Video Shows Moments After Michael Brown Shooting: ‘He Had His F***ing Hands Up’
In a newly released video, two men describe an unarmed teenager with his hands up in the air as he’s gunned down by a police officer. According to CNN, they men were contractors doing construction work in Ferguson, Missouri, on the day Michael Brown was killed, standing just 50 feet away from where Darren Wilson gunned down the unarmed teenager.
[su_center_ad]A cell phone video obtained by CNN, captures their reactions during the moments just after the shooting.
“He had his f**n hands up,” one of the men can be heard saying in the video.
The man said he heard one gunshot, then another shot about 30 seconds later.
“The cop didn’t say get on the ground. He just kept shooting,” the man said.
That same man said he saw Brown’s “brains come out of his head,” again stating, “his hands were up.”
According to what the other contractor told CNN, Brown running away from a police car.
Brown “put his hands up,” the second witness said, and “the officer was chasing him.”
He said he saw Wilson fire a shot at Brown while his back was turned.
Other witnesses have also said the teen’s arms were in the air when he was shot down.

And they’re white ,so how’s faux news going to spin this one?
Linda1961 September 11th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
Faux News will claim that they have white guilt.

It has been photo-shopped, obviously.

Bill O’Reilly will talk glowingly about all of the white policemen and women who didn’t shoot unarmed blacks?
Isiah Abraham September 13th, 2014 at 6:24 pm
You say, “And they’re white ,so how’s faux news going to spin this one?”
You comment brings up an interesting angle to this story . So let me ask you RJ, why do you think that these two “witnesses” just happen to be “white?” And why is it so important to you that they are “white?”

It’s telling that there is more evidence supporting the eyewitness accounts that Michael Brown was surrendering with his hands up, and none supporting accounts that Brown was charging at Darren Wilson, that Wilson suffered an orbital eye fracture blowout by Brown, and whatever else they pull from their nether regions.
Skydog2 September 11th, 2014 at 7:04 pm
Simply because Wilson’s defense team isn’t trying their case in the media doesn’t mean they have no evidence …….. or it might mean they have no evidence.

He is tacitly taking the fifth.

@@@NW10: You state: “It’s telling that there is more evidence supporting the eyewitness accounts that Michael Brown was surrendering with his hands up, and none supporting accounts that Brown was charging at Darren Wilson, that Wilson suffered an orbital eye fracture blowout by Brown, and whatever else they pull from their nether regions.”
Actually, one could argue that what is quite telling is that there is a cell phone video out there that accidentally captures a young man who appears to support Mr. Wilson’s account. This video was uploaded practically right after the incident, and yet, hardly a soul in the media is talking about it. Why? Being that that video was uploaded to Youtube immediately after the incident and not weeks later, one would think, that just for reasons of authenticity, it would be receiving more headline than this one. But yet,here we are with a video of questionable authenticity taking precedence and making headlines. Again,Why?
juicyfruityyy September 11th, 2014 at 5:00 pm
But still, cop Wilson remains a free man, with pay.
Tommy6860 September 11th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
And that’s the second most damnable aspect of this whole incident.
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker September 11th, 2014 at 7:37 pm
And ignorant idiots & bigots have raised over a half million dollars for the defense of a cop who murdered an unarmed teen.
Carla Akins September 11th, 2014 at 7:55 pm
White privilege, and the fear of losing it – raised that money.
tiredoftea September 11th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Where is the police statement about the progress of the investigation into this crime and where this video fits into it? Is there an investigation? Where are all the journalists clamoring for public records of Officer Wilson?
Skydog2 September 11th, 2014 at 7:05 pm
And where is the DOJ statement about the progress of the investigation?
mea_mark September 11th, 2014 at 7:11 pm
The DOJ is taking its time and doing it right.
Skydog2 September 11th, 2014 at 8:38 pm
Good. That’s how it should be done.
whatthe46 September 11th, 2014 at 11:09 pm
i think the DOJ is keeping their information close at hand from the FPD, which is a good thing. who are they to trust there.
burqa September 11th, 2014 at 11:07 pm
It would be a bad idea to announce conclusions before an investigation is completed. You are asking them to conduct a crappy investigation that plays to the crowd rather than sorting through the evidence and coming to a conclusion afterward.
Suzanne McFly September 11th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
This is ridiculous, every week there are new eyewitnesses that haven’t been heard from before. There is so much evidence, so many eyewitnesses, videos, and voice recordings of this shootings and they all incriminate Wilson, yet he walks free. This would not happen if Brown was white, Wilson would already have a trial set.
Obewon September 11th, 2014 at 8:54 pm
You’re correct but there are now two AG Holder DOJ investigations underway, plus at least one Grand Jury. Wilson’s indictments, trial and likely convictions appear to be inevitable.
Suzanne McFly September 11th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
I believe it will happen, I am just being unreasonably impatient, it just seems so obviously wrong and it is taking a long time for justice to work. I have faith and I believe this will all be resolved.
whatthe46 September 11th, 2014 at 11:07 pm
you are not being unreasonably impatient, especially when we get new reports that they (LE) should have had from moment one.
burqa September 11th, 2014 at 11:50 pm
Obewon, is it justice when we have guilt determined even as conflicting evidence comes in and 3 investigations have not been completed, but “convictions appear to be inevitable.”
Is that the American way of justice?
Or is it more a case of people using the justice system to score political points and reaffirming racial stereotypes?
whatthe46 September 12th, 2014 at 12:23 am
“Obewon, is it justice when we have guilt determined even as conflicting evidence comes in (with no assurance all the facts are yet known or all witnesses have been heard from) and 3 investigations have not been completed, but “convictions appear to be inevitable.”
*****
WOW! isn’t that what wilson did? he (brown) was guilty of what-the-fuck-ever, wilson decided he (brown) was found guilty of and on the spot and he (brown) was tried, convicted and sentenced to death in 3 mins. where was brown’s justice? wilson was the judge, jury and executioner. where was his citation for simply jay-walking?
Obewon September 12th, 2014 at 12:24 am
Burqa the right wing is desperate to falsely rationalize Darren Wilson’s summary execution of an unarmed teenage jaywalker -as admitted by the Ferguson Police Chief and witness statements: Michael Brown was executed because a Police car door bounced back at Wilson enraging him in an unprovoked attack.now authenticated gunshot Audio http://www.alan.com/2014/08/31/video-michael-brown-killing-on-audio-and-witness-statements/ And Two more eyewitness accounts http://www.alan.com/2014/09/06/bad-news-for-darren-wilson-more-witnesses-recall-michael-brown-shooting/
mea_mark September 11th, 2014 at 9:03 pm
Yeah, but, and it is a big but, if they are going after the whole department they have to get everything wrapped up all nice and pretty like like before they give away anything. The longer Wilson walks free the more the whole department will suffer the consequences of their actions.
Suzanne McFly September 11th, 2014 at 9:10 pm
That would be a beautiful thing.
whatthe46 September 11th, 2014 at 11:05 pm
they are looking worse each time someone new voices their version (in support of brown) especially when we find they were never interviewed. its a damn shame.
burqa September 11th, 2014 at 11:32 pm
Sorry, but they do not “all” incriminate Wilson.
What I find ridiculous is the way people never seem to learn to wait until all the facts are in before even beginning to form conclusions.
One would think the Duke lacrosse team rape case would have been enough embarrassment for some who jumped to conclusions immediately.
Me, I learned this lesson with the McMartin Preschool case.
What I am seeing is people willfully ignoring aspects that do not fit their narrative which is based on imagined stereotypes that get snapped into place like Lego blocks to each of these cases that arise.
People on the Right and Left fall right into predictable trenches before hardly any facts are in.
In any encounter between a white cop and a black person, the Left is going to argue the African American is innocent and the cop has 100% of the guilt and is racist, to boot. The Right will automatically defend the cop and slime the black person the same way the Left will slime the cop.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THE FACTS ARE!
The peer pressure on both sides is so great very few can resist.
So both sides proceed to ignore evidence that doesn’t fit their stereotype and bitch about the investigation, even as they give an example in what the investigation should not do by ignoring facts or allowing that eyewitness accounts are often faulty.
This case has lurched in all kinds of directions as details emerged. First it was the cop shooting a black guy in the back, then supposedly the cop had been assaulted. Then it appeared the victim was a thug who committed a strongarm robbery then it appeared the security video showed him paying for the cee-gars. The thing I find crazy is the way such details do not phase those who already decided what happened the day they heard of the case. Their opinion has not wavered, even as so-called “evidence” has, at different times, indicated drastically different stories.
burqa September 11th, 2014 at 11:42 pm
If a security video came out that showed Brown beating the cop to the ground with a baseball bat and then standing over the cop with an axe about to make mincemeat of him when the cop opens fire, plenty on the Left will claim Brown is the victim.
By the same token, if the same footage showed the cop hogtie Brown, suprglue him to the sidewalk and then shoot him in the back as he lay helpless, there are plenty on the Right who will say the cop is the victim.
What both have in common is they jump to conclusions before the facts are in and they only look at part of the story. What determines guilt or innocence for each side is the race of those involved, rather than the facts because both reach conclusions when they know the race, but before they have the facts.
I would think my comrades on the Left would have learned from the Duke lacrosse team case, but nooooooooo.
I can’t help but wonder why people don’t learn………………
whatthe46 September 12th, 2014 at 12:03 am
“If.” if if was a fifth, we’d all be drunk. your post is senseless considering that never happened. just like it never happened that this wilson/murdering/pos, was not hit in his face. even the chief said he knew nothing about any injury to this murderer. and that was days later after the murder. and then, the right and the racist are putting up “images” purporting it to be brown as a gang member, which wasn’t even him, then put up an image of wilson with a busted face and swollen eye, which wasn’t him. really. and you don’t think this has anything to do with racism. so, 50 black people can report the same thing that brown had his hands up, and you’d call them a liar. go figure.
Obewon September 12th, 2014 at 12:29 am

Whoa, where the hell did you go? “If a security video came out that showed Brown beating the cop to the ground with a baseball bat and then standing over the cop with an axe about to make mincemeat of him when the cop opens fire, plenty on the Left will claim Brown is the victim.”…..You just made up a lot of crap that has nothing to do with anything, it’s like me saying if the world was full of rainbows and unicorns we could all live in peace. None of that makes sense and when you are trying to make a point, it’s best to use facts. There are plenty of facts supporting Brown being gunned down in the street for jay walking and nothing factual supporting Wilson for his actions.
whatthe46 September 11th, 2014 at 11:55 pm
“Then it appeared the victim was a thug who committed a strongarm robbery then it appeared the security video showed him paying for the cee-gars.” your word “appeared.” and why was he a thug actually? did you even watch the video? a man was tased and thrown to the ground just for sitting in a public place waiting for his little ones getting out of school. he was black. he was asked why was he there and what his name was. even though he didn’t do a damn thing wrong. neither did he have to, by law, give his name or I.D. a white 18 y/o was walking in the streets of aurora CO while walking with his gun, open carry. people got concerned and called the police. they arrive and confronted him, asked him for is I.D. and he refused. they let him go. no tasing, no being thrown to the ground, no arrest, nothing. had that been a black male, DEAD ON THE SPOT!
whatthe46 September 12th, 2014 at 1:22 am
one other thing burqa: did you not hear about John Crawford III. black. he’d picked up a toy rifle (in wal-mart) and was carrying it with the barrel pointed at the floor. there son had no opportunity to put the toy down before he was shot on sight by a policeman. then you have 2 or 3 white guys in wal-mart, excercising their 2nd amendment right to open carry (in WAL-MART). customers were concerned and called the police. no shooting, not so much as anything remotely considered obstructing justice, conversation and release. why crawford? none is so blind as those who will not see. especially when it comes to biases, racism or discrimination. burqa, take off the blind fold.
whatthe46 September 12th, 2014 at 12:16 am
then there’s the black guy walking down the street that was pulled aside and arrested because he “fit” the description of a black guy who robbed a bank. nothing on him. no questioning him, no telling him why he was being arrested, nothing. held for 6 hours. the police didn’t even watch the video tape of the robbery. he is a producer/writer/director and an educated successful man with awards for his work. if the police were informed there’s a white serial killer in the area, how many of them (the police) would they stop given a description that “fit” the profile? NOT A DAMN ONE.
