Bonus points!

How am I doing that? By pointing out two obvious and everyday legal facts that you were, nevertheless, unaware of?

Your ignorance is not my problem, son. It's yours.

You would be an expert on ignorance.

I wouldn’t walk into certain parts of Los Angeles, Flint (MI) or Detroit during the day.

You can be 90% sure that when a thread runs over 200 posts,
there’s a “pissin’ match” going on.

Thank you all for your responses. I hadn’t heard these descriptions previously. I hope the actual truth comes out and the cop will either be found innocent or guilty based on the actual truth. I fully support policemen and know that they often have very difficult jobs but there are, unfortunately, a few rogue cops out there. I’m hoping this isn’t one of them, but only time and truth will tell. I also hope all the violence and destruction ceases and no more lives are lost.

Exactly. You are gullible. That’s what I said. Rather than address why you are so gullible, you resorted to attacking me.

So, I ask, why are you so gullible? Is there anything on the internet that doesn’t look “official” to you.

This is purely in reference to your willingness to pass the bogus Michael Brown arrest record as true. Even after being told that it is not.

There appears to be a juvenile record for Saint Michael at casenet.mo.gov.

That is not a valid link. Can you please provide a good link and search terms?

I want to know where you got this picture. It’s not MB, it is Joda Cain.
