UPDATE
There are now three investigations being undertaken concurrently in regards to the shooting of Michael Brown.
1. The county/grand jury investigation into the shooting incident itself.
2. The federal investigation into possible civil rights violations in relation to the shooting.
3. And, a new broader federal/justice department investigation into the police policies and allegations of historical and current police misconduct in Ferguson. (About 20 such investigations of police forces across the country have been launched over the last several years.)
A new set of witnesses has also emerged. They are two construction workers who were 50 feet from Brown and Officer Wilson when Brown was shot to death. Unbeknownst to them, their immediate reactions to what they witnessed were caught on video by another bystander. What they noted is consistent with the accounts of other eyewitnesses; Brown's hands were up in the air, Brown was not posing a threat, and Brown was surrendering but Wilson kept firing.
Here's the video and audio of the construction workers' reaction to the shooting.
