I think it is pretty clear what it means it means only that some of the witnesses are being disputed by the evidence.

To answer more specifically in any situation where someone has struggled for control of the officers weapon and thyen rushes to attack the officer it does not matter if they are unarmed or young it is still jusifiable to shoot them.

This is true for cops or anyone else.

All of that being said this case is not resolved yet not all of the evidence is in or been released to the public. No one really knows what happened yet and the investigation is ongoing

 

When you think about it, it's rather sad. We've gotten past the point of sabotage for political interests(failure or unwillingness to protect the borders), the far left has now admitted they endorse lawlessness and chaos. Anarchy is the order of the day. As such, these clowns can't be elected.

 

If the officers account is true ( a big if I admit ) then no it was not far enough away to no longer be a threat. According to the officers account ( which I admit is so far unproven ) Brown was rushing at him. 35 feet is lust a little over ten yards which most adults can run run in less than 2 seconds. The claim that Brown had ALREADY struggled for control of the officers gun would make him a deadly threat when combined with his proximity and actions.

The point is IF the officers story is true the shooting was justified. If the officer is lying then he deserves to be brought to justice.

The evidence is still not in yet.

 

The officer claims that the GROWN ADULT ( Brown was not a kid ) Struggled for control of the officers weapon and then turned and rushed back at him after running a short distance.

Once again we do not know where the evidence will lead if the officer's story is false then the shooting was criminal. If the officers story is true then it was justified.

 

We missed you buddy, welcome back to the forum

 

So you are the threat police? How nice of you to determine if one does or doesn't feel threatened, and what distance such things are determined. Very big of you...

 

It is pretty freaky, I'm not sure how to deal with people who think Trayvon Martin was 13 when he was shot and these people who change their story with each new bit of information about Brown but never modify their position, it's disturbing stuff.

 

I wouldn't want to be a cop. Tough judgment calls always, in the heat of the moment, with everyone ready to second guess. Safest for cops is to do nothing. I wonder if anyone would complain then. Parsing events after the fact is irrelevant. If you were the cop, you'd have seconds to decide, and it would be your job to make the decision. Lucky there aren't more mistakes.

I remember something that happened to me about 20 years ago. Christmas time in NYC; rush hour at Grand Central Terminal. I was a middle aged businessman in suit and tie and overcoat, waiting for a train. I put my hand on the gloves in my overcoat pocket. Then I noticed a cop about 20 feet away, staring at me intensely. He was crouching and had a hand on his gun. He was clearly ready to draw and fire on me. I understood that he mistook my gloves for a gun, so I smiled and very slowly took the gloves from my pocket and waved them at him. The cop relaxed only slowly. Now I was a middle aged white guy in a suit. If I'd done anything "suspicious," I might well have been shot. To protect himself, the cop would have made up some story about my supposedly menacing behavior. No doubt I'd do the same. So it can happen to anyone.

Ask yourself why someone becomes a cop. There are jobs with similar pay and less angst. Many become cops because they sincerely want to "serve and protect" their communities. But others take the job because they want a position where they can exert both social and physical force. The job is also a magnet for nuts who love the thought of legal violence. These may be a small minority, but then only a small minority enacts the sort of violence that provoked the riots. Perhaps better psychological screening can eliminate more of these, but not entirely. These incidents are the price we pay for the protection we receive.

 

Ummmm... Because he's a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing cop...

Oh so you've already seen the evidence that shows exactly how many shots were fired and where all those shots ended up. Do you have a link so we can see?

 

So youre saying he was a bad shot while MB was running from him, and he became an expert marksman as soon as MB turned to face him?

 

The autopsy shows the entry wounds were front to back. Hmm..., maybe he was running backwards. It's called back pedaling. Ya think?

 

Translation: Anyone committing a crime should be allowed to flee once they realize they are about to get caught.

 

I have to disagree with you. If the officer had shot once or twice it could be justified. However, Brown was shot 6 times, two of those in the head. Did he really need to shoot Brown twice in the head to protect himself? That's excessive use of force by any standard.

 

Michael Brown, violent thug and thief, was a clear and present danger to the heroic policeman who shot him. End of story.

I would argue "yes". The bullets probably did not penetrate the thug's blubber (he was big), so a head shot would have been the only thing to stop him.

 

Using silly jokes as legitimate arguments never works in court.

 

220?

Try 290.

That is 12 yards. 12.

How long would it take you to sprint 12 yards? Less than a few seconds.

The gunshot wound on the top of the head was likely from him running at sprinting speed.

Again, you can make up 35 feet in a matter of seconds. Probably around 5 seconds, I could do it in less. You act like 35 feet is a mile. Its not.

 

Yes, adrenaline going, he may not have even felt any of the four wounds to his arm.

Who knows, maybe he was on PCP. Reports from ground troops in Iraq suggested that many insurgents would take PCP or other stimulants so they could continue to fight even after being wounded. There are numerous stories of insurgents with half a head running down the street like its nothing.

My guess were the first four shots were 'oh (*)(*)(*)(*)' shots that missed center mass. Once the impact of the bullet slowed him down, the last two were aimed center mass as he began slumping over, which would indicate why one hit the eye (as he slumping) and then on the top of the head (as he slumped even further).

Keep in mind, this all likely happened in a matter of 4-5 seconds.

 

That is certainly an execution style shooting. Probably was.t shot more because the magazine was empty.

 

I guess when the Brits want to kill someone they shoot them in the arm.

 

Judging by where the masses were, its highly probable the first shot was fired in the car, the next three were fired at a distance of a whopping 12 yards, and judging by the groups, the last two were fired after the assailant continued to charge the officer.

 

Because when your shot in the arm and the eye your first instinct is to run toward the shooter.......Sorry but the cops story just crumbled.

 

Did he shoot him in the arm then eye?

The most likely scenario was that he was shot in the arm numerous times (Im guessing 3 outside the vehicle by the fact that a single shot went off in the car, likely to the forearm), and after assessing the danger (giant dude still bum rushing you) you sighted back in and fired two more times.

I can almost guarantee if his adrenaline was going he didnt even feel the shots in his arm. I saw an Afghan truck driver casually standing by my truck and asking for my help as he held his guts in his hands when a mortar round went off inside the cab of his truck. He probably didn't even feel the damage that was done.

 

Sorry this isn't Hollywood.

Sorry this isn't Hollywood.

 

Remember how Zimmerman just gunned down an innocent kid drinking Ice Tea ans eating Skittles? Then the forensics showed how he was on top of Z MMA fighter style reigning blows when he got shot.

Watch what he does from 1:30 on. When he assaults the guy out of the way, then he turns back on him. If he did that in an aggressive manner to the officer, that's why he got shot as he assaulted the cop already.
