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."

Not all, but too many.

Now, I played with your distraction.

Why do you insist that a cut, edit and paste police record “looks official”.

It’s a pretty simple question for an honest person.

See if any entered from the back ...

I am sure we will see you standing with AL Sharpton when he infects the neighborhood.

You missed how the game is played. You walk in the street. If anyone honks at you, you have to attack them.

Except no one has alleged that Brown was attacking horn-beepers or that he was even disrupting the flow of traffic.

Of course he wasn’t. Just Skittles and Iced Tea. That cop just randomly shot him for a goof.

>>>If these kids wouldn’t be out doing things they shouln’t or going into the bad parts of town or elements late at night this type of stuff would never have happened in the first place.

I'm sorry....but what a terrible...and dare I say un-American...thing to say.

As an American....and it doesn't matter WHO it is...if I want to be out at midnight...or 3 am...I have that right. If I'm out minding my own business in a public area...and something bad happens to me...THAT AIN'T MY FAULT.

What you are saying is like telling someone its their fault their car got stolen if they forgot to lock the door.

WRONG.

And yes, I am out regularly walking past midnight. I go on very long walks (at least 5 miles a day and 10 - 13 miles once a week) at night because its too hot to do it in the day here in SE TX. There's less traffic and its peaceful. If something happens to me...it ain't my fault. The responsibility lies with the person who did the illegal action.

Maybe you should tell that to Jim Robinson. humblegunner was one of the very few FReepers to join him on Texas/Mexico border recently.

Imagine a world where there’s common sense. A play where your brain tells you it’s not safe to wander into shared infested waters, to walk into gator infested swamps, or stick your heads into bee hives. There’s a book called “Whatever Happen (sic) to Common Sense” by a black guy named “E.T. Williams”. I like the guy. I suggest you read it.

I hate that Photobucket hosed all my pics on that thread.
Pretty much ruined it.

Although.. I figure it was all the views on that thread which put me over my limit.

Still.. bummer.
