Shooting in Ferguson claims life of Michael Brown witness

quote:

FERGUSON, Mo. – Ferguson police have confirmed that Dorian Johnson, who was with Michael Brown moments before Brown was fatally shot in 2014, was killed Sunday morning in a separate shooting.

According to a spokesperson with the Ferguson Police Department, the shooting happened around 8:30 a.m. in the 9600 block of Abaco Court, near Exuma Drive.

Officers arrived at the scene and found Dorian Johnson shot multiple times. Johnson later died of his injuries. He was 33.

One person is in custody, police said, and charges are being sought through the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

The department spokesperson stressed that police were not involved in the shooting.

Johnson became widely known in 2014 as an eyewitness walking alongside Michael Brown before the teen was shot by a Ferguson police officer. His account helped spark protests in Ferguson and nationwide, becoming a symbol of the fight for racial justice.

Johnson’s claims that Brown was shot in the back and was attempting to surrender to the officer when he was fatally wounded were ultimately contradicted by several other witness statements and reflected in a March 2015 Justice Department report.

The death of Johnson, years after the city became a national focal point, is seen by many as a tragic irony and is already drawing renewed national attention to Ferguson and the ongoing issue of gun violence.

Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to contact FPD detectives at 314-522-3100.

Karma...

Finally got to join his buddy. In hell.

Good. Lying POS thug. What took so long?

What horse shit.

His lies cost millions and lives. He’ll suffer a wincing judgement.

“Tragic irony” is not exactly the phrase that comes to mind here.

Glad they clarified it was a “separate” shooting from the one in 2014. I was almost confused…

Para's cartoon post perfectly describes how stupid is the phrase of "gun violence".

There is a non-profit in a nearby town. They wear orange shirts with "End Gun Violence" in large bold text. I get that their goal is to keep people out of gangs, but I really dislike their shirts and massage.

It is plastered all over a van that they drive too. One might think that the phrase is the name of that group.

I had to google the group to find their name, Promise Neighborhood.

This is even done at the state level with "Pennsylvania's Office of Gun Violence Prevention"

Thugs gonna thug.

Yeah, it’s not ironic it’s merely coincidence. Dying in a shootout with the police, that would be ironic.

I've just about made it to 40 without being involved in a shooting, and yet this gentleman has two, one fatally for him. What do you think the odds are of that?

The winner of this week’s play stupid games contest.
A long overdue award.

And with his passing nothing of value was lost.

Dorian Johnson and Diamond Reynolds, a bitch who was not even there, but testified the same lies as Johnson, both were not charged with perjury, and yet their lies directly created a catastrophe, still in effect. Hell is waiting for Johnson, and to those who perpetuated this evil propaganda-

America’s Black On White Crime Problem, Captured In Full Color Video
By Vince Coyner

George Floyd was a criminal and a sometime thug. By the time he died of a drug overdose in 2020, he had spent at least the last 23 years committing crimes. Over that 23-year period, he was arrested at least nine times for everything from drug possession and distribution to theft to aggravated assault. He was stopped for a wide variety of other activities that required him to do community service or did not result in an arrest. Nine arrests over 23 years might not sound like a lot, but for more than eight of those years, he was in prison and not able to prey on people.

Although arrested and jailed for aggravated assault, the crime that was the catalyst for his death was his decision to pass a counterfeit $20 bill. When the police arrived, he refused to comply, fought the police, and then died from natural causes when he was pinned down to the ground, as the police were surrounded by an angry mob that made it impossible for them even to try to address Floyd’s health.

Public domain.

Then suddenly, George Floyd became a saint. Across the country and around the world, there was gnashing of teeth, protests, and riots about his death. The Black Lives Matter grifters monetized it, politicians made speeches using it to demonize police and America, and the draconian regulations meant to protect us from a supposedly extinction-level virus were conveniently suspended so long as people were busy protesting and burning down cities.

However, only with a fuller understanding of the circumstances leading up to the events captured on video does one understand that Floyd’s death was not murder or even police brutality, but rather a very unfortunate circumstance brought about by Floyd himself.

But then it wasn’t George Floyd’s death itself that caused half the country to rally around the fiction of police brutality and systemic racism; it was the videos. While the videos are indeed difficult to watch, they don’t change the fact that it was Floyd’s choices that were responsible.

But videos are often like that. How many times have we seen videos of a conflict that seems clear as to what happened, only to discover later that what’s covered in the video is only the culmination of a series of events that paint all parties in a light opposite to what the original video did?

However, the video showing Iryna Zarutska’s murder cannot be misconstrued. No, that video shows everything that is pertinent to her death.

To be fair, BLM started with Travion Martin in Florida, though that ended up as a practice run. Little Dorian lied to a news camera about what happened and they were ready to run with it from the Obummer White House on down. To be fair, I believe Gray pled 5th Amendment protection during Grand Jury. There were other lying “witnesses” though they were discredited by actual evidence or proof they were never there when it happened.


Now this is the model, run with the narrative instead of what actually occurred.

Karma was a long time coming but boy did it ever get delivered in full.

But... Did he have his hands up? And one story I read about his tragic demise was how the cops in Ferguson now have to undergo training about "implicit bias".
I bet recruitment for FPD is way up!

Not sure where you've been the last few decades but, that's every law enforcement, fire department and menagerie of every other government department that deals with the public on a regular basis.

He was just too high strung....
