Dr. Ben Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University and author of the new book “One Nation: What We Can All Do To Save America’s Future” (Sentinel). The Washington Times published this column op-ed concerning observations about the Ferguson rioting, where Mike Brown was shot in a scuffle following his involvement in a robbery. This article is very enlightening, although it does not include the information from an earlier report: there was video and sound from the incident, proving that Brown had a gun in his hand in the scuffle that ensued, and the police officer took it from him. (See second link commentary below, for the earlier information, a gun was removed from Brown in the scuffle.)

He and a companion were walking in the middle of the street, obstructing traffic and were, therefore, admonished by a police officer to move to the sidewalk. Mr. Brown, who may have been pharmacologically impaired, became belligerent and the ensuing struggle produced facial trauma and an orbital fracture of the police officer’s face. The officer, who may have been dazed by a blow to the cranium severe enough to produce a fracture, attempted to apprehend the assailant and shots were fired, six of which struck the suspect, resulting in a fatality....

The police took a gun away from him as Mike Brown was running TOWARD them--they shot in self-defense. It changes the investigation narrative. --Linda Santucci redflagnews/headlines/a-witness-conversation-unknowingly-captured-at-the-scene-of-the-ferguson-shooting-is-a-game-changer
