If they were using .45s it might have taken fewer shots
Left shot placement may also be from not enough finger on the trigger, tight grip, poor sight alignment, or relaxing the elbow. All of which can occur in a high stress situation.
I have done it to myself. When I was 18, I let the hammer slip while attempting to lower it on a 1911. Fortunately the gun was pointed in a safe direction but either the slide or hammer gave me a nice little scar on my thumb.
Here is something that they just won’t say either. Naive Americans think getting shot is like shown in the movies. A person is shot and they fly backwards 5’ or more. Not even close.
In fact, in the Life or Death rush of adrenaline, usually a person doesn’t even immediately realize they have been shot and can continue at or near full strength depending on the severity of damaged appendages. The brain shot tends to turn the lights out quickly, however.
Yes, the scene in “The Godfather” where little Vito Andolini’s (Corleone) Mother is shot with a shotgun is a good example.
It was good drama but bad physics. If the blast really would have blown her back six feet, it would have done the same to the shooter or at least close to the same as he was probably heavier.
Apparently sometimes they don’t know they are shot even without the great adrenaline rush. I knew someone back in 1971 who told me about being in a poker game in a bar somewhere in the boondocks of Louisiana when the guy sitting directly across the table from him started talking trash and then fired three shots under the table with a .38 revolver. This guy said he told the other fellow to stop shooting in the floor and the reply came back, “I didn’t shoot in the floor, I shot you.” He said he replied, “Bullshit” and got up to walk to the bar for a drink. He said that he collapsed on the floor in front of the bar and woke up in the emergency room or ICU, I’m not sure which. He said he did not feel anything at all when he was shot and he was hit in the belly with all three.
That is so true. When full of adrenaline a person is much stronger and can keep going even when shot.
All these “experts” from the safety of behind their computers say the officer should not have fired and that he is racist etc.
I just wish they could have their eye socket fractured and have a 6'5” 300 pound thug charging at them.
I would just like to see what they would do.
Can you imagine if this had been a Republican Governor, shut the front door Sally is all I can say.....
This is a case why a .45 auto should be preferred as a carry rather than a 9mm which was probably used. A hit to the extremeties is like a sledgehammer blow. It would have disabled this attacking thug and knocked him to the ground much sooner.
bump
I’m thinking that the”Toxicology Report”is going to shed some light on this thing?Brown had to have something NASTY in him to attack a police officer and continue to charge at him while being shot???
What do you think Holder is doing? He is doing everything he can to prevent the truth from coming out.
The MSM are helping him. They are the ones who spread the false narratives and covered up the truth.
I’m thinking it could be PCP.Apparently that cursed stuff is back in use again.No sane person would ever touch that poison.
