There would be some logic, at this point, to think he had just heard the BOLO strong arm robbery, holding the cigars, would influence the notion that there is a propensity to behave in an aggressive manner. This can be further confirmed, later by the video, that was a correct notion regarding the strong arm event in and of itself.
Moreover , I remember when I first saw video I thought god he is not even trying to hide the cigars.Blantly and slowly exiting the store with stolen item. Quite a sense of entitlement and certainly indicates no respect for law. That criminal mind set is further reinforced seconds later when he shoves the owner out of the way to get out and still feels a need after he made space to exit to step back in for another aggresive behavior ..
The Chief reported a trip to hospital needed at the onset .. There is no way at that point they could have known this was going to become what it has. BY that I mean, it cant be " go to hospital to cover for yourself". Many in the media seem to forget that a trip to the hospital was required.
. Is it hard for the media to not consider that the officer had a pretty solid reason to (no matter what the intent of the turn around was in those 2 seconds) to conclude he was in danger. Link just posted earlier - a shot WAS fired in the vehicle. A gun going off within 6 inches of body would increase my anxiety.
After I had an encounter with someone that has something to do withh a gunshot in MY vehicle - did something that resulted in me going to a hospital I think it might be ok for me to, seconds later, believe I might get hurt again.
I would be further frightened by , in the seconds the first few shots were fired, and they seemed not to be having an impact, that would add to my fear.
Add in his size --and all the events outlined above it makes sense that multiple shots were needed to feel safe IMO
So if I add up the data I had during that lets say 30 second total event Ihad:
Two guys defying the law by just walking down the street not on sidewalk.
It would make sense to me that , after, just committing a felony, I would not be happy to see LE.So the notion that the two were polite at the onset might be a long shot IMO
Several links ago I confirmed via link that a shot was indeed fired in my car. I would think that would too, would create anxiety.
Then I see people fleeing- ignore my request not to do so. I would think it is not a far out conclusion to conclude that the officer did not say bye! Therefore defiance , again , could be valid conclusion at this point. IMO

I agree, MB was shot in the top of the head, this means he was shot as he was falling down, unless it is found this bullet entered at a distance of a few feet.
Thanks!
