Here are a few relevant facts.
Brown was unarmed. He was shot six times. There was enough distance between Brown and the cop that no gunpowder was found on the body. What threat did Brown present for the officer to fear for his life or the life of another? No weapon and not close enough to leave GSR on Browns body.
What the female eye witness said was "after that, he was running away and the officer shot. He jerked LIKE he was hit in the back. He then turned around and put his hands in the air".
Now, given this statement, it could still be 100% accurate. It's perfectly reasonable to conceive Brown "jerking" as the shot was fired. Maybe out of surprise or fear or whatever. If all you heard was the shot and saw him jerk, it's easy to see why the eye witness thought he was shot in the back.
The cop still proceeded to shoot him six more times. An unarmed man that was just running away.
Like it or lot, this cop is going to prison.
