“So the last two shots were consistent with a charging suspect.”
Or a falling one. I don’t care how big you are, getting shot hurts - as several here can witness from personal experience. You suddenly grey out and collapse.
I think the last shot, at least, (and maybe the second to last) was a complete accident. The bullet was fired just as he started to collapse. The officer was obviously firing rapidly - the entry wounds show the classic “walking up” pattern - and probably didn’t have chance to stop as Brown started to fall.
As to the tox report - if it comes back clear I won’t be totally surprised. People do some amazing - and amazingly stupid - things when the old adrenaline kicks in. Brown already was on an adrenaline high for the robbery, then the preliminary tussle with the officer. It’s called the fight or flight hormone for a reason. Brown chose fight. He lost.
No, he chose fight, the flight, then went back for some more fight.
He taunted the officer with "whatcha gonna do, shoot me?"
