Synopsis

Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson just cleared a sick child call and was on his way to meet his future wife for lunch. Michael Brown, Jr. and Dorian Johnson, were walking down the middle of the street after ripping off Cigarillos from a local store. The next 50 seconds sent the country into upheaval. This peels back the layers of speculation and opinion and gets to the facts. What and why certain events look place, and the politicians who must be held accountable for the civil unrest throughout the nation.  This book  blends reports from eye witnesses, the Grand Jury, forensics experts, mass media and law enforcement into a one comprehensive analysis of the incident. Readers not willing to comb through hundreds of pages of transcripts will learn the reality behind key facts such as how the initial gunshot ensued and why Michael Brown's body lied in the street for hours. The author interjects some behind-the-scene stories into this narrative which have not been covered in any other book written on this subject.

About this title

From the Author:

"The public outcry for social justice and growing anti-police sentiments have ignited violence and turmoil not only in the St. Louis area, but across our country. I believe proper communication of the truth could have prevented much of the destruction. It is my hope that this book reveals the need for truth and transparency from leaders, media and bystanders who harness the power of the internet at their fingertips."
