If a mod finds this stuff worthy of OP, here it is.

I compiled a list of videos and witness accounts to hope that helps people narrow in this piece of information since some come in without really knowing just how many witnesses have a similar story:
Michael Brown's friend who was with him, Dorian Johnson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQeni0qt8Vo)
Tiffany Mitchell (http://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word-...o-brown-shooting-tells-her-story-318326851993)
Piaget Crenshaw (http://www.ksdk.com/videos/news/local/2014/08/13/14007133/)
Guy, no name given (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfy5FiqzWHI)
Bruh, tweets immediately after shooting (https://twitter.com/7im/timelines/499639344613695488)
Woman, no name given (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qo14KOcQxw)

The already linked autopsy info:

Good collection here
 
From NYT article:

“We need more information; for example, the police should be examining the automobile to see if there is gunshot residue in the police car,” he said.

I heard Wilson left the scene in his vehicle. If this is true, that vehicle is evidence, which he left the scene in. Wouldn't that fuck up the whole chain of custody? Wouldn't there be a whole host of charges like leaving the scene of a crime and tampering with evidence?
 
I heard some report that Brown was running toward the officer, and the officer unloaded on him to try to stop him.

However, looking at those wounds, I don't think you're going to be charging at someone after getting shot in the chest and arms unless you pumped up with some type of drug.

Also the guy got shot in the fucking eye. I couldn't even imagine identifying my kid's body with a fucking hole in his face. Fucking awful way to see a loved one.
 
I just pop out the player at the bottom right, cuz the hell with those morons.

If this is how the police in #Ferguson behave when they know the world is watching, what do they do the rest of the time?
 
It was someone from the crowd talking to them who said that. It's NOT confirmed.
MSNBC had a guest on about 15-20 minutes ago describing the police actions, including sting-balls and paddy-wagons and arrests - he also mentioned that if there were rounds fired from the protestors, that police rifleman would pick up on those muzzle flashes and fire their rifles in response.

He didn't mention rubber bullets or whether he meant live rounds - just said that the police would fire their rifles if they were under fire.
 
Guise, guise... do we know for a fact that the kid wasn't a zombie? I mean two headshots even after hitting him four times? Sounds like a double-tap to me to be brutally honest. Just trying to be objective here.
 
What happened today that got everyone so riled? Last night the crowd was small, and the Police were incredibly restrained in their response.
