Author Ken Dye sheds light on the shooting of Michael Brown, Jr. by a Ferguson police officer in his new book: Michael Brown, Jr. didn't have to die
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) November 19, 2015 -- Author Ken Dye released a new book, Michael Brown, Jr. didn’t have to die, which compiles data and reports from multiple sources about the shooting death of Michael Brown, Jr. on August 9, 2014 by Darren Wilson, a police officer of Ferguson, Missouri. Dye weaves all the conflicting accounts of the incident into one analysis and identifies opportunities which could have averted the situation and much of the destructive aftermath.
“As a seasoned police investigator, I have a burning desire to get to the truth. After combing through many reports about Ferguson, the Grand Jury testimony and findings by the Department of Justice, I felt this incident had not been totally and honestly communicated to the public. People should be allowed to determine what occurred based on all the evidence and data available,“ explains Ken Dye.
The public outcry for social justice and growing anti-police sentiments have ignited violence and turmoil not only in the St. Louis area, but across our country. Dye believes, “Proper communication of the truth could have prevented much of the destruction. I hope this book reveals the need for truth and transparency from leaders, media and bystanders who harness the power of the internet at their fingertips.”
Because the book digs deep into many facts which have been buried among hundreds of pages of transcripts and police officer testimony, readers will learn the reality behind how the initial gunshot ensued and why Michael Brown’s body lied in the street for hours. The author interjects some behind-the-scene stories into this narrative to add interest.
