FR - snipped fro a source other than the NYT

quote:

Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family's request, the Times said. In an interview, he noted that one of the shots appeared to have struck Brown on the top of his head, but that it wasn't immediately clear what that signified. "It can be because he's giving up, or because he's charging forward at the officer," Baden said.

Actually this was in the NYT article as well, Ken just chose not to mention it.

I specifically mentioned that. You need to learn to read. I indicated that to determine whether the shot had him hit while he was on his knees would need to be determined by further testing. If he wasn't on his knees when a bullet hit the top of his head how else did it happen?

So...why does one sho0t another person six times? Angry? Scared for your life? Hate?

Let's take them in order,

1) Angry? Not likely, they never met
2) Scared for your life? This fits, that was a lot of shots, and this guy already has been shown to assault people due to his size.
3) Hate? Ummmm...maybe, but why just him? No. I think not.

So, life and this story is simpler than we want to believe. The reason why the cop is not in jail and the "boy" was shot so many times, mostly in the arm, is he was shot in self defense.
It would be easier for the police dept to simply lock the cop up and charge him, but they don't and not because everybody are roomies there in the police dept.

So, this is logically the way it is and will play out. And if I see that "witness" on TV again showing her video taken after the shooting, not while of course, I will simply gag.

Yes, police departments and sane individuals counsel officers to empty their magazines into unarmed, black teenagers. Does it bother you at all how insane you sound here?

I'm also waiting for the OP to make more analogies between police corruption and brutality and Monty Python.

You two are peas in a pod.

I remember reading an article in a magazine circulated only to law enforcement agencies. It was written by a former IA guy. He said they would routinely arrive at the scene of an officer involved shooting. One of the first questions they would ask was how many rounds did you fire. Usual answer was in the order of "two, maybe three" they would then open the cylinder (this was in the days when cops carried revolvers) and all six had been fired. I doubt that this has changed, the cop probably didn't realize how many he had fired (he had other things on his mind). From the pattern of hits he fired quickly as the hits kept rising. I am not yet ready to declare him innocent, let alone that he handled things to perfection, but it seems to be looking better for him all the time.

PS if someone had just bashed my face in I would be angry.

Looks like it is as could be reasonably predicted. The Cop's side is out now. The giant charged him and the cop defended himself. Of course he emptied his gun while in fear for his life. Who can fault this. The whole cop killed an innocent boy story is falling apart quickly and already I see cable news pundits backing away from that line, quickly, while blaming the police department for not doing what the family and the press and the most Rev did, throw shit out and jump to judgment. Kinda like a few here, right bitches?

I keep trying to work out which side you're on here, Arturas. Is it pro- or anti- rioters that you're attempting to make look unbalanced?

Also there is a URL with some other information and a vid and some interesting voice of the witnesses when they did not know it was being recorded. I would post the written part of it but, good old Mod 3 would kick my ass and probably ban me. Anyway, You might find this informative. You should really watch and listen to this one, it may change some minds. So here it is.
