in a society without widespread gun ownership, there's more latitude to respond to issues of this type. for instance, the option to use a gun against a fleeing felon is not really possible.

this incident is created by a second amendment environment, with apparent trigger happiness thrown in.

New Michael Brown Witnesses Speak Out: He Had His Hands Up
by Josh Feldman | 10:51 pm, September 10th, 2014

CNN spoke with two new witnesses to Michael Brown‘s shooting; two unnamed contractors, both of whom were recorded on video taken right after the shooting, shouting about how Brown had his hands up.

One of the contractors recounted how he heard a shot, then another 30 seconds later, and then witnessed Brown staggering as he put his hands up. But instead of telling him to get on the ground, he says, Officer Darren Wilson just shot him.

The other contractor said he saw Brown running from the police car, Wilson chasing him, and firing at Brown while his back was turned.

This account fits with an account told by another witness who spoke out weeks ago about the shooting.
