This shaky cell phone video captures two men raising their hands in the air, just moments after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, MO. Their gesture, experts say, could bolster arguments that Brown was surrendering when he was shot multiple times by officer Darin Wilson. The video obtained by the Associated Press shows two landscapers standing near the street where Brown was shot. In the video a man can be heard uttering a profanity, and saying "He had his hands in the air."
Maybe because it is a new video from Sept. 13.
New Witness Video Emerges in Ferguson Shooting
You must not have watched the video. You cannot understand what I am talking about unless you see the reactions of the two landscapers.
You are the one and only report I have heard thus far by anyone anywhere, indicating that he was 'freezing'. Everything I've read, heard, seen, or had mentioned, indicates he was moving TOWARD the officer.
If you see the landscapers reaction and hear just how one said, "He had his hands in the air!", the conclusion is that Brown was still when he was shot. No one would have those reactions if Brown had been charging the officer. But again, you have to watch the video several times to understand.
Again.... Did Brown attack the officer, yes or no? If yes, I don't care about anything else.
Did Brown move toward the police officer when the officer had his gun out? Yes or no? If yes, I don't care about anything else.
This guy needed shot, and society is better off without him alive.
