Grand Jury Witness: Michael Brown Did Not Have His Hands Up (UPDATED)

UPDATES:

Police officer who shot Michael Brown in Ferguson MO told investigators he was pinned in vehicle and feared for his life…

‘Brown reached for gun’…

Evidence ‘does not support civil rights charges’…

Never let the facts get in the way of a racial brawl.

From St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A stream of eyewitnesses has been testifying in secret before a grand jury considering whether to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown near the Canfield Green apartments in Ferguson.
One Canfield resident — who said he saw the killing of Brown from start to finish and talked to the grand jury recently — has given the Post-Dispatch an account with some key differences from previous public statements from other witnesses.
Among the recollections of the witness, who agreed to an interview on the condition that his name not be used, were:
• After an initial scuffle in the car, the officer did not fire until Brown turned back toward him.
• Brown put his arms out to his sides but never raised his hands high.
• Brown staggered toward Wilson despite commands to stop.
• The two were about 20 to 25 feet apart when the last shots were fired.
He would not detail what he had told the grand jury but said the members seemed fair and asked a lot of questions.

The stupid-assed “hands up, don’t shoot” crap is another one of those snarky little hashtag memes concocted by thugs and their leftie agitators. It sells T-shirts, becomes fodder for rap, it’s used as a ‘troof ta powa’ chant, and choreographed as maudlin sophomoric tripe for ‘social justice’.

Brown had just robbed a store and assaulted the clerk just minutes before he was stopped by the cop, whom he also assaulted before he was shot. He had a juvenile arrest record which involved being named in a second degree murder case, but a judge refused to release it.

Apparently, dead black juvenile delinquents are more privileged than dead white juvenile delinquents:

No one else has standing to keep those documents privileged and confidential except Brown who is dead. There is, in fact, Missouri Supreme Court precedent that confirms that the moment Brown died his juvenile records revert to public documents.

The facts of the case are eerily similar to those that took place with Brown and Ferguson. William L. Halstead, a white, 18-year-old stole a packet of cigarettes. A security guard beat him so hard he broke his neck, became paralyzed, and died 19 days later. Halstead’s juvenile arrest record was released as part of a wrongful death suit filed by his family, much to their protestation. It went to the appellate court held and then stopped. Later the Missouri Supreme Court adopted the appellate court’s reasoning in a case in 1990 (State v. Mahurin).

So why won’t the St. Louis County court follow the Missouri Supreme Court?

Why is that the records of dead blacks cannot be released but those of dead whites may be—at least according to the St. Louis County?

What could be more racist?

Justice is about developing standards and those standards must endure for all time, in all places, and ought to govern all citizens.

A pattern was established in the juvenile records of both Brown and Halstead.   Both had adopted criminal activity as a lifestyle, but in the case of Brown, his was withheld under the accusation of “racism” and manipulated for political convenience by vile little turds like Al Sharpton.
