Shortly before noon on Aug. 9, Brown walked into Ferguson Market and Liquor, a convenience store on West Florissant Avenue. At approximately 11:51, according to a police report, an officer received a call that a robbery was in progress at the store. But the suspect, who a Brown family lawyer has acknowledged “appears to be” Brown from surveillance footage, was gone when the officer arrived.
It is reported on the police communication system with the description of Brown and his friend. Then the officer seen the two attracting the attention to themselves.
What happened in the video in the market [Robbery] is exactly what happened in the street with the officer. One exception, the officer got a gun and was at fear for his life.
If it was calm situation the officer could have used one bullet to cause the same damage, but what happened indicates that the officer was in fear of his life and that the distance between both were just few feet.
Witnesses have said they saw a scuffle between the officer and Brown at a police car before the young man was shot.
Others said a 6-foot-4, 292-pound Brown charged at Wilson, prompting the officer to fire at least six shots at him.
The politicians and the officials are silent about the contact, but all is coming out gradually and soon.
Just a thought.
