All 5 have a different story. How pathetic.

Each person's account is questionable, but added together worth consideration. Dorian Johnson: Whatever Michael was up to (clearly no good) Dorian was in on it. His statement although not worthless is most likely to take the heat off himself and avoid any kind of recrimination from the thugs who wrote that public warning to snitches. Pharoah: Seems to have some idea of the number of shots and the event but obviously did not have facts otherwise. If Pharoah saw him die, his details should have been better. If the officer shot him while he was running their should be some blood evidence. Crenshaw's account comes close to Mitchell's. Tiffany Mitchell says the cop was trying to pull Michael into the car (through the window?). I don't know how she could distinguish between that and Michael assaulting the cop to get his gun. Otherwise, her version seems to be the one the media has endorsed. Unidentified LA woman: likely BS. Everyone is trying to get their mugs on camera, or their name in print. Claims about shots in the back, "could have missed." Yes that could have happened. And for those who, despite all the eyewitnesses, want to entertain fantasies that he was charging the policeman or some such, also note that he was shot 35 feet away from the patrol car; google 'Michael Brown 35 feet from patrol car' for umpteen references on this. It hasn't been disclosed how close the two men were to each other. The officer was in pursuit, and Michael could have turned on him as the officer claimed. The forensic evidence would have to show the distance decreasing and the latter shots would show movement in the direction of the officer, to lend any credence to the officer's story. And of course no ambulance called, leaving him lying in the street for 4 hours. He was dead and hopefully a thorough investigation was underway.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) personally profited from a corporate tax loophole that they have opposed closing, according to Bloomberg. Boehner and Camp announced that they were selling their stock in Dublin-based Covidien shortly after the American medical technology company Medtronic agreed to acquire it. The merger would allow Medtronic to move its formal headquarters overseas to reduce its tax bill. According to Bloomberg, Covidien’s stock price shot up after the acquisition was announced, and both Boehner and Camp sold between $15,000 and $50,000 shares of their stock in the company.
