It Looks Like an Eyewitness Livetweeted the Shooting of Mike Brown

The Ferguson shooting that has dominated the headlines was apparently live-tweeted by an eye witness who has yet to show his identity. The account is under the name “TheePharoah” on Twitter and posted a few pics from the day of the crime, as time-stamped by the service:

There’s no mention of an altercation between Brown and the policeman, but there’s no reason to think he saw the interaction from the beginning. Also, he points out the rumor that he had been accused of stealing “rellos,” a slang term for cigars.
