Looks as if witness accounts of Michael Brown being murdered rather than the officer acting in self-defense are being corroborated:

New Michael Brown shooting witnesses describe scene - CNN.com

If it matters to the apologists, the two contractors were not from Ferguson and have no compelling personal interest in Michael Brown. Accordingly, they are both white.

They did not see what happened at the car.

Brown should have dropped to the ground.

Brown could have had his hands up....to go for Wilson's throat.

Lots of different eyewitness accounts in this case. Too bad the eyewitness accounts vary so much from each other.

The new witnesses said Brown was shot in the back. Didn't we have an autopsy? If you have the body in front of you, do we still need to hear witnesses account on where the bullet holes are?

"New Video Witness Accounts: Michael Brown "Had His {expletive} Hands Up!"

If you decide to either read the account or watch the video, you will hear witness accounts that Michael Brown was never ordered to the ground nor given the opportunity to drop to the ground. He was just shot repeatedly. Isn't the raising of arms the universal sign of surrender?

You do realize that 50 feet is not that far right? If you do not have exceedingly clear vision and sight comprehension at a 50 foot distance then you should not even by licensed to operate a vehicle!

You do realize that you left the other 2 little tidbits of info out of your post? Not only were these two supposed witnesses 50 feet away, they did not see the beginning of the incident. Now take into account the gunshots being fired. This fact says to me that they didn't see the middle or the end of the incident. I wasn't there but I know that if I hear gunshots I'm not standing up, looking around and trying to see where they came from.

As for your driving analogy, driving and seeing 50 feet ahead is pretty easy to do while not being stressed. Add gunshots to the mix and I'm not driving very well with my head under the dashboard.

The media and their yellow journalism strive for new lows every day. What's next Mr. Brown was going to win the Nobel peace prize or that a camera down the street caught him helping an old woman cross the street?

Well, can't forget MB also pummeled Wilson and broke his damn face. According to some reports Wilson was on the verge of unconsciousness. He probably thought MB was coming back for more in his injured-daze. I still commend Wilson's actions and am thankful he took another ugly thug out of the world.
