    From the article -

    "Some of the bullets entered and exited several times, including one that left at least five different wounds."

    Must be magic bullets. Sounds fishy to me. With all those wounds, how can the Dr really know all shots were from the front? How many shots were fired? Where did the casings end up?

    And all witnesses say Brown stopped running, raised his hands and surrendered, and THEN the cop fired a second volley of bullets killing Brown.

    Its murder.

    The bottom line here is the fact that almost all the "wittnesses" are liars!!!!!! Racist liars that hate the police, and will say anything to blame the cop.

    "One of the bullets shattered Mr. Brown’s right eye, traveled through his face, exited his jaw and re-entered his collarbone. The last two shots in the head would have stopped him in his tracks and were likely the last fired."

    Is from the article... What article are you quoting????

    I agree he doesn't look like a kid ... As for how many times an officer shoots, it depends. A human being doesn't fall down at the first shot, usually. In the training of military and police units this is underlined.

    "You are not supposed to shoot so many times," said the MD, who ironically has never been himself physically damaged in a hand to hand life and death struggle and then had to fire a weapon in order to save his life while alone in the street with no backup, already injured by the charging perpetrator who's already tried killing him once by a beat-down while doing his very best to take the gun and who's now turned around and is charging -- all six feet four inches of 300 pounds worth of wrath -- but who somehow knows that HE (the M.D.) would have shot only once and then while the behemoth was still charging forward (probably only nicked in the arm by the round) would have calmly reholstered his weapon, spread his arms wide and said, "Can't we all just get al----oooooph! Thud! Bam! Bam! Bam!"

    "Hahahahaha! I got the cop's gun! Not so tough now are you after I just pumped three rounds into your head from your own gun are you Mr. Policeman?!"

    Yep . . . that New York M.D. sure knows what he would do in a similar situation.

    Police officers are trained to stop and capture perpetrators of crimes. That's in their job description. It's what citizens pay them to do. They are not supposed to simply watch things happen and then write up reports about the separate events. Sheesh! As for holstering his primary weapon AFTER the 'gentle giant' just beat his head and tried to take said weapon from him, NO TRAINED OFFICER is then going to holster that weapon and draw instead a less effective taser.

    Hell . . . were he to do such a thing and then survive the incident then he would probably end up being reprimanded by his superiors for having switched tools and thereby risked his life and the life of everyone else who might have been on the street since taser hits are not always effective.

    Psssst . . . if you miss with a taser or it hits some article of loose clothing instead of the dart embedding in skin then the electricity jolt is useless and meanwhile you do not have an effective weapon in your hand and do not have time to draw your main weapon because by then the six foot four inches tall and 300 pounds 'suspect' is on top of you again, tearing you apart and AGAIN reaching for your gun.

    Officer's frame of mind will come into play due to the number of times he fired.

    That's one big target. Hard to believe all shots fired to the back missed.

    Except when the thug is charging you and won't stop as the credible stories are stating including that the last shot was to the head, the one Baden said would have bee n the fatal one.

    How did you reach that conclusion from what he states. Are YOU saying its OK for fleeing felons to attack and try to get the weapon of a police officer and that officer is not allowed to defense themselves?

    Do you realize how ridiculisly absurd your scenario is?

    Even the witnesses who falsely claimed he wasshot in the back and went down claim 5 or 6 shots.

    The contemporaneous account by the witness on the cell phone audio, the most powerful evidence so far, states Brown was charging Wilson when the police officer started firing.

    Wilson's account as related through the family friend says he didn't fire until Brown charged.

    I find it amusing that as evidence comes out which disproves eyewitness accounts that he was shot in the back with his arms up (which is the main basis for protesting apparently or at least it was when it started), the lefties are still finding a way to twist this into being the officer's fault. No matter what evidence shows, it's obvious that the left and looters will not be satisfied.

    As with the Zimmerman case the absurd scenarios will now be claimed as with this one that now Brown was fleeing and when the officer opened fire from 35 feet away and Brown then turned and ran back towards the firing.

    If it is acceptable to shoot, then it is acceptable to fire your entire clip into them. (yes I improperly call magazines clips for you zealots who worship a spring as if it really makes a difference)

    Libs thought this was a good chance for them to play the race card and make white police look bad.

    But what it really does is make black people look like uncivilized hooligans.

    6'4" , 220+lbs, running at me full tilt...? I'm gonna empty my mag , so if 6 wasn't enough... the other 9 or so will do the trick.

    As good a cop as they say this guy is... he needs more time on the firing range.

    Most of us lefties are too smart to jump to conclusions before all the evidence is in. Wish I could say the same the same for our right wing friends!

    if he charged the cop I could understand six shots. But if he was just standing there than this is murder.

    I do not know how much experience you have with firearms, but the difference between 3 and 6 shots is probably less than a second...You train to shoot till the target stops moving.... sometimes it takes 6.

    and your point is ? if he never charged the shots were illegally fired. If he charged they were justified.

    The point is 2 or 6 shots is really irrelevant. So I point this out to people who bring up the # of shots , which I don't know why you did really. If he was just standing there, 1 or 6 shots it would be the same thing...

    As with the Zimmerman case, we'll have people leaping to conclusions based on projections from fragments of news.

    I think I'll wait till I see more real evidence.

    On the one hand, the local police have hardly distinguished themselves when it comes to trustworthiness.

    On the other, what was Michael Brown actually doing?

    On the other, we'll need to see the full results of the autopsies.
