The witnesses? The only witness that vaguely supports this that I've seen is an anonymous witness cited in the Daily Caller. Not credible journalism even by USA standards. The known witnesses are Dorian Johnson (altercation at the car, shooting as he ran away, he got hit, turned around put his hands up and stumbled forwards before the shooting began again), James McKnight (more or less the same as Johnson), Michael Brady (altercation at car, shooting, then as Brown was halfway towards falling to the ground more shots), Piaget Crenshaw (shots fired as he ran away with hands up, turned with hands up, more firing). Those accounts aren't too far from the Police account really. Is it reasonable to conclude deadly force is required in the timeframe of the shooting? What does police protocol say? One step? Two? When can you be sure it's not charging but belligerence, drunkenness, or injury? I'm sure America are the experts in these cases by now and have explicit and clear guidelines for semi-autonomous itinerant armed police officers and when they can and cannot open fire. Surely it isn't just 'if you harbour any fear, kill or otherwise incapacitate the citizen you are trying to apprehend'?

There is also TheePharoah who tweeted it from the scene and said ' JUST SAW SOMEONE DIE OMFG....no reason! He was running!', but you know, its not clear he can provide further useful information assuming he was interviewed.

This is a classical demonstration of Piaget's developmental psychology theory called the Preoperational stage in which children aged 2 to 7 years of age are unable to adopt the principle of conservation which understands that quantity or length of an item is unrelated to the arrangement or appearance of the object or item.
Such cognitive abilities begin to develop between the ages of 7 and 11 years of age during the Concrete Operational Stage.
way to spoil the fun with facts, Mr.Buzz Killington.

This is a classical demonstration of Piaget's developmental psychology theory called the Preoperational stage in which children aged 2 to 7 years of age are unable to adopt the principle of conservation which understands that quantity or length of an item is unrelated to the arrangement or appearance of the object or item.

Such cognitive abilities begin to develop between the ages of 7 and 11 years of age during the Concrete Operational Stage (unless you're Republican, in which case cognitive development is severely stunted).

Young daughter getting run over by a car and killed is equivalent to teenage daughter growing up with reckless leading to suicidal tendencies, due to having no sense of purpose in a "world that makes no sense".

The assumption is that the Mormon church will provide the sense of purpose and meaning.

It is important to note that there is no call to action in the clip, which means it's designed to do only one thing - trigger an emotional response.

It's fairly clear that they want an anxiety or fear response, exactly the human emotion that kicks in basic bio survival mode, (Gurdjieff, Freud, Jung, Berne, Sagan, Piaget & Wilber) in which you are much more susceptible to influence.

So this clip is a precursor to something else that they want you to be in a less inquisitive state of mind for, and which almost certainly involves anal lube.

Jean Piaget is generally recognized as the preeminent developmental psychologist of the twentieth century. His work investigating the growth of intelligence from infancy through adolescence is basic to an understanding of child and cognitive psychology. Because he opened new fields of inquiry, Piaget had to create a new vocabulary for his discoveries; his concepts are not easily understood from reading about them. In this film Piaget’s student, Dr. David Elkind, introduces the research methods and terminology of Piaget’s theories with demonstrations and apt real-life examples enabling students to more easily understand the concepts involved. Archival materials also document the course of Piaget’s life.
