A Witness Conversation Unknowingly Captured at the Scene of the Ferguson Shooting is a Game-Changer
IJReview ^ | August 17, 2014 | Ed Itor

A A previously unnoticed detail in a background conversion of a video taken minutes after the Ferguson shooting could change the course of the investigation into Mike Brown’s death.

The original video poster appears sympathetic to the narrative that Mike Brown was shot unarmed with his hands in the air. But he unknowingly picks up conversation between a man who saw the altercation and another neighbor.

#1 How’d he get from there to there? #2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck {crosstalk} #2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him {crosstalk} #2 Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him – #1. Oh, the police got his gun #2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him {crosstalk} #2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing #1 The Police? #2 The Police shot him #1 Police? #2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”) This is terribly important because if Mike Brown had been shot, and he advanced towards the cop instead of surrendering, it would substantiate the narrative that the policeman shot in self-defense due to the fact that he was being threatened with severe bodily harm.

This corroborates an account of the event given by a friend of Officer Darren Wilson: Well, then Michael takes off and gets to be about 35 feet away. And, Darren’s first protocol is to pursue. So, he stands up and yells, “Freeze!” Michael and his friend turn around. And Michael taunts him… And then all the sudden he just started bumrushing him. He just started coming at him full speed. And, so he just started shooting. And, he just kept coming. And, so he really thinks he was on something.”

the officer was firing warning shots

Given that this was an area of apartments, that is doubtful.

very bad assumption...rule number 1, for all officers...under no circumstances do you let someone get to your firearm..especially fighting a suspect alone, with out back up.

"And, he just kept coming. And, so he really thinks he was on something."

Rushing a cop???? Superman Mikey Brown was on PCP, and that's why he wanted all those cigarellos.. To soak in PCP and sell them! Okay, I'm guessing but probably right.

My guess is the video surfaced well after the initial interview stage. As to why they did not interview him even absent having the video, can they practically interview everyone standing around the scene?

The catchphrase is relentless throughout the mainstream media:

Unarmed black teenager.

Unarmed black teenager.

Unarmed black teenager.

Unarmed black teenager.

What do you think the chances are finding this guy and getting him to testify — ‘bout zero — it was an overheard conversation — so I guess just someone standing around. DOJ probably has found him and told him to shut up.

I wonder how many people have been killed by unarmed black teenagers.

This will be denied later. Nothing like what the conversation seems to imply is allowed to be made known, as that destroys the narrative, and could hold the Holder Department of Just-Us up to ridicule and scorn, and that just cannot be allowed to happen.

And of course, the Ferguson police department kept changing the story, and released either way too much information, or not nearly enough.

Truth is racist. Is truth a hate crime?

Should the Obama/Holder Department of Just Us and Our People prosecute the publisher of this article?

Someone who is seriously drunk or on drugs feels no pain.

******************************************

PCPs will do that - unless you put a kill shot on them where the body literally cannot continue, they keep coming because they feel nothing.

Check out this .... part of a discussion we were having about Swisher Sweets being used to make ‘blunts’ & evidently they make other things too .....http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3193375/posts?page=148#148

Sounds like Big Mike was on something. Shades of Rodney King.
