MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #13

[cady]

WOW you guys have some eagle eyes.

Are we sure that the thing on the ledge of the car is blood? Also, someone mentioned this earlier - so is that trail on the yellow line blood droplets?

In this same video at 00:41 What is the object 3 to 5 feet away from MB's head.?? This is what I thought was his CAP. Later, the cap is seen near the SUV. What's the deal? JMO

Everyone needs a coach to go over the game plan...IMO.

MTE. And the fact that they were all congregating together doesn't add to their credibility IMO.

I mean C'mon...who hasn't stood around after something has happened in their neighborhood and compared what they "saw?" And how many times have those stories ended up being a compilation of what everyone "witnessed?"

If not, it is in Ocean's post at 134 from 11:29 am today. At 1:57 you need to freeze it.
Does it look like it's on the ground by the passenger side, or on a running board to you? Thanks!

Who is the guy in the green? He is in all of the pictures with the witnesses... I don't want a name just wondering if he is LE or family/friend.

All posts are MOO

That is Anthony Shahid, he is a local activist. See he was involved early on.

Here he is standing next to New Black Panther leader, Hashim Nzinga when they took over the Chief of Police press conference.
You can see him at the 4:05 mark (he's the one wearing the hat with a star and has ropes and chains around himself)

That's what makes this whole thing really smell rotten.

Many of the witnesses you see all over the news were on that same grassy area together in many photos, including MBs mom, Tiffany, Piaget, DJ and the man in the green.

Indeed...if I have to try and put a nice spin on the witnesses, I would say they all gave accounts in an effort to support Mike's mother. I don't think Tiffany or Piaget saw a thing, I question how much of Dorian's account is true. I question if he didn't flee around a building once the altercation started. Not once have I seen an episode of any police reality TV where one dude stood there like a wallflower when action starts. Perhaps there were occupied cars in that street, perhaps Dorian saw the whole thing, I don't know for a fact either way. I know I'd love to interview him myself.

Thanks for putting the picture up. That is what I saw and thought it was possibly blood.

I watched it last night and decided it was a cone showing from the underside of the SUV

 

[Truthy]

You have to remember that the press is really in the entertainment business. Viewers like to watch video of conflict and violence, they tend to switch channels when you show people calmly working together to solve a problem.

Even though I think many reporters had good intentions, much of importance gets edited out, IMHO. And if you follow any true crime, it is astounding at how many details they get wrong, and how much gossip gets passed along and discussed as fact.
You really cannot rely on the news these days. MOOOOOOOO.

You are absolutely correct. There are no running boards on that vehicle.

I think it is an illusion created by trying to fog out the blood pool and the officer walking in the background reflecting off the blood (sorry to be graphic). Watch first 12 seconds of video here...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-show-the-moments-after-michael-browns-death/

New video without fog between 0:58 and 1:28...(also note comments by Piaget and Tiffany during video)

Yep - in taking another look at this, I agree with the poster who said it was likely a cone showing through from the other side. Time for me to move along!

O/T - move along I shall - just had a friend call with 2 extra tickets to 3 Seconds of Summer and One Direction - my 9 year old daughter just nearly wet her pants - off to get ready!!!

The blood is in the CNN video- at exactly 1:57, it goes quick, so you have to pause it there. It is on the ledge thingey that is like a step at the bottom of the door. It looks like the door was open when it dripped there, and there would be some inside also.

All I see is the edge of the bottom of a cone on the ground, not a running board. JMO

I have no idea about running boards, but I'm not sure that is even OW's truck. I think his might be behind that one and the cones are on the passenger side of the one in the foreground and the driver's side on OW's truck.

 

[Truthy]

Yeah, in the video it looked like maybe, but in the pic in post #154, it looks like blood is on the ground, near the passenger side, and no running board. IMHO. That is unexpected.
Really need to know a lot more to even guess how that could be.

That is an orange cone.

Are you trying to link a different video? Yours isn't good :dunno:

Ocean's vid seems to be showing the cone visible through the undercarriage of the car.

Eta:

What I'm trying to ask is did you try to link a video with a different perspective.

 

[Truthy]

He is just another in a long line of leaders who have pandered to the black community for support, who then ignored those communities until the next need for support comes around. But we can't just blame leadership, there are groups who divert their eyes to the problem and who continue to put these leaders in place time and time again. Real leadership sometimes requires tough love, expecting personal responsibility and self reliance, and saying no. Those who have suggested those things have been labeled and dismissed.

I think people do a lot more than what is presented widely in the media. So people aren't aware, and assume.

I thought it was interesting when one of the experts they talked to in that interview said something to the extent of "in some departments, police are trained to keep shooting up the body until they reach the head. Really? Is that true? I had always heard that shooting center mass was the most effective way to stop someone coming at you. Any "gun people" who can confirm/deny that?

Wow. I would have thought they wouldn't want to kill a person even if they are a suspect or whatever. I'd think they would want to eliminate the threat by disabling them, at least if they're "unarmed". I can see that being the case if they are armed, for sure. Interesting.

Nope, same video as post #134. You are right, relooking at it, you can see from the front passenger wheel and silouette of undercarriage, there is no running board.

But the window is up, and the door shut, none of which makes sense, IMHO - if it is even the correct car. Really hoping the crime scene is not compromised!
