I don’t know how tall he is but Brown looked very large. I think he was about 6’4” and about 300 pounds. But I’m not sure what the cop’s size has to do with the story.
His size has everything to do with it —
They had apparently just had a wrestling match and they were evenly matched apparently.
If they were evenly matched and he had the color of law on his his side, then why is he bringing a gun into the match.
He knew that Brown did not have one.
He also had available to him a tazer and baton and back-up that he should have called.
SO why the deadly force of 8 shots.
