To anyone who wonders why he shot six times, I too would have not wanted another struggle over the gun with a fractured eye socket. Brown got what he asked for....the charges being:

Assault on Store Clerk
Robbery
Disobeying an Officer
Assault on Officer
Felony Resisting Arrest
Attempted Murder on the Officer when trying to get his gun, and hitting him.
Fleeing scene of crime, when he first ran.
Endangering lives of citizens
OH and Jaywalking.

Now all that may not be names of crimes in MO...but some do apply. What did I miss...there is probably other charges that would be relevant.

I don't know why people think six shots is a lot. Usually the police empty their magazines which hold at least eight rounds and usually more. Was he carrying a revolver?

Six is minimal under the circumstances and if he had more rounds at his immediate disposal then he displayed good discipline by ceasing fire when the threat was ended.

You forgot under the influence or marijuana - misdemeanor. :-)

The robbery (strong-arm) in MO is Robbery 2, a class-B.
