This is actual witness testimony, given under penalty of perjury, which supports Wilson's version of events. It is quite telling to know that there are those on the left who choose to ignore the testimony put before the Grand Jury. Now, read this in all of its grim prominence:
Grand Jury Testimony, Volume 18 November 3, 2014
Page 27-32
p.27
MR. Okay. And at some point then do you see the police officer get out of the vehicle?
Witness: Yeah, you seen the officer hop out of his cruiser and he is running behind and he's yelling stop. Then Michael turned around and started charging towards the officer and the officer still yelling stop. He did have his firearm drawn, but he was yelling stop, stop, stop. He didn't, so he started shooting him.
MR. All right. So the police officer was yelling at him multiple times to stop?
Witness: Yes.
MR. At any time the police officer was yelling stop as he's charging at him, did Michael Brown stop?
Witness: He slowed down, I thought he was going to stop, but he kept charging towards him. Like he slowed down for a second and then he started running again. Like he put his hand up in the air like, he put his hands up and then he put his hand like in front of him like this way.
MR. Let's talk about this, you say he started to put his hands up?
Witness: Yes.
p. 28
MR. Michael Brown did?
Witness: Yes.
MR. But then he pulled his hands down and you demonstrated that you kind of had a fist in front of you like at your chest height?
Witness: Right.
MR. And can you describe, he had his hands at his chest?
Witness: His hands were balled up. He has his arms bent towards his chest and he's running like, you know, almost like a tackle running.
MR. Okay.
Witness: And I see him shoot him. I don't know, he wasn't going to stop. I don't know how many times he shot him altogether, but like you seen like one of the bullets hit him in the face, cause you seen like the splatter from it. I'm sorry, it distracted me for a second.
MR. I understand, I understand. You say it didn't look like Michael Brown was going to stop.
Witness: NO.
MR. He wasn't going of his own volition going to stop?
p. 29
Witness: He was running, he slowed down, and then he kept running and he shot him and was like for a second he kind of like slowed down and staggered. He kept charging, so he shot him again.
MR. All right. You said that the police officer was at that time telling him to stop?
Witness: Yes.
MR. Repeatedly. You said that in your statement on August 14th that referring to Michael Brown you said the boy wouldn't stop, he fired three rounds, that would be the police officer?
Witness: Right, he fired the three rounds first.
MR. And the dude kept running and the police, you say the police officer fired four more rounds?
Witness: Yes.
MR. Does that sound about right?
Witness: Yes.
MR. And then he finished off the rounds and he fell on the ground, Michael Brown fell on the ground?
p. 30
Witness: Right.
MR. How did he fall, did you see him fall?
Witness: If you were in a standing position, he kind of stopped and he kind of like started to lean forward like this and then he kind of fell on his knees and smacked the ground on his face.
MR. So he fell face first?
Witness: Yes.
MR. And when he was laying there on the ground, he was laying face first on the ground?
Witness: Yes.
MS. You indicated again, just for the tape, you were standing up just now. You had your right hand down near your waistband area and your left arm was sort of hanging down loose, is that how you recall it?
Witness: No, that's just how I was standing.
MS. Okay, that's good. Do you recall sort of what his hands were doing?
Witness: When he went from running with his hands balled up like this.
p. 31
MS. His hands up by his chest?
Witness: Yeah, he just kind of like stopped and was standing there, and he kind of just fell forward.
MS. Okay.
MR. As Michael Brown was running away from the police officer, from the police car, did you see the police officer shoot at him at all at that time?
Witness: No, he did not fire at him.
MR. How about, you said that when Michael Brown turned around, he briefly, looked like he briefly started to put his hands up?
Witness: Right.
MR. Was the police officer shooting at him at that time?
Witness: No.
MR. When did the police officer start shooting at him after the first two shots in the car?
Witness: Um, it took him a minute to fire at him for real. I probably would have shot him instantly you charge at me like that, but when he was running back he was screaming stop, stop.
p. 32
Witness (Cont'd): And the officer was backing up as he kept coming closer to him and he didn't stop. So he shot him three times and he was still charging towards him and he shot him again, shot him four more times.
MR. Okay. So the police officer didn't start shooting again until Michael Brown was actually charging at him?
Witness: Right.
MR. As the police officer was yelling for him to stop?
Witness: Right.
MR. You say he's actually backing away from Michael Brown?
Witness: Right.
