Dr. Baden provided a diagram of the entry wounds, and noted that the six shots produced numerous wounds. Some of the bullets entered and exited several times, including one that left at least five different wounds.

Hmmm. Seems like the Laws of Physics were suspended for a bit. Or am I missing something obvious?
Probably bullets fragmenting upon hitting bone and making multiple exits wounds.
The bullets sometimes bounce off of the bones and ricochet through some other part of the body.
Also, people are talking about aiming. They don’t seem to realize how fast this all happens. Average police are not sharpshooters and, like anybody else, are trained to aim for the body mass where they are most likely to hit. They don’t shoot at individual body parts, and even these head shots were probably because the officer was aiming for the body mass and Brown put his head down and was charging him.
According to the report:
One shot in the hand
One shot in the forearm
One shot slightly north of the elbow
One shot in the upper forearm that went into the chest
One shot that went into the eye, out through the jaw, and back into the collarbone
One shot in the top of the head
So the last two shots were consistent with a charging suspect.

You don’t remember the “magic bullet” from the JFK shooting and the Feds’ contention that JFK was not shot from the front? .....The Gov’t. makes up ‘facts’ to fit their story.
Yes! you're missing something. Add that Brown weighed 292 pounds at 6'4", that standard autopsy body diagram is a much smaller man. Add several inches for 100 lbs of excess fat on the body. The Brown body is wider and heftier. Running is not like a sprint, either.
Now when he charges toward the police officer, think running In a hunched over position with one arm in front, turned a bit toward the officer. Bullets hit the arm acting somewhat as a shield, pass through the tissue of the arm, and then, much depleted in velocity and penetration ability, enter the chest wall doing some minimal damage. If he has at all worked out doing any lifting, the chest muscles are dense, and absorb the damage. Eventually he halls forward from the pain making itself aware, and the top of his head is presented to the oncoming bullets. Fatal wounds to the head ensue.
No special laws of physics needed.
The Baden diagram shows a single head shot that entered the forehead above the orbit of the right eye, exited in front of the eye, entered the cheek below the right eye, then after traversing through the upper and lower jaws, exited the right neck on the top right then entered the thorax at the base of the throat. Five wounds with one bullet. Most of the others were either single entry with no exit, or minor secondary wounds.
Fragmentation. Bullets hit bone and break up, even if they are not hollow points (Anyone know what the St. Louis PD uses? Google is failing me.). The bits fly everywhere. You note there is not one single through exit wound except for the hit to the eye. You’d expect at least one pass through.
Wiser heads probably know more.
Yes. Baden didn't actually do the autopsy on Mike. He was given the Warren Report and told to base his findings on the body diagram of JFK.(/s)
