Two Construction Workers Confirm Michael Brown’s Hands Were Raised During Shooting
09.07.14
More information about the tragic shooting of Michael Brown has surfaced from two white construction workers, who confirmed the Brown’s hands were up while being shot multiple times.
The new perspective on shooting incident in Ferguson, St. Louis may shed light on the situation in a different way.
The two workers, who were fixing up an apartment complex, have a similar story to others that say Brown’s hands were up.
According to the Post-Dispatch reporter:
The worker said he saw Brown on Aug. 9 about 11 a.m. as Brown was walking west on Canfield Drive, toward West Florissant Avenue.
He said Brown struck up a rambling, half-hour conversation with his co-worker.
The site continues:
About a half-hour later, the worker heard a gunshot. Then he saw Brown running away from a police car. Wilson trailed about 10 to 15 feet behind, gun in hand. About 90 feet away from the car, the worker said, Wilson fired another shot at Brown, whose back was turned.
The worker said Brown stumbled and then stopped, put his hands up, turned around and said, “OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.” He said he told investigators from the St. Louis County police and the FBI that because of the stumble, it seemed to him that Brown had been wounded.
The workers do reveal that Officer Darren Wilson continued to shoot.
We hope the incident gets some resolve soon.

I swear I remember reading in the thread that one of the other witnesses also heard Michael saying Ok, ok ok.

I wasn't talking religiously, they brought tanks/wooden bullets/tear gas on the Ferguson residents because they protest. You don't think the same pigs are preparing for the aftermath of this case

Yeah pg. 1700 and 1706
The co-worker in the KTVI interview said he “starting hearing pops and when I look over … I seen somebody staggering and running. And when he finally caught himself he threw his hands up and started screaming, ‘OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.’”
And no one heard the cop utter a single command. He was in kill mode, his silence suggests it. Even during the pause between shots, he stayed silent and was only adjusting his aim to blast away again. This is what should also do him in, but they'll play it as him being afraid. Cops are not meant to be afraid, thats the purpose of the job in the first place. They will also claim he had no idea Mike was unarmed.

Darren Wilson supporters will now question whether or not these construction workers are normal white people (yes, I'm serious).NEWS on Ferguson, via Shaun King: "Two (white) construction workers on the scene when Darren Wilson murdered Mike Brown confirm he had his HANDS UP. That’s 6 witnesses. These 2 construction workers have already been interviewed by the FBI & local authorities & can be seen on video of scene putting hands up. One of the construction workers who saw Mike Brown killed, says he heard Brown verbally surrender before the 4 final death shots. That SIX eyewitnesses saw Darren Wilson murder Mike Brown after he surrendered A MONTH AGO with no arrest is an injustice all by itself. To be clear, these two Construction Workers are NOT new. They spoke to police the day of & the Feds early on. They are just new to us. Now SIX different eyewitnesses, only ONE who knew Mike Brown confirm that Mike Brown DID NOT rush Wilson, had hands up, was non-threatening. At this point, with 6 eyewitnesses from 6 different angles seeing the same basic facts, it’s VERY clear why we never saw a police report. If Darren Wilson, the Ferguson PD, or the St. Louis PD released a report, it would either be incriminating OR contradict every eyewitness.”
Attached below are images from two news articles giving the accounts from the two construction workers, on how Mike Brown surrendered:
