Dramatic Pictures Surface Of Michael Brown Shooting Aftermath
The photo shows shocked onlookers watch as police peer at the teen’s dead body
[su_center_ad]Photos have surfaced taken in the immediate aftermath of Michael Brown’s shooting by Ferguson, MO officer Darren Wilson.
Darren Wilson, 28, pictured receiving a commendation for ‘extraordinary effort in the line of duty’ in February
With onlookers gathered behind police tape, officers are shown in the picture peering over Brown;s body.
Wilson is now on paid administrative leave following the shooting death of Michael Brown, 18, pending the outcome of the investigation into the shooting.
The 28-year-old officer won a commendation for ‘extraordinary effort in the line of duty’ on February of this year.
‘He never intended for any of this to happen,’ Ferguson police Chief Thomas Jackson said. ‘It’s devastating, absolutely devastating.’
He said Wilson encountered Brown and another man on the street during a routine patrol.
A confrontation ensued and Wilson fatally shot Brown, who was unarmed.[su_sky_ad]
People look at a memorial erected on the site where teenager Brown was shot in Ferguson after a night of clashes between police and protesters

I just saw this tweet thought it was neat.

For realsies, Ferguson?

I wonder if that is the same Mickey D’s, only hours earlier. Kinda surreal when you look at the two pictures together.
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 10:05 am
IKR? Mickey D’s is this all-American type thingy, then the militarized po-po are right there in front.
Ben Cook August 18th, 2014 at 2:58 am
Homies just be lovin their Micky D and thangs, know what I’m sayin, see what I’m sayin, hear what I’m sayin, that’s what I’m sayin and thangs , you know
Tammy Minton Haley August 17th, 2014 at 11:55 am
yes–i’ve seen it a dozen times, from all angles…i believe it’s the only one in town, at least in this area of town…
R.J. Carter August 17th, 2014 at 12:17 pm
It is the only one in Ferguson. Of course, St. Louis one town abutted against another abutted against another. There’s no physical break or greenspace between them. That’s why it’s so easy for non-Ferguson residents to literally walk into town and loot. I’m really surprised the violence has been contained to the city limits, and not gone into Florissant, Pine Lawn, and Overland.
You want to see a real police response? Let the violence reach Clayton and Ladue.
Anomaly 100 August 17th, 2014 at 10:00 am
Hands in the air. Don’t shoot.
Ben Cook August 18th, 2014 at 2:55 am
You are supposed to do that before you try to reach for the policeman’s gun, not after
CanterburyTom August 18th, 2014 at 10:27 am
Well it’s kinda like sex training, it should start in first grade. I’m sure the NEA will be coming out with a core program using these pix to drive the point home.
Eric Trommater August 17th, 2014 at 10:06 am
The sad thing is things like the release of the tape and the repeated images of protesters are working as a PR move. Micheal Brown is being openly talked about as a thug and the police response to protesters is beng blamed on Obama. Low information voters now have all the information they think they need on the issue and have tuned out and the vacuum is being filled by the Tucker Carlson’s of the world.

He is such a tool.
Suzanne McFly August 17th, 2014 at 11:31 am
They are actually calling Michael Brown a thug? Would of never guessed it myself.

CanterburyTom August 17th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
So what did you think Mike-Mike was doing when he pushed the clerk into the display, and what was the message he was trying to convey, when he took a step back to confront the clerk again?
Eric Trommater August 17th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
I thought a lot of things but none of them were “I think this boy deserves to be shot for this.” Since Officer Wilson was unaware of the robbery at the time of the shooting I can guarantee it wasn’t part of his thinking either.
CanterburyTom August 17th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
Well he did know, it seems. Listen to this: http://danaloeschradio.com/alleged-friend-of-officer-darren-wilson-offers-his-side/
Then listen to this:http://www.ijreview.com/2014/08/168698-eyewitness-recalls-important-detail-background-video-mins-ferguson-shooting/
Then tell me what you think, about the cop not knowing, until seconds after the his first encounter with Gentle Mike

And yet, groups of white men can aim loaded weapons at government employees in Nevada and (gasp) are still walking around free.
CanterburyTom August 18th, 2014 at 10:10 am
Oh please, there’s no moral equivalency here.
Shades August 18th, 2014 at 10:18 am
Oh please. There most certainly is. If you can’t see it, that’s you problem, not ours.
Wesson Smith November 30th, 2014 at 11:09 am
Because there are A LOT of armed white men. VERY powerful group.
Same reason why in the real world the United States gets away with what it wants. VERY powerful.
Ben Cook August 18th, 2014 at 2:52 am
Too bad it wasn’t the clerk with a .45 behind the counter that dropped Michael Brown to his ugly fat a*ss thug knees
wifather2000 August 17th, 2014 at 10:28 am
We, of the 99%, are ALL Michael Browns!
Ben Cook August 18th, 2014 at 2:49 am
Michael Brown was 99% punk a*s thug garbage
wifather2000 August 18th, 2014 at 7:30 am
And what are you if not a 1%’s bootlicker?

I’ve gotten a fond appreciation for this NWA classic since the events of Ferguson:

Film tha Police!
Suzanne McFly August 17th, 2014 at 11:32 am
They did, then they were arrested for it
Tammy Minton Haley August 17th, 2014 at 11:53 am
then, someone else steps in to film THAT…
where are the white people that live in Ferguson???
corbin56 August 17th, 2014 at 11:21 am
The MD 20 20 speaks volumes. Who does that?? Is that a can of Vienna Sausage?? This is an open and closed case. Let’s move on.
uzza August 17th, 2014 at 11:34 am
It does, but it speaks at a really low frequency that only bigots can hear.
granpa.usthai August 17th, 2014 at 4:18 pm
like they don’t consume vast quantities of alcoholic beverages – typical LYING HYPOCRISY of LYING WHITE RACIST.
Tammy Minton Haley August 17th, 2014 at 11:51 am
what does “MD 20/20” say to you?
granpa.usthai August 17th, 2014 at 4:17 pm
not likely WHITE RACIST!
whatthe46 August 17th, 2014 at 6:03 pm
stay in your lane you ignorant J.A. education is not something your simple mind can handle.
Ben Cook August 18th, 2014 at 2:47 am
The only thang missing was the Colt 45 and Old English
Damon August 17th, 2014 at 11:30 am
like the facts will come out.. hahaha, same old never believe a black kid, Trayvon Martin was presumed guilty as will Michael Brown. The defence of the Killer cop will be “In my view the suspect was a threat” The USA , no change since MLK was murdered
granpa.usthai August 17th, 2014 at 4:24 pm
Trayvon Martin was found guilty of using a sidewalk against an armed child stalking murderer as a DEADLY WEAPON. The reports are the ‘officer’ ordered Mike to stand on the sidewalk (be in possession of a deadly weapon), most likely to have a viable excuse to shoot the UNARMED teen to death. Failing to do so, he opted to shoot him to DEATH in the street (no doubt Missouri may deem asphalt to be a ‘deadly weapon’ when a black teen is on it?).
Eric Blaine August 17th, 2014 at 6:09 pm
OK. here’s the final word on all of this. 1. There is no such thing as a bad, bad-ish, or gangbangpants- under- the- buttocks meaning anything at all negative Black Child (ie., usually large, almost grown young adults not 21 yet). 2. The police have never yet confronted a bad Black Child: all have been exemplary children without blemish, headed straight for law or med school. 3. When almost- grown Black Children confront police, police should say “Please excuse me, you are a Black Child.” Black Child Conditioning Training must be mandatory for all non-African blooded persons. 4. Parent(s) of a large Black Child killed during what is perceived as thuggish or aggressive behavior will all end up millionaires for life under the new law suit bonanza. And Al Sharpton will receive additional government grant funding each time to help implement the 4 points above.
And it will continue, year after year after year. While whites just look at their own and mutter “good riddance, [fill the blank]”. As they tend to do. And I don’t see it getting better, any of it. But that’s just me.
Ben Cook August 18th, 2014 at 2:42 am
Good riddance
CanterburyTom August 17th, 2014 at 8:25 pm
What I want to know is when are they coming out with the “T” shirts?
Ben Cook August 18th, 2014 at 3:01 am
Who gunna be the 1st dumbass rappa do be making millions off of Michael Brown rapping about his sh*t, know what I’m sayin and thangs
Eric Blaine August 18th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
Seriously I don’t say this in anger, just a social commentary. There will be so much $$$$$ made, and both estranged parents of this “child” will be millionaires as are both the newly rich Trayvon parents. There is a growing industry of lawyers and survivors of deceased persons receiving and dividing millions and millions from various private and govt. sources that kind of gives me the creeps.
Eric Blaine August 18th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
Hey Alan, just in case you overlook this all over the net, it is part of the story and you are a “journalist”, so how about explaining it to your audience? Perhaps it is a good deed and this large child is just warning his peers about gangland? I dunno, do you?
