Considering Brown had four bullets to the right arm prior to the head shots, I’d say Wilson was initially shooting to wound, but Brown kept coming and it gave Wilson no choice. Especially since Brown had previously attempted to take Wilson’s gun and viciously sucker-punched him.

The reason there were 4 bullets to the right arm was not due to “shooting to wound”, but due to having a blown eye socket due to a knockout punch from a 275 pound thug.

I believe that he was shooting for center mass as he was trained to do. Hitting him 8-10” to the left of cm was probably due to his injury, adrenaline, speed of the attack an target presentation.

You have to wonder if Liberals are capable of understanding the concept of self-defense.

It seems no amount of clear evidence to the effect if of the officers self-defensive actions will settle a people already determined not only to convict him but not even to wait for an investigation.

If the kid was shot in the black they would have a case, but he wasn’t, he was shot facing the cop, after a struggle.

I have yet to read what caliber of weapon the officer was using and fighting over. That there were no exit wounds pictured for the back leads me to thinking the officer might have been using a low power cartridge. I have 387mags and 44mags that are intended for field hunting/use for serious big game. I would never think of field hunting for big game ,man or beast, going up to 300 lbs. with something like a 38 sp.
