Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old whose shooting by a police officer set off more than a week of unrest in Ferguson, Mo., was struck by at least six bullets, including two to the head, according to a former New York City medical examiner.

The autopsy results came as a march protesting Mr. Brown's Aug. 9 death erupted in chaos Sunday night when police forced back demonstrators in a cloud of smoke and a hail of sizzling canisters.

Michael M. Baden, who conducted a second, private autopsy Sunday for the Brown family, said wounds to the head and brain were the likely cause of death.

Rushing a police officer with a 6ft 4 (or 6;; have heard both) and 292 lb frame when he has a gun is probably not a good idea

If Dr Michael Baden is the one I’m thinking of (always on TV when famous killings take place) he is a total idiot. He will testify to whatever the folks who hire him wish.

eighth night of rioting for a criminal thug who by all appearances was gunned down in self defense.

Just gotta love Obama’s post-racial america.

Next time Officer Wilson goes out on patrol, he’d better have an elephant gun!

He testified on behalf of O.J.

‘Nuff said!

Autopsy shows:

1. no shots in the back - as the accomplice tried to claim and

2. no ‘hands in the air.’ All of the bullets truck the front of his arms, so his arms were NOT raised.

Basically, he strong arm robbed the store. Po-lice pulled up and he punched the officer. Wilson got out, “Freeze!” and they exchanged words, “What ya gonna do motherf&cker, shoot me?” and then he bum rushed the cop. Cop shot until it stopped Brown and that wasn’t until the final fatal shot.

Notice they did NOT release toxicology. What does that tell us?

Big Mike was likely high on something as well.

How many people have now been shot by persons other than the Ferguson police?

Toxicology results sometimes take a couple of weeks to get back. That usually has been the situation when autopsy reports are released.

Did anyone else see the Vice video from the night of Aug 17...

Their reporter asks State Police Capt Johnson if the police will “use violence” if people ignore the curfew.

Capt Johnson says “my hope is that everyone will go home and enjoy the night and tomorrow continue OUR protest”

I don’t know, but I’ve been listening to a hell of a lot of activity (including frequent reports of shots fired) there tonight (that likely won’t be reported on tomorrow’s news).

Saw that.

He was also there apologizing and he and the Governor of the state have referred to Wiilson as ‘the shooter’.

Just wait until the Grand Jury finds that Wilson acted in self defense when Brown rushed at him after they’d already struggled over the gun and Wislon had been punched.

Then the REAL riots will start, possibly nationwide.

They want to time this for November. Mass black voter turnout in the face of record black unemployment and Hispanics replacing them every day for jobs and most important minority status.

Gotta fool the people somehow...

Perhaps they should try using canister shot, sizzling or not.

My guess is that he was either on meth or maybe bath salts..or it could have been pure adrenaline..it takes a lot to bring down a fat man..being shot in the arm would have been enough for a regular person to stop but it seems no matter what this officer did he would not stop charging him..the toxicology results are going to be vey telling..if we ever get to see them

Nope. Those aren’t drugs used in the black community.

Crack, MJ, maybe PCP but not Meth or Chems.

Without knowing where the exit wounds are positioned relative to the entrance wounds it is hard to say for sure whether his hands were raised in a “surrender” position or out in front of him in an “attack position.

Interesting all the shots are on the right side of him. I wonder if he was holding a weapon and was right handed.

Also, why is the front drawing ‘standing’ but the reverse is ‘floating’? Didn’t the artist know how to draw feet flat from behind?

P.S. autopsy report guys...what no exit wounds?
