MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #3

[WillenFan21]

Oh my god does anyone have it on CNN right now. Holy <modsnip>this woman is going off.

I would think the torso/upper torso would be central mass.

 

[JLSChook]

Shots fired again, just heard LE say that.

I can say this with assurance - trying to invalidate people's experiences and emotions is a sure way to make people angrier.

Fair to say exploiting people's experiences and emotions might cause an even larger amount of anger?

Shots fired Chambers & West Florrisant just reported.

Have you ever been in fear for your life and have to shoot at a huge moving target?

Wilson, the guy with the gun, was afraid of a kid with no gun? Please...

I thought people here were telling us that police are trained to shoot towards central mass. The head is central mass that needs to be shot at twice?

I think they are trained to AIM for central mass. That way, they are more likely to hit something when the target is moving. If MB's head was lowered as he charged forward, it would have been near central mass and it was the fatal shot, according to Dr. Baden's report.

Apparently, the man without the gun wasn't afraid of the police officer with the gun. How did that work out for him?

I bet this is what Crump was bracing his audience for.

Being hit four times in the arm will not stop a 300 pound man intent on mayhem.

No this woman was going off about the police. She was tear gassed and said that she had done nothing. She sounded furious and actually said she was in the iraq war. Boy was she livid. LOL

One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said.

Mr. Brown, 18, was also shot four times in the right arm, he said, adding that all the bullets were fired into his front.

So there you have it, he was NOT shot in the back. It seems he was facing the officer and likely charging towards him. The initial bullets were to the right arm which apparently did not stop him.

I would freak out if I shot someone 3 or 4 times and they were STILL coming at me

(respectfully snipped)

There is another reason why the claim that it was released because of a FOIA request is, to put it politely, disingenuous: LE knows perfectly well that they do not need to release information like this during an open investigation. So claiming that it was because of the FOIA is hogwash.

Perhaps there are some outlets concerned with the public knowing the entirety of truth, rather than just what is favorable to some?

After current commercial break CNN will be discussing NYT report of autopsy
