Last night at a party in Hollywood, music impresario Suge Knight was shot a reported six times, five of those in the stomach and chest..

Here's the story, and some video links:

"Suge shot right after talking to Chris Brown"

"Suge Knight shot multiple times"

One of the canards being repeated ad nauseam about the Michael Brown shooting, is that he was shot SIX times..including a head shot..and that this ipso facto constitutes use of excessive force by the police.

It is likely in Brown's case that the head wound occurred as he was falling forward, after being shot center mass..though this has not yet been conclusively stated by the multiple autopsies.

In the case of Knight's shooting, we have no reports about who shot him, or what type of weapon was used. Obviously, the type of pistol and ammunition used, as well as the ability of the gunman to shoot effectively, are huge factors in determining the outcome of the shooting.

However, the two events merit comparison, and analysis.

In Brown's case, the appears more and more that the officer was responding to a perceived threat to his life, and used his training and appropriate force to end the threat.

In Knight's case, it shows that one can be shot multiple times and could still be a viable threat.

Let's see if anyone else in the MSM draws this comparison.

Surge Knight is a huge, bodybuilding guy. He’s probably got enough muscle to take the steam out of the rounds he took. Michael Brown just looked fat.

A single headshot into the brain makes allllllllllll the difference when it comes to “stopping power” comparisons between the two shootings.

An interesting premise.

Don’t forget that Brown was shot out by a cop trained to take out a threat.

Knight was (probably) shot by a street thug using ‘spray and pray’.

Also, Brown was a son of Obama, destined for martyrdom. Knight was merely marking a career enhancement on his resume.

I guess "impressario" is a fancy term for "thug."

Who wants to bet he was shot south of the belt.

Shot placement is the most important factor in making a stop.

Another comparison...

Suge Knight is way better at dodging charges than bullets … because even though he attacked someone at a pot shop, and it’s caught on video — he’s not being prosecuted because of “insufficient evidence.”

Ping for an interesting dichotomy in wound results.

How many is enough?

Don’t I recall that along with the rap thug, two others were shot, and one died?

Suge Knight is a pos that just won’t flush.

Many cases, such as the infamous Miami FBI Shootout in the 80’s prove that committed thugs can and do survive mortal shots long enough to kill. Many criminals don’t believe they will die when they get shot, and officers have to instantly filter their decisions through training and experience. And, today, they can’t help but be concerned about liability issues as well. I’m sure decent officers will die in the wake of this case due to second guessing their instinct and training.

Knight is a rapper, not an aspiring rapper, so he has special protection against fatality that Brown didn’t have.
