It's almost like he was in shock after having rounds pumped through his body and knowing that his life was probably ending right there, right?
Yeah, it's hard to tell what is going on there. Although, it does prove the cops cherry picked footage, would be nice to see the whole unedited version.
Or maybe he was charging at the officer.

I went to bed shortly after the police dispersed the first crowd. The news group reported them raising a building and noises in the distance.
Did anything significant happen afterwards? What about those shots that were fired?

I can't hear the part where he says he kept coming toward him though.
I'm getting most of this info from Greg Thomas' timeline:

Based on that, Brown didn't show ID but left the money on the counter, according to someone he is retweeting.

The shop owner never even called the police about it.
Possibly, I was thinking that, he may of thought by coming toward the cop with his hands up the cop would stop shooting him. I don't know the whole thing sounds strange.
I already know that but has the shop owner said what happened. Clearly he went after them and said something and then he was pushed.

Which is why the officer then waited an hour to call in the shooting, never called for an ambulance or back-up, never filed an incident report and then bolted from town.
Sounds plausible...
Even after listening to the audio, that is the strangest thing about this. The witness does talk about the officer having his gun trained on Brown and Brown still approaching. He does mention that he thought the cop was missing then, but as you mentioned, shots were fired and the witness still thought they were missing because he still kept coming towards him.
Possible account, but if it is determined that he really was shot in the back, that would blow apart that entire version of the events.
The bigger problem, again, is that this narrative is the path of least resistance for an officer in a situation like this. "He was charging for me, I had to shoot" is literally an open and shut case. I find it very, very hard to believe that Ferguson PD could be so incompetent that this wouldn't have been their first depiction of the events.
Edit: Oh man, regardless on whether or not he had ID, if he at least left the money for it, that may change things on whether or not this was robbery in connection with the cigs or assault, especially depending on what the store owner actually asked him about (if he asked him about taking the cigs or requiring ID, that is one thing; if he asked him about something else entirely, then from a technical standpoint, he did not forcibly steal the item).
Is that the current police narrative? Hard to keep track.
I read he didn't have to because another customer is the one who called the police. Thats how the police after all knew about it.
Twittersphere saying he had no ID. Plus, I think Johnson might be underage so that might explain why they didn't call police and why their lawyer had no comment when asked if it was a robbery. Shit wasn't worth the trouble.
But yeah, I've been wondering what happened to that whole box of cigs.
There is no narrative because they aren't telling one anything about it.
Which is why I have a hard time believing the "Brown was charging the officer while being shot" story, because if that was the case, they would be screaming it off the mountain tops.

It's OK though because there are plenty of "concerned citizens" out there creating a narrative for them.
One question I have though is when was the police report for the shoplifting written? When Zoe posted it earlier in the thread it already had Brown and his friends names in the report. How was it possible that they knew that information unless the report was written after the shooting?
Yes, he never called anyone to report the shooting until an hour later and a huge crowd had already formed.

Can you really question that though when there are 4 eye witness to the event, and one of them was even a guy live tweeting out...
Need time to rehearse your version of events.

That's pretty damn strange alone in itself.

did anyone video record the incident? Why live tweet when recording would be better.

I never really followed the Trayvon aftermath closely, but following this situation for like a week now...it's really been eye-opening, disturbing, and sad.
Seeing how they're trying so hard to change the narrative, paint Brown one way to validate what happened, and twist public opinion, it's just sick.
Imagine if they had released that above video first?

Trayvon was even worse because everyone was harping on him getting suspended and smoking some weed.
They also reported the jewelry and burglary tools in his backpack that was part of his suspension.
Zimmerman did say the kid was walking close to homes.
Again, these were things reported from the case.
What? That's super shady.
Trayvon was not on trial.
Maybe they are waiting until the full investigation is complete. Or they could do like the internet and guess based on pieced together 'facts'.
Look I was just stating what came out , someone said earlier they hadn't heard some points of that case. I posted them.
I neither supported one side or the other.

Wasn't it just a screwdriver?
But can't you say it's happening on the opposite side too. Painting him as a modern day Fat Albert, when he might have been more like a... Was there an evil Fat Albert, or any type of fat bully in a African-American cartoon? Maybe on Wayne Head?

Trying to setup the possibility that he would be the type of person that would try to wrestle the gun from a cop.
Lol I understand. Was just asking because I never heard that used before.
Lol I keep a small "burglary tool" on my keys then.

Shoplifter to possible cop killer? This really gives me a lot of insight into how hopeless this situation is. There's like no chance of this family seeing justice in this case.
