We don't even know how the shots were fired, if shots were fired in a rapid burst, one shot could spin a person around so quickly that the next shot does hit them in the back or in the side.

Hopefully the cop car has audio and video, because otherwise we will never know. Hell, even the cop and the eyewitness may have trouble remembering exactly how things transpired.

Many carefully orchestrated tests have been made to create a tense emotional event similar to this, and then the eye witnesses are interviewed immediately afterwards, and then a few weeks later. They give conflicting testimony from other witnesses, and even gave testimony weeks later which contradicted their original testimony. So we need video or audio to help keep things straight.

That's not true.

The witness who live tweeted the whole ordeal never claimed Brown was shot in the back. That's more misinformation.

i want to know why a white cop would shoot recklessly at a fleeing unarmed suspect.


i do think it was put out to discredit him and to take the heat off the white cop who executed brown in cold blood.

The autopsy report got released last night...no bullets in the back; they all entered from the front. He was not "fleeing".

I am agreeing with you. That due to the fact he is black all the criminal activity does not apply

He could have fled before he was executed as witnesses claimed.

At this point who knows? Trajectory of shots fired should tell some of the story, especially either confirm or debunk the "on his knees" statements.

The officer in question is a decorated man. It's not consistent that we would have randomly killed the boy. What is consistent is that he felt the boy was a danger.

The point I'm making is that it's highly unlikely he shot Brown twice in the head while falling.

Dorian Johnson explicitly said Brown was shot in the back. His videotaped recount of the incident has been reported and played on television numerous times from many sources, including in a lengthy interview with Al Sharpton on CNN. Johnson lied.

The social media crowd has already put together their story based on the autopsy. Don't worry, he's still the victim of a brutal assassination by the White racist cop.

I suggest you go seek it out so you can defend him here with the talking points.
