It’s been approximately one week since the police shooting of Michael Brown outside a Ferguson, Missouri housing complex on August 9th. Yesterday the Internet took notice to the overlooked tweets of Twitter user @TheePharoah describing Michael Brown’s shooting immediately after it happened. It appears that TheePharoah was in his apartment only 20-feet away from the scene at the time of the shooting. Rolling Stone‘s Tim Dickinson collected all of the tweets, which I’ve compiled below in chronological order:
