So I reread the NY times article on this story from 2 days ago, Aug 11, from which I post the following excerpt, which reports 1 eyewitness. The most important part is this, which STARTED THE WHOLE THING. Why are the police approaching these 2 guys in their police car, anyway? They're just WALKING. A man was executed in cold blood by a "peace officer" because he was WALKING. aND STILL, NO ARREST. Heinous.
NY TIMES excerpt: ... "with MSNBC, Dorian Johnson, a friend of Mr. Brown’s, gave a description of the shooting. He said that he and Mr. Brown had been walking in the street when an officer drove up and told them to get onto the sidewalk. The two stayed in the street after telling the officer that they were close to Mr. Johnson’s house. The officer, who had passed them, then backed up, almost hitting them in doing so. He then tried to open his door, which hit Mr. Brown, and when the door bounced shut, the officer reached out and grabbed Mr. Brown.
“Mike was trying to get away from being choked,” Mr. Johnson told MSNBC. At that point, he said, the officer pulled a gun and fired, striking Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown “did not reach for the officer’s weapon at all,” he said."
Again, I quote from this eyewitness : "Brown had been walking in the street when an officer drove up and told them to get onto the sidewalk."
I am absolutely sure that as a middle aged white woman, I would never be murdered in this manner, even if I argued and resisted arrest.
