It doesn't get any better than this.
The first, closest to the scene and most 'credible', supposedly, eyewitness to Michael Brown's innocent walking down the street assault was also in on the robbery.
Read this MSNBC story for the joke of the day: LINK

Read this MSNBC story for the joke of the day: LINK
Excerpts:
quote:
About 20 minutes before the shooting, Johnson said he saw Brown walking down the street and decided to catch up with him. The two walked and talked. That’s when Johnson says they saw the police car rolling up to them.
The officer demanded that the two “get the f—k on the sidewalk,” Johnson says. “His exact words were get the f—k on the sidewalk.”
After telling the officer that they were almost at their destination, Johnson’s house, the two continued walking. But as they did, Johnson says the officer slammed his brakes and threw his truck in reverse, nearly hitting them.
Now, in line with the officer’s driver’s side door, they could see the officer’s face. They heard him say something to the effect of, “what’d you say?” At the same time, Johnson says the officer attempted to thrust his door open but the door slammed into Brown and bounced closed. Johnson says the officer, with his left hand, grabbed Brown by the neck.

He was an accessory to a crime, can't be surprised he would be lying his arse off.

How dare you come here and attempt to degrade this hero.

It sure has changed the tone of the narrative today.
CNN has already started backing away.

I am disappointed that you dolts on this board are not seeing the bigger picture in this event.
That the police, who acted with excessive force (killed an unarmed dude), have access to machinery that would make the Russian seperatists in Ukraine envious.
That is the true takeaway from Missouri. Not that another inner city youth robbed a store and got killed. That happens with so much regularity that we have become desensitized to the daily fact. It's the response of the police that should be highlighted.

This is likely the reason they waited to release the robbery video.
Johnson was giving his account of what happened to every reporter who would listen, but had avoided giving it to the police until a day or so ago. Once they had him on record, having signed his witness statement (if in fact he told them the same story he had previously told everyone else), the time was right to release the video, which clearly shows Johnson's presence in the store, thus invalidating his eyewitness account of how the entire confrontation unfolded.

whether or not the cop wasn't justified...he's not only going to walk, but he's going to keep his job
no doubt ever that the witness was lying...2 other suspicions I have about the witness
1. He's lying not only to save his arse, but because he wants this cop to go down for the count, which is really fricked up if the cop turns out to be justified in his actions. Then these people get in a courtroom and it is the villainous prosecutor who exposes the inaccuracies, inconsistencies and falsehoods of the witness' testimony only to have the media call him "cruel" "racist" "disgusting"
2. Even if the cop did illegally, immorally and unethically use lethal force, this guy is too stupid to know, so he would lie anyway to make it sound as awful as possible...hands up, running away, etc.
this whole thing is a shite show...the only lesson everyone needs to take from this is not to go to st. Louis.
ETA: I want to clarify...being involved in a robbery only impacts the witness' credibility, it doesn't prove anything one way or another.

At this point there really is no reason to accept that Michael Brown held up his hands in surrender.
The police chief just said that the shooting officer knew nothing about the convenience store robbery before the deadly encounter on the street, but we can surely conclude that Michael thought he was being apprehended for the crime and acted violently accordingly.

We now know this was a blatant lie since the video which was taken just 15 minutes before they were stopped by the cop shows Johnson with Brown inside the store and he later admitted that Brown stole the cigars.
Once a witness has been caught giving false testimony the rest of their testimony isn't worth shite.

Shockingly his pants were hanging below his arse! I figured he would be a responsible, well dressed concerned citizen who just happened to witness the shooting.

I don't know what the OP is talking about. The video clearly shows that he didn't participate in the robbery, and he placed the cigars back on the counter once he realized that Brown wasn't going to pay for them. Brown was the only person that left the store with any cigars.
