Breaking: Michael Brown Allegedly Involved in Second Degree Murder Case

So now you are posting things to back up your version of the story that you want to be true, that you don't believe? How does that make ANY sense? That is almost the definition of blind faith right there.

And your story that you posted sounds nothing like the story of the gun shots in question on the recording. The story states that the gunshots heard on the audio came from the exact same position, within 3 feet.....the story you have from an eye witness says the officer chased with the first 2 shots, which the audio says 6 shots were initially fired, then backed away firing a barrage or shots, which the audio says is 4 more.

So how do we go from 2 to 6, from expert analysis saying in one place, to backing away and continuing to fire more shots and Brown dropping 25 feet from where he was first hit?

This is a simple case of a community sticking to itself, lying to the press and being pressured by others to make it out as if the officer was in the wrong. Love how all these "eye-witnesses" come out after the fact.....maybe they all had a town hall meeting to get the story straight in between the incident and finally reporting it, or maybe they didn't.

Either way, regardless of what anyone WANTS done, no charges have been filed and likely the officer will be cleared after the investigation is over.

What is my version of events? You seem to be drawing a line in the sand and grouping people on one side or the other. I care about the facts in the case, not a particular side. It is simply another - outside the community, allegedly - witness who corroborates much of what other witnesses have said.

It's not just from this witness account that Wilson followed Brown and fired at him while Brown was running. That is the account of law enforcement authorities to the New York Times. It is not in dispute by anyone who has been following this case, regardless of what the audio analysis of echos from a single microphone supposedly suggests.

Wilson was the one shooting, not Brown. There's no way to analyze from the audio how far away Brown was. The analysis depends on the percussion from the gun firing and the echo effect from surrounding buildings. How far could Wilson have backed up while shooting over the course of a couple of seconds, tops?

The police do this frequently. If it's okay for them to do it, why not the community? Of course, that's simply speculation on your part - most witnesses gave statements rather quickly after the shooting, either to the media or to the police. Although, they may not have been looking too hard for statements given how long it took them to question Johnson or hell, even take Brown's corpse off the street.

That last part is probably true regardless of whether or not Wilson murdered Brown. The prosecutor's father was a cop who died in the line of duty. He wanted to be a cop, but couldn't. Kind of a sympathetic voice there.
