Wilson Witness who corroborates the “Charge” claim, wrote Racist Journal Entries
Nov 25, 2014 2:25pm PST by Frank Vyan Walton
The key issue in the Michael Brown shooting case has always been, when the final and fatal shots were fired, was he an active threat to the officer? He had already fled and run away over 148 feet, but when he stopped and turned was it to surrender—as several witnesses told the press—or was it to charge as Officer Wilson claimed?
There is one witness who backed up Wilson’s claim, and that witness also wrote the following in her journal on the day of the shooting.
“Well I’m gonna take my random drive to Florissant.Need to understand the Black race better so I stop calling Blacks Niggers and Start calling them People.”
Why exactly in the world is this the witness that has credibility, but so many others—including the set of construction workers who immediately reacted to shooting that “his hands were up”?—somehow don’t?
An exclusive video captures their reactions during the moments just after the shooting.”He had his f*n hands up,” one of the men says in the video.
The man told CNN he heard one gunshot, then another shot about 30 seconds later.
“The cop didn’t say get on the ground. He just kept shooting,” the man said.
That same witness described the gruesome scene, saying he saw Brown’s “brains come out of his head,” again stating, “his hands were up.”
The video shows the man raising his arms in the air—just as, he says, Brown was doing when he was shot.
But despite this video—which was taken literally seconds after the shooting—we had a grand jury that instead took seriously the testimony of a person who admitted, in their own private diary, to calling black people “Ni*ers” instead of “people,” on a regular basis.
In a subsequent entry that same day following the shooting, the same witness wrote in his or her journal about seeing the shooting incident: “The cop got out left hand on face Right hand on gun. The Cop Screamed but I could not understand. Everyone was Screaming … The big kid turned around had his arms out with attitude. The cop just stood there dang if that kid didn’t start running right at the cop like a foot ball player Head down. I heard 3 bangs but the big kid wouldn’t Stop … Cop took a couple steps forward then backwards and the gun went off 2 more times. The last one on the top of the kids head. OMG the blood.”
If we are to take what District Attorney Robert McCulloch said in during his press conference Monday that “All the ones that I mentioned specifically were all African-Americans, were the ones who came at him in a full charge” then that meant this person was too. And as far as I’m concerned that doesn’t change anything.
If they have an anti-Black bias, then they have a anti-Black bias, period, and their credibility shouldn’t have been valued above all the other witnesses, including the construction workers who were white.
