As far as Baden's statement, he does not know if Brown was charging the cop, he is going by the statement Johnson made IMO.
I agree we need to wait, but I feel as if there is a lot more to this story, especially given Johnson contends Brown was shot first in the chest BEFORE they started to run, and then in the back.
The police also say he was shot while at the car. I think thats as far as we can go with accuracy with Johnson. I think he was pretty much in shock after that first shot. The womens story is pretty close to his but fits the autopsy to a tee.
Yes, I suppose he could be in shock. I still think there is more to this story. I agree there are racists. There are racist cops too, but I don't think this is racism, the robbery plays into this somehow.
But I find it strange this cop would decide to execute a man in the middle of a busy neighborhood.
What I might see is the cop stopped them.
Brown thought he may be wanted for the robbery, they smarted off to the cop.
The cop tried to exit the vehicle- something happened. ( I don't believe he accidently feel backwards as Johnson contends) (Are their any witnesses who state they say the cop car driving in reverse almost running the two over? I may be unaware of these.)
The shot took place in the vehicle, Brown may have been grabbing for the weapon.
The cop grabbing Brown through the window sounds a little ridiculous if you ask me, especially given Brown's size, he could escape just about anyone. Unless the cop is a massive dude too.
The cop either lost it because it scared the shit out of him and he fired far too many times and was unprofessional leading to a dead kid.
Or there was a longer altercation and Brown charged the cop or as I said above the cop lost his bearing and over reacted.
I've witnessed the cops do this twice. Once when I was 10 and later at 17. They lied both times and said it looked like the people they killed had a gun when they both clearly had their hands in the air. I dont trust cops as far as I can kick them. I expect them to lie and the department to back them up.
