Yes, the head shots were almost certainly the last ones. But it doesn’t seem to provide proof that Brown was moving at the time. It seems consistent with both a charging Brown and one who stopped and lowered his head - although the exact angle might tell a story, since Brown was 6’4”.

I’m pretty confident Brown was charging and was shot multiple times doing so. And if charges are ever brought against the cop, then the burden of proof will be on the prosecutor to show, beyond a reasonable doubt, Brown was not charging.

As for the Baden criticizing the number of shots, I’d say Baden has never been in combat, nor has he ever been shot at and needed to shoot back. If you’ve ever needed to defend yourself for real, instead of on TV, then you would know you don’t stop shooting until the other fellow stops everything.

The palm shot is evidence of running, imo.

It’s a grazing wound from the hand being nearly parallel to the line of fire.

Imagine Brown’s right hand, while running, in the “I want to shake your hand” position.
