Even if it’s true that Brown struggled with the officer for the gun, then ran. If he stopped, held his hands up, the next step was order him to his knees (one witness said he was on his knees), hands behind back, cuff him, and read him his rights.

Officers have to control their emotions. He’s not entitled to execute anyone, even if that idiot just tried to kill him, once they no longer pose an immediate threat of death (unarmed, following police orders).

Do you know what happened after the policeman and Michael scuffled? I don’t.

Since the witness, Johnson, who says Brown was on his knees, is the accomplice in the robbery, that account is seriously damaged.

There will be a lot of egg on faces with the video from the police car is released.

..one witness said he was on his knees..

Apparently the witness was the victim's buddy in the robbery.

The key eyewitness, however, is Brown’s companion, who was in on the robbery. Slam-dunk for officer Dennis Wilson’s defense.

I bet they didn’t know he was unarmed.

Possible scenario. Brown struggles with the cop in the car. There’s a shot inside the car, Brown gets out of the car unhurt. For all the nearby policeman know, Brown now has a gun and perhaps just shot their colleague with it.

Bang bang bang.

“If he stopped, held his hands up, the next step was order him to his knees (one witness said he was on his knees), hands behind back, cuff him, and read him his rights.”

That “witness” was part of the robbery. Kind of convenient?

The fact that Benjamin Crump has asked for a second autopsy means the first autopsy disproved that Saint Michael was on his knees with his hands in the air when the cop plugged him.

This whole thing is blowing up in the cop-haters' faces.
