Police Officer Fighting For His Life After Ferguson Protestors Charge Him

Hundreds of individuals congregated outside the Ferguson, Missouri police station to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death.

Brown lost his life in a struggle with Officer Darren Wilson, during which DNA evidence unequivocally demonstrated that he attempted to seize the officer’s firearm.

Three autopsies corroborated Wilson’s account of the incident.

The “mostly peaceful” protesters (according to CNN) began to shake the chain-link fence violently.

“We did not react. We stayed here, let them shake the fence,” said Police Chief Troy Doyle. “That happened several times throughout the night up until the point that they broke the bottom portions of our fence, they destroyed property on our police department’s parking lot.”

Doyle made the decision to send his arrest team to apprehend those responsible for property destruction, but the situation quickly turned chaotic.

Officer Travis Brown was part of the team that moved in to confront the group damaging the fence, only to be assaulted as they approached.

According to reports, one protester aggressively charged at him, causing him to fall and sustain severe head injuries.

“He is at an area hospital right now, fighting for his life,” said the chief, who was visibly emotional during the news conference.

Elijah Gantt, 28, faces five charges in Officer Travis Brown’s assault, including resisting arrest, first degree property damage and two charges of fourth degree assault, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Gantt is being held on a $500,000 cash-only bond and must stay 1,500 feet away from the Ferguson Police Department, according to the prosecutor’s office. CNN has been unable to determine if Gantt has obtained legal representation.

Several other protesters are in custody, and prosecutors are working on filing additional charges against them, St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell said at the news conference.

“We believe people have the right to peacefully protest, but when that line is crossed and people are harmed, property is damaged – people have to be held accountable,” said Bell.

Officer Darren Wilson’s killing of Michael Brown in self-defense was a clear case of the truth being overshadowed by a misleading narrative.

The initial account provided by supposed “eyewitnesses,” which was widely echoed by the media, turned out to be a collection of falsehoods. Many of these so-called “eyewitnesses” were not even present at the scene.

The prosecutor, Robert McCulloch, acknowledged, “I felt it was important to include anyone and everyone, even those who were clearly not telling the truth, no doubt about it.”

This led to the widespread adoption of the “Hands up don’t shoot” slogan by Black Lives Matter during protests across the nation.

However, it wasn’t until the autopsy report was released in March that this claim was discredited; Michael Brown did not have any gunshot wounds on his back.

An Associated Press review of the grand jury found numerous problems in the witness testimony, including statements that were “inconsistent, fabricated, or provably wrong”. Several of the witnesses admitted changing their testimony to fit released evidence, or other witness statements.

The media was too hesitant to report the facts for fear of being labeled as “racist.”

Instead, those on the right who were deemed as “racists” were the ones questioning the reported narrative even before the official investigation began to reveal inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts.
