A fatal bullet to the top of Brown’s head would also be consistent with this story, since Brown could have had his head down if he was rushing at Wilson.

This makes the most sense, but since I am a "racist", what do I know?

[Jeff Head]

You know what?

Out and out lies, an ideological and political agenda that cares not a whit for the truth, and a false arrative to match are the problems in Ferguson, Missouri.

There was NO racism. There was NO police brutality.

There was a big, strong black kid, indoctrinated with rubbish and an absolute entitlement attitude and no value or respect or the law, who was out of control, strong arm robbed a store, assaulted and seriously injured a Police officer, and the further attached that officer and got shot and killed for it.

The facts are...white, black, brown, red, yellow, or polka dotted, that officer Darren Wilson acted very heroically in this.

After significant injury to himself, and at moral peril to himself, he confronted a violent criminal and attempted to do his duty and apprehend the criminal. He then had to defend his life against the criminal and shoot him.

God bless you officer Wilson, and God keep and keep you.

They couldn’t pay me enough to be a cop.

‘The legal experts I consulted said that good prosecutors have an ethical obligation not to bring cases when they don’t think they have a good chance of winning. “At the end of the day, I have to clear ‘reasonable doubt,’” Bowman says.’

How about ethical obligation not to prosecute the innocent???

It isn’t ultimately about if you can win or lose, it’s about truth and justice.

This is why I hate most lawyers...

Something else- since he had an eyesocket injury... Ofc Wilson aim maybe wasn’t as good - vision impaired - hence the odd arm wounds on the decedent..

[felixandbowinkle]

he would be surrendering by bending over, exposing the top of his head? Not!

[Ben Mugged]

They should have dragged the Brown family into the hospital to first hand witness the damage their “gentle giant” was doing to this cop when he got shot.

[Jeff Head]

Ot, he began to fall forward as he rushed Wilson due to the other wounds he was receiving, and the last shot hit him in the head.

I am inclined to believe that most likely.

Much harder, IMHO, for those other entry wounds to be sustained if his head was down all the way.

According to one version of the story, Wilson was the aggressor. In one telling, the officer grabbed Brown by the neck and pulled him down to the squad car.

Into the vehicle??

No cop on this planet would do that...

But I sure hope they run with that...

[Minsc]

I’m worried what could happen WHEN this officer is found not guilty.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’m 340lbs. Try and put your hands on my neck and pull me anywhere. What a laugh!

[dragnet2]

Could you make that pic a little larger? I can barely see it.

STONER STONED SUPERMAN BROWN thought he could rush the officer and stop his bullets with the palm of his hand on the way there.

[M-cubed]

You know the old story....U can indict a ham sandwich....but can u get the “Pigs” to convict

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

I'll help.. Is this better?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Big whoop! Burn your own neighborhoods and shops. Now, if they venture into suburbia or the exurbs they’ll get the shock of their life. Many will not live to learn a lesson from it.

This statement make no sense anyway.

I think these people will be eaten alive if this ever goes to court...

[dragnet2]

Just a bit....tx..
