There was an eyewitness to the whole thing: an elderly Black man who was tending his yard not far from the scene. He never allowed his name to be used because he knew what would happen to him if people found out.

There was another "eyewitness" who claimed to have seen Wilson "standing over Brown and shooting him in the head". Until it was proven that he was 2 blocks away at the time & ran over long after the shooting stopped to see the excitement. He "recanted" his story but that didn't get mentioned much. I think "execution style" is still in the mythology.

I recall some Olympic-level Mental Gymnastics as leftists tried to explain how Brown got his hand shot inside the police car. Usually along the lines of Wilson grabbing him & pulling his arm into the car. Yeah, those 290 pound guys get pushed and pulled so easily, eh?
