If his eye heals enough to allow him to return to duty, he'll return to duty.

If not, disability retirement with full or nearly full pay.

Pretty much what would and should happen to any of us who were assaulted, injured and defended ourselves with lethal force from a follow-on murderous attack.

Wilson might as well be placed in something akin to the Witness Protection Program. Even that may not be enough.

My issue with the claim that it was a good shoot predicated on the above is the following:

How could Brown have heard a command to stop when his ears were, seconds before, a few inches from a weapon that discharged in a confined space with no hearing protection? I don’t recommend you try reproducing this on your own, by the way. If the “command” was in fact shots fired at his back (which Brown could hear, deafened or not, and of course if he was hit in the hand, which is possible from a ballistics perspective, he’d feel that).....

The evidence does not support that Brown went for the officer’s gun and it discharged during said altercation. Specifically, there was no evidence of powder residue anywhere on Brown, including his hands. I assume for the moment there is physical evidence of a discharge in the vehicle (somewhere in the vehicle there is a hole from the inside out, etc.) — but to assert that Brown caused the discharge or was within inches of the weapon when it happened should have deposited evidence of same on his body, and that evidence is missing.

Show me the ballistics and geometric solution that allows an average-height man to shoot a 6’4” guy, who is roughly 6” taller than the officer, in the head and face with the known angles of entry and (for the shot to the eye) exit while that man is on his feet, charging or not. He did not fall to his knees while charging as the autopsy showed no abrasions on his knees or legs — inescapable injuries if you are charging someone, are shot, and fall forward on pavement. The only abrasion injury was a very light and flat-forward impact injury to Brown’s face consistent with a face-first fall from a stationary position. He thus could not have suffered the fatal shots in a scenario where he is hit superficially in the arm or hand, falls to his knees while running and thus presents the necessary angle for the last two rounds to go into his head that are being fired at an actively-charging suspect.
