I hear these "protesters" when confronted with possibility that none of the original story is true then argue about the 35ft distance and six shots fired.

Myth Buster proved and officers are trained that a suspect at 20ft can rush you before you can holster your weapon. Wilson knows the danger of being BUM Rushed. Add to that his eye is blown creating all sort of potential vision issues including depth perception. Good luck prosecuting this.

I would also ask if the protesters would they fell better if one shot would have killed Michael?

A biker sucker-punched me when I was 19. Had an orbital blow out fracture. They had to pull my eye up out of my sinus and then wire everything back together. It is a devastating injury. I had double vision for two days and a massive concussion.

Doesn’t matter. They’ll riot again when the officer is acquitted.

Wilson did real good.He’s got a serious eye injury,in pain and probably some shock,adrenalines pumping like crazy,and he’s got a huge most likely drug crazed thug charging back to kill him.With all that chaos,he still got the job done.

Here's why the Gentle Giant keep coming and the officer keep shooting before GG could finish the job on the cop that he'd started. He was shot 4 times in his right arm, which didn't even slow down GG. Then he was shot in the eye, a fatal shot and immediately afterward shot in the top of the head, also a fatal shot and he went down facing forward. [speculation]

If GG was going backward with his arms up, he could not have been shot on top of the head and he would not have fallen on his front.

Why the morons allowed the meme of "hands up don't shoot" to get started and settled is beyond me. We're going to have college bands at football games forming the "hands up, don't shoot" sign during halftime, like they did with Trayvon Martin. And that was even after all the facts came out. For the Agitators, truth and facts don't matter, it's the agitation and incitement that's important.

Wasn’t the Hildabeast sporting corrective lenses for this a while back?

Was there ever any verifiable proof of the ‘fractured orbital eye socket’ story?

From what I’ve heard it was all based on some caller to a radio show.
