@MichaelSkolnik: Ferguson police are only ones saying #MikeBrown stole something from store. Parents went to store + workers said they never called police.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@MichaelSkolnik: Question for police: If there was an alleged "scuffle" in police car, was there a camera in the car, and if so, was it recording? #MikeBrown

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@AntonioFrench: Rumor spreading through the crowd that the kid who was with #MikeBrown was found dead. This has NOT been confirmed. Anyone know anything?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@AntonioFrench: Another woman says she talked to the ibis family and that it is true that the other boy is dead. Anger is rising here.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@AntonioFrench: Activist Anthony Shahid has gone with police to the scene. He confirms IT IS NOT THE WITNESS in the #MikeBrown case. The rumor is FALSE.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@MichaelSkolnik: Press conference is over. Important to note: NO mention of #MikeBrown stealing ANYTHING from ANY store. #Ferguson http://twitter.com/MichaelSkolnik/status/498487611963744256/photo/1

Not sure what's going on with this. The police said he pushed a cop back into his car, struggled for the cop's gun, and a shot was fired inside the car. Had he been killed there, it would be open and shut. But from the news article I read, he was shot from approximately 35 feet away, and possibly as many as 8 times. I'll be curious what comes out in the next few days, because the details don't make sense right now.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I know someone who was actually there. Can't wait to see if the real details are released or covered up.

And witnessed the entire thing from start to finish?

I have kids around this age, Lord have Mercy upon us All.

And witnessed the entire thing from start to finish?

 

Which is huge either way. 

 

I can't tell how many times I have heard that a witness "saw the whole thing" and then start giving a statement like, "I heard a loud crash and ran around the corner to see.............." or "I heard three quick shot and ran outside to see...........".

 

My answer is always, "No, you didn't see the whole thing". Most of the time they want to argue but it really doesn't matter in the long run. What they did see might still be very important but it will never be front the start and likely will not show the cause. So many of our witnesses start their story with hearing a noise (gun shot, crash, yelling, etc.) and then looked to see what was happening.

@FOX2now: Situation in #Florissant escalating. Unconfirmed reports that protestors are damaging police cars. #STL #MikeBrown

[thetragichippy]

There is no way ANYONE could possibly know what happened unless you were with either party. I have spent a good 45 minutes reading several articles and the comments that follow. The comments are all the same (cops are evil), but every story is different. Not one person has said let the investigation take place, they are wanting the police officer prosecuted tomorrow at 10am......or sooner

[Chester86]

Mr B.G. just curious why the constant updates on the happenings in Missouri; what is the reason for the flood of posts. There are always 2 sides to every story.
