FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- A Ferguson woman who was shot in the head last Tuesday during early moments of a peaceful Michael Brown protest said she is still waiting for police to take action.
“No officer ever showed up to speak with me... neither from Ferguson police or St. Louis County," Mya Aaten-White told News 4.
Last Tuesday evening Mya Aaten-White says she was walking down West Florissant to get back to her car. Before she made it to her car, violence erupted.
“I made it a block and a half then I heard gunshots, I put my hands to my head and realized I had been shot in the forehead,” she said.

OP
Not at all surprising they collected the "Evidence" and claim they never had it

If the 'fire'em all' crowd get their way police response times will be horrible for years to come...

which implicates the police dept.
If that is what you want in your town then what ever you do don't move to my town - you won't like the results

(15,203 posts)4. If all these protesters were supposedly shooting guns at cops
how come no cops were ever hit? I mean they were lined up en mass, you couldn't miss them if you tried. Yet magically, no cop was shot. Amazing.
Then the cops "lose" the bullet from the protester who was shot.

So I'd have to suspect the cops were the ones that shot her.
They would have an interest in preserving the evidence if that wasn't the case.

(17,644 posts)7. And a vested interest in losing the evidence if a cop shot her
Simply Corruption and Bigotry beyond belief in this day and age of lightening fast internet driven news and social media.

Help would have come from miles away.
