For those asking where the Rightwing meme about Michael Brown charging the police came from.

It came from a YouTube video of a couple of guys talking at the scene after the shooting. The man shooting the video is explaining what he claims to have seen happen to others as they arrive on the scene.

(pertinent part starts around 6:28)

#1 How’d he get from there to there?

#2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck - cause he was like over the truck

{crosstalk}

#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran - the police got out and ran after him

{crosstalk}

#2 Then the next thing I know he coming back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him -

#1. Oh, the police got his gun

#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing - he like - be like - but he kept coming toward him

{crosstalk}

#2 Police fired shots - the next thing I know - the police was missing

#1 The Police?

#2 The Police shot him

#1 Police?

#2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”)

Please note that the video description at YouTube by the person who posted the video has this to say:

Residents are heard around the 1:00 mark explaining the chain of events and clearly state that Michael Brown was unarmed and not fighting with police when he was shot.
