Iconic Ferguson Protester Found Dead

A FERGUSON PROTESTER ALLEGEDLY COMMITTED
SUICIDE IN THE BACK OF A VEHICLE WHILE TWO FEMALES WERE IN THE
CAR WITH HIM.
THIS IS EDWARD CRAWFORD AND HE WAS ACTUALLY THE
SUBJECT OF AN ICONIC PHOTO DURING THE FERGUSON PROTEST.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF HIM THROWING A TEAR GAS CANISTER AND HE HAD
CLAIMED LATER THAT THE REASON HE THREW IT WAS BECAUSE COPS HAD
THROWN IT TOWARD THE PROTESTERS AND HE WAS TRYING TO THROW IT
AWAY FROM THEM IS SO THAT NO ONE WOULD GET HER.
THE ST.
LOUIS
METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT TOLD NBC NEWS THAT CRAWFORD SHOT
HIMSELF IN THE BACKSEAT OF A CAR WHILE IT WAS MOVING ACCORDING TO
TWO FEMALE WITNESSES WHO WERE SEATED IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR.
THE VICTIM BEGAN EXPRESSING HE WAS DISTRAUGHT OVER PERSONAL
MATTERS TO THE WITNESSES.
THE WITNESSES HEARD THE VICTIM
RUMMAGING IN THE BACKSEAT, THEN HEARD A GUNSHOT AND OBSERVED THE
VICTIM HAD SUSTAINED A JOHN GUNSHOT WOUND TO HIS HEAD.
HIS
FATHER SAYS HE WAS A HAPPY GUY.
HE HAD JUST STARTED A
NEW JOB, HE HAS FOUR KIDS, EVERYTHING WAS GOING WELL.
I
DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS A SUICIDE.
HE DOESN'T THINK THERE WAS ANY
FOUL PLAY, HE THINKS IT WAS ACCIDENTAL.
THAT HE MIGHT'VE
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF BUT WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THIS
STORY IS THAT IT FOLLOWS A VERY SIMILAR PATTERN INVOLVING THE
DEATHS OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN THE SAME AREA OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS.
THIS IS THE ST.
LOUIS AREA AND JUST TO GIVE
YOU A FEW EXAMPLES, IN NOVEMBER 2014 20-YEAR-OLD DEANDRE JOSHUA
WAS ON SHOT IN THE HEAD WITH SEVERE BURNS AFTER BEING LIT ON
FIRE.
HE WAS DISCOVERED DEAD IN HIS OWN CAR.
ALSO IN SEPTEMBER
2016, THE BODY OF FERGUSON ACTIVIST DARREN SEALS WAS
DISCOVERED INSIDE OF BURNING CARDS I HAD BEEN SHOT AND POLICE
DECLARED THE DEATH HOMICIDE.
A LEAD DAILY ALSO MENTIONED
SEVEN OTHER TESTS THAT HAPPEN THE SAME WAY THAT.
IT WAS IN
CARS AND IN THE VAST MAJORITY THE BODY SAID BEEN BURNED OR THE
CARD AND SET ON FIRE.
THIS SEEMS SUSPICIOUS, BUT WE DON'T
HAVE ANY TYPE OF EVIDENCE INDICATING THERE WAS ONE
PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE DOING THIS TO A SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHIC.
WE JUST KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF SIMILARITIES.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN AND IT IS SUSPICIOUS.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE A
THEORY BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS A WEIRD MYSTERY, BECAUSE LOOK.
3 GUYS INVOLVED IN FERGUSON PROTEST WIND UP DYING.
THEY ARE ALL YOUNG.
BUT IS ALREADY WEIRD, BUT IT'S NOT THAT
BIG OF A COMMUNITY.
IF IT'S CHICAGO, THREE PEOPLE IN A BIG
CITY, COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN THOUGHT OKAY, BUT TWO OF THEM
GET SHOT AND BURNED IN THEIR CAR.
THAT IS SO SPECIFIC.
2
YEARS APART BY THE WAY.
ONE OF THEM ON THE NIGHT THAT THEY SAID
THE OFFICER WAS ACQUITTED AND FOUND NOT GUILTY OF SHOOTING
MIKE BROWN.
I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE THAN IT IS SUPER WEIRDÖ
THIRD PERSON DIES AND I WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING ABOUT THE
ICONIC PICTURES.
THIS PICTURE WAS SO ICONIC, IT WON A PULITZER
PRIZE.
SOMETIMES HAS BEEN SAYS, PICTURES LIFE.
IS IT WORTH 1000
WORDS AND LIES AT THE SAME TIME.
A LOT OF RIGHT-WINGERS USES
PICTURE YOU SEE THAT, HE SOARING A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL OF THE COPS.
IN REALITY, THAT WAS A TEAR GAS CANISTER THAT THE COPS
HAD PART OF THE PROTESTERS AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THE KIDS
AROUND THERE GET HARMED SO HE ACTUALLY PUT HIMSELF IN PERIL TO
GRAB THE BURNING CANISTER AND THIRD AWAY FROM THE KIDS.
THE
COPS ARE ACTUALLY REALLY FAR AWAY.
HE SAID I COULDN'T THROW
A BASEBALL THAT FAR LET ALONE A BURNING GAS CANISTER.
THE LOCAL
PEOPLE THERE INCLUDING STATE SENATOR'S CALL HIM A HERO FOR
THROWING THE GAS CANISTER AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WERE
PROTESTING IN THE AREA, INCLUDING KIDS.
HE IS WEARING
AN AMERICAN FLAG T-SHIRT.
IT DOES TELL YOU THE STORY OF
MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN AMERICA, WHERE SOME PEOPLE LOOK AT THE
PICTURE AND SEE A DANGEROUS GUY WHO IS ATTACKING THE COPS BUT IF
YOU ACTUALLY FIND THE REAL STORY, IT'S A GUY WHO WAS
PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY AND IT WAS, RIGHT OR WRONG, THE
COPS FIRED THE TEAR GAS CANISTER IN THE FIRST PLACE RIGHT
NEXT TO THEM.
IT'S A GREAT PHOTO AND YOU KNOW SEE A WHOLE PICTURE WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THAT PICTURE.
YOU'LL SEE WERE THE COPS ARE,
YOU'LL SEE HOW FAR AWAY THE COPS ARE SO PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT THAT
AND THEY CAN HAVE VARYING PERSPECTIVES BASED ON WHAT THEIR
INTERNAL BIASES ARE AND THAT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE.
DEPENDING ON YOUR IDEOLOGY, YOU LOOK AT A PICTURE AND YOU
WILL INTERPRET IT COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHERS.
BUT EITHER WAY, UNFORTUNATELY EDWARD CRAWFORD IS NOW DECEASED.
3RD PROTESTER IN THE AREA KILLED IN THE LAST THREE YEARS UNDER
STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES.
WE DON'T YET KNOW THE WHOLE STORY.
