The friend who was with 'big mike' as he refers to the person shot, went into pretty good detail about the incident from start to finish. His attorney was by his side during the latest interview to make sure the correct words are used, but can definitely see how it all played out.
Dorian and Mike walking down the street...carrying hands full of cigarellos, wonder what they were going to put in them minutes later
. He said they were walking in the middle of the street but didn't see any cars swerve around them so didn't think they were being a problem to anyone (still illegal to do that for their own safety thats why sidewalks are built) The police officer rolls up alongside and tells them to 'get the F out of the road' and Dorian says he was shocked that the police officer would ask them to do such a thing so he politely replies 'sir, we will be at our destination in less than a minute' and kept walking in the road...the police officer hears the response and failure to comply with the warning and stops the vehicle and put it in reverse. When he stops and goes to open his door to exit the door hits one of the men and closes back onto the officer who then reaches out the window to grab hold of Brown, Brown pulled away and Dorian said the officer was stuck in the car trying to maintain a grip and there was a tug of war going on for a few seconds, then Brown turns to his friend and says 'hold these' and hands him the cigarellos to free up his hands...he then tried to get away from the officer more forcefully and the officer, in close quarters with the two men, pulls his weapon and says 'stop or I'm going to shoot', a few seconds later he fires one round into the side of Mike Brown. From there the officer exits the vehicle firing again as Brown is trying to still flee and ends up dropping the man 30 feet away in the end.
Could have all been avoided by just doing the right thing...but as one would expect from a young punk with a wife beater and tattoos of skulls on his neck among a dozen other ink jobs to do in the situation....decided to be a smart ass to the cop and it escalated. Now we have the media looping the sweet images of Brown and his grandfather saying there was no way he tried to resist the police because he was a gentle giant who was so smart that when you bought him a video game, he could beat it and always wanted more of them
