I guess the officer must have cuffed him where he laid dead, with his fractured skull, anyway. Not really pertinent to the situation, since it played after the fatal shooting happened.
Sorry if it has been brought up, but is there a reasonable article on what happened during the brawl?
What I collected is the background : michael brown rob a store minutes before the shooting
and wounds : a fractured skull for the policeman and 6 bullets on the young man, one killing him instantly in the head
I read a few autopsy report which doesnt all go in the same direction: one says none of the shots were done at short range, one says they were all shot at the front of the body, some that he was shot in the back, etc...
the information you see and hear on the media is "leaked" information, you will not hear a "true" story until the evidence and reports are released after his indictment, which hasnt occurred yet, and sometime after they review the evidence for legality if they do decide to go ahead with the indictment.
What you hear on the media is nothing more then word of mouth spread, or hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt until the facts come about.
The sum of the story seems to be:
commits Robbery of a store
starts walking somewhere, maybe home?(friends house, since he was visiting from out of town)
cops respond to robbery
this guy begins walking in the middle of the street blocking traffic
separate cop, not going to the robbery, is either responding to the call of this guy blocking traffic, or is passing by and sees it
-story gets vague-
confrontation occurs
cops skull fractured
6 shots fired
guy is dead
witnesses claim cop executed the guy while his hands were up and he was on his knees begging to not be shot while on the sidewalk
riots ensue
more rioting
rioting?
yep still rioting
