Witness testimony will be interesting in this trial. It may not matter much


since there are videos. I watched a video of the scene immediately after the shooting. One witness was screaming at the cops. His version of events didn’t match with the video and he obviously didn’t like cops to begin with. I imagine trusting cops’ testimony or witness testimony in police shootings often will be unreliable.

The witness can be heard on the video calling the cops pigs, assholes, and clowns. He said there was nothing wrong with how the guy (Brooks) conducted himself whatsoever. The pigs harassed him for 20 minutes for no reason. He didn’t do shit. He didn’t do a thing.

The video was obstructed by a car so I couldn’t tell if the cops kicked or stepped on Brooks. There could be other video that shows that. If that part is based on a witness then I’m a little more skeptical.

The cops did not administer any first aid for 2 minutes which I don’t understand. They stood there for a minute then one cop ran to his car to get what appeared to be a first aid kit or something like that.

This was new video and audio for me so just passing along my observations.
