I think the first batch of wounds were actually pretty

would like to say Wilson was trying not to have to kill the punk

fear it was just bad shooting. Some shots were never recovered and
didn't hit Brown at all.


I think like half... at the same time I do math and I can not
see any
way looking at a 6 foot 6 inch 300 pounder running at me, I would
try to
do anything but kill on every shot... no wounding. As to that, I
have
had a lot of cop friends and iirc, it's pretty much illegal to
"fire a
warning shot, or wound to slow down". Pull the trigger, it's lethal
force, period...

That is what they tell us in the CCW classes and they are usually
police instructors doing it.

The problem with most of these things is the cop forgets rule #1
"Aim".
They spray and pray when one well placed shot would end it.


Yeah, like I said I think I had heard that before. My dads rule was
"never touch another mans gun unless you intend to fire it, and never
fire it if you don't want to kill something"...

Back to this wound thing.. or even follow thing the pundits and
racists
are saying... Again, this was a 300 pound 6'6 man closing from
less than
35 feet away. Ask any quarterback if you have time to wound or slow
down. And anybody at all who thinks after fighting with the cop,
being
shot, and turning around and attacking the shooter that kid woudln't
have killed the cop if he closed in, is lying, or retarded...
period...
mostly just lying...


Nobody is "lying" or "retarded" Scott. All that is being discussed
here
is speculative ideas on what may have actually happened. No one here
was there to see it, including you. The multiple witnesses who were
there and saw it have many conflicting stories and recollections.

cops...not

Nancy Grace gives me the creeps so I rarely watch or listen to her.

People are posting an adult "rap" sheet on Brown, yet the Ferguson
police
department said he didn't have any kind of adult record. Others are
claiming a juvenile record that tied Brown to a 2nd degree murder but
nothing of the sort has been officially released.

The only think I know for sure is that Brown was a punk. I know that
because I saw him rob the store for the cigars, shove the proprietor
around and intimidate him, as recorded by the store's video camera
system.

Did that or the events that followed justify killing him? I don't
know.
I wasn't there and the reports by witnesses are full of contradictions.

The manner in which the county prosecutor handled the case via the Grand
Jury is, according to most of the legal beagles who have commented, is
not completely unheard of but *is* very unusual.

Right on.


It seems obvious the prosecutor did not want an indictment and that's
the way the grand jury was led...



Seems that way. He's an elected official. It appears like he wanted
the Grand Jury deliberations to appear to be arm's length from him while
still keeping his thumb on the scale. This is not based on any legal
knowledge I have .... I don't have any. It's based on the statements
made by many lawyers and legal experts that have commented on the way
the GJ was presented evidence and ... (this is what is really strange)
... how the GJ was "charged" in determining how to come to a decision.

If Brown was aggressively going after Wilson after taking at least a
couple of gun shot hits, then I think Wilson acted appropriately.
However, I don't just don't know for sure. Too many contradictory
accounts by witnesses.

Pay attention, Deputy:

"Why spend the taxpayer's money on a losing case? Unless he wanted to
placate the bed-wetting libs, like yourself."

(Originally for Toad, but somewhat applicable here.) (by 3457629 +or-)



So in other words the conclusion and influence of one should satisfy the
interests and concerns of all. Got it.

That's not the function of an elected county prosecutor.
