County investigation: Michael Brown was shot from the front, had marijuana in his system

The officer was obviously trying to just wound him, since a shot in the arm is NOT fatal..Brown kept on coming towards him, the last two shots were the fatal blows(2 to the head) I wonder if both shots made a direct hit on the head or did one just graze his head and the other one make a direct hit

If they were smart, they wouldn’t be doing this sh*t in the first place...

“What was in the system of that cop when he was pumping bullets into that boy’s body?”

Adrenaline.

That would be the “Laying On of Hands.”

These people are not interested in facts & reason.

So we shouldn't try. Just protect ourselves and our property.

Would you restock at present?

[blackdog]

As a general rule, weed smokers don’t engage in violent behavior. Now toss in some crack, booze, or stimulant of some sort, and Ruh-Roh....

Exactly! ;-)

OK so all shots were at the front of his body.

BUT, did his body GO BACK AND TO THE LEFT?

[Dr. Thorne]

So, let's add up the words describing "Big Mike" so far:

Violent
Criminal
Stoned
Racist
Sexist
Thug

Well, that's the kind of guy who will run afoul of the POlice sooner or later. Maybe Officer Wilson actually saved a few innocent lives somewhere down the road.

Washington COM-Post and the LA Times BOTH coming clean today? Wow.

I honestly can’t believe some of the comments I read around the internet and on TV.

You would thin the cops got decked out in military gear, looked for an innocent man to shoot and executed him .

Hardly a peep about robbing the store, attacking the cop, rioting, looting etc.

I’ll take a guess here that marijuana is fairly easy to find in the bloodstream and that there may be more to the toxicology tests that may take longer for results. IOW, not a complete toxicology report.

Baden said that toxicology tests are only done on 1st autopsy as there is no more blood in body to test in 2nd & 3rd autopsy.

“A shot in the arm is not fatal”

Google up “brachial artery”. It certainly can be. A friend of mine very nearly bled out from just such a bullet wound. Only heroic efforts of the ER staff saved his life.

This will be a major butt-hurt for the “all cops are jack-booted thugs” and the doper crowd here on FR.

I’m thinking it grazed the skull as he was falling forward.
