Witnesses have the cop 20 - 25 feet away. Cops are not given

I don't know where you're getting your information, but it's a bad

I don't know where you're getting information either, but it's a bad
source. The LEO called Brown to his car for questioning. Brown
responded by punching the cop in the face and tried to grab his gun. A
shot was fired in the ensuing struggle. Brown then fled on foot and
at some point turned around. Everything beyond that is speculation
and conjecture.

Except witnesses are saying that the cop and the kid were 20 - 25 feet
away from one another when the cop fired the kill shots.

If the witnesses are backed up by cell phone footage, the cop is going
to have a hard time explaining how he felt danger for his life against
an unarmed man who had already been hit by several bullets.

The last shot entered the skull from the top of the head, meaning he
was leaning forward, about to fall.

Ugly. No one should be executed like that, even if the cop was
punched in the face.

If he comes away unscathed, there will certainly be hell to pay.
