...

Look at the street where this all happened — it’s pretty wide.

Yes. But wasn't an ambulance allegedly also on it's way ?

I get the idea that the 'teens' weren't blocking the entire road, but according to the witness, when the cop backed up, Mike was close enough to the door that he inadvertently knocked the door back closed (what kind of cockamamie bs is that?).

It seems to me more like this;

The cop drove past them, yelling at them to get on the sidewalk. They refused. He backed up either because he was going to make them move, or because he recognized Mike from a BOLO call. As he backed up, Mike charged the police car.

The rest we know, more or less.

Thank you.
BTW
I saw the photographs of the dead kid, from two different angles. I have shot a lot of four legged varmints in my life. And based upon my experience, it looks like the kid was only shot once, in the chest. No visible exit wound. NOT hollow point?

Officers could have let go when the stopped resisting and allowed the officers to handcuff him.

You subdue til you handcuff/put on restraints, otherwise to ‘let go’ is to allow the criminal to re-attack and the whole things starts over.

Are there any times when a criminal is responsible for his own violent behavior?

What about the other claims on this thread, and others, that the ambulance was on it's way to an unrelated 'sick call' at the apartment complex ?

In fact, the number of times MB was shot are going to be key. It was said he was shot as many as 8 times. But the photos no not show obvious shots in the back.

All the family as at this point is “excessive force”. Without that, there’s nothing IMO.

Seems we have arrived at the cusp of evening, and so the shift crews are changing.

Thanks to all Freepers who participated in this lively discussion. May we all have benefited in some way.

It’s Friday night, and will be dark in about 3 hours.

Wonder what will happen next ?

As long as they don’t released the tear gas cannisters —probably nothing.

The police chief said differently on a number of points — who should we believe — an anonymous caller or the police chief???

Michael Brown had no criminal background

Would that cover juvenile as well ?

Big guy in foreground, is that a pistol in his belt ? Looks like it’s missing its magazine.

You would have to ask the County Prosecutor what he meant by that.
