Police put that video on him! That Nigga never had a gun!
Michael Brown’s teenage pal, who was shot by cops during protests in Ferguson, Mo., Sunday night, is clearly seen on video brandishing a gun just moments before he was wounded, officials said Tuesday.
Tyrone Harris Jr., critically wounded in the shootout late Sunday, opened fire on an unmarked police van on the first anniversary of Brown’s death in a scuffle with police, cops said.
In a 13-second clip taken from a security camera of an insurance office on West Florissant Avenue, Harris, 18, is seen grabbing a handgun from his waistband and opening fire on plainclothes cops.
He remains hospitalized in critical condition.
He has been charged with a slew of felonies, including five counts of armed criminal action and four counts of first-degree assault on a law-enforcement officer.
His father had disputed the police account of the shooting, but did not discuss the incident after the video was released.
Meanwhile, on the streets of Ferguson, an armed militia group called the Oath Keepers was patrolling the area Tuesday to the dismay of both protesters and police.
The group wore camouflage bulletproof vests and brandished rifles on West Florissant Avenue, the center of protests for the past several days.
