A Ferguson, MO man live-tweeted the
shooting death of Michael Brown last Saturday with a raw account that
contradicts what police reported to the media — Brown was shot twice in
the back and five times in the front, according to the witness’ tweets.
Ferguson police didn’t confirm a specific number of shots fired, but said the
officer at the center of the controversy, Darren Wilson, fired four to six times at the unarmed teen, according to
NYDailyNews.
Twitter user “Bruh,”
who goes by the handle @TheePharoah posted on August 9, “I JUST SAW
SOMEONE DIE OMFG,” followed by a gruesome photo he snapped with his
phone of Brown lying face down in the street with two officers standing
over his body, just two minutes after his initial tweet.
“Its blood all over the street, n—– protesting ns—,” he wrote next.
“There is police tape all over my building. I am stuck in her omg.”
Bruh provided a real perspective of the shooting that differs from
that of the police as well as friends of Brown’s, noting that he heard
at least seven gunshots that hit the teen with the possibility of a
couple other other missed shots.
“Dude was running and the cops just shot.him. i saw him die bruh,”
TheePharoah tweeted. “The first two was clear, then it was a barage of
them s—-,” he said of the gunshots.
Almost three hours after Bruh’s tweet of shots fired, Brown’s body
still remained in the street, “Homie still on the ground tho,” he
posted.
In a public statement Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson made to
the press Friday, Jackson said Wilson shot the teen after he saw the boy
and a friend walking in the middle of the road. Police confirmed that
moments before the fatal incident, Brown allegedly stole cigars during a
strong-arm robbery at a nearby convenience store, but Wilson was
unaware of this altercation at the time he shot the teen. By

Israel denies relations with the US have deteriorated. Yet arms
shipments to the Jewish state are being blocked as concerns grow over
the large number of Palestinian casualties Ben Lynfield Jerusalem 16 August 2014
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has denied reports
of a crisis in US-Israeli relations over the Gaza war, after the state
department confirmed a new policy of placing weapons shipments to the
Jewish state under closer scrutiny due to concern over the large number
of Palestinian civilian fatalities.
Israeli officials, speaking to the liberal Israeli newspaper,
Haaretz, confirmed that delivery of a consignment of Hellfire missiles,
which are fitted to helicopters, has been blocked by the US since late
last month as part of the American decision to impose limits on the
transfer of weaponry that could be used in Gaza. The suspension, the
first of its kind in more than three decades, was first reported in an
article in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
The article added
that the Obama administration was convinced Israel had not done enough
to minimise civilian casualties and that its concerns included the use
of artillery rather than more precise weaponry in the densely populated
coastal enclave.
Israel says Hamas uses the civilian population as
human shields and thus bears sole responsibility for the casualties. It
sees US criticism over the Gaza toll as falling short of the
unqualified support it believes it deserves in combatting a terrorist
enemy.Mr Netanyahu’s spokesman, Mark Regev, said he had no knowledge of
the Hellfire missiles being suspended. “We made a request and expect it
to be fulfilled. There is no crisis, on the contrary the prime minister
used the word terrific a few days ago to describe the support we have
received from the US. Obviously our positions aren’t always identical
but we are bound by common strategic interests and common values. We
have a unique partnership.”
