Michael Brown

Michael Brown, 18-year old, made a choice to visit the store where a robbery took place, a call went out to the police, those circumstances escalated and ended Brown's life. Conflicting accounts surround what led to Brown's death. Police Chief Thomas Jackson of Ferguson, Missouri explained that the officer, Darren Wilson, unpublished at the time of his news conference, had been attacked by Brown in his cruiser. A fight for Wilson's gun ensued, and this is where the first shot rang out.

Micheal Brown did not touch Wilson's gun, and he "never attempted to grab" it, Dorian Johnson, Brown's, 22-year-old, friend and on the scene as the incident unfolded, reportedly. Johnson is the friend who was with Brown at the store as it was robbed, according to Johnson's attorney. 

Police Chief Jackson stated Wilson went to the area after a 911 call about the robbery. The 35-feet distance Brown was from Wilson's police car when shot has become an issue. The state of mind the officer had will play a role, Experts. Also, how far and the direction bullets came from will be factors. 

There were other witnesses to the encounter of Brown with Wilson. This particular witness heard a gun firing after seeing Brown pulling away from Wilson, Tiffany Mitchell. She stated that Brown faced Wilson with hands in the air.

 

A witness saw Brown running but he stopped, "hands in the air being compliant," Piaget Crenshaw. A 19-year-old who lives in the neighborhood. "He gets shot in the face" as well as the chest and tumbles to the ground.

Questionable decisions were made in 2014, August 9th. Brown was known to family and friends as "Big Mike." He was "just a sweet kid," Brown's cousin. Or, look at what the neighbor who knew him remarked, "a great kid," Markese Mull. Brown made choices that led to a tragic end, and sent a community into a downward spiral. 

Wilson is "gentle, quiet man" as well as "a distinguished officer." A friend of Wilson's shared information. The call of a strong arm robbery came to Wilson and a description, "Josie," Wilson's friend. Wilson notices Brown(them), cigars and "he pulled up ahead of them. Wilson goes backward towards them, moves to get out of his vehicle. His door is "violently" closed. Brown tries to force him into the car, "punches him in the face" and he grab for Wilson's gun.

Micheal Brown deserves to have the events of his death examined as whether or not his civil rights were violated. The family should be able to seek answers, and get them without someone whispering in their ears about a looting that was done in Brown's name. Criminals prey on the emotions of a community in the middle of a tragedy. Allow law enforcement to "serve and protect," and justice can be had by all.
