I’m gonna keep harping on this: regardless of his _intent_, the objective _fact_ is the first FOUR shots were “wounding” shots. In addition, a shot HAD been fired even before that. Brown had AMPLE WARNING of imminent lethal harm if he did not halt his attack ... yet he continued until he had his brains blown out.
Brown made the wrong decision, to charge a cop that he had already wounded, and the first four shots did not make him change his mind. The fifth one did......................
Good point.
