My first thought was that he would be railroaded. I knew the evidence was going to come out and show that MB was facing him at the time and possibly charging him..... Although I'm starting to really think about it and it sorta pisses me off that an unarmed man was shot 6 times with many being in the head/neck area. May have been a little over kill.... I hope justice is served and the right call is made, whatever that may be

Its hard to second guess an officer in that situation when you don't know what's on someone's mind when they are charging you even when you have your weapon drawn on them. ETA I really don't think this officer was aiming for the head. Just shooting for center mass.

When I was involved in law enforcement the standard service pistol was 9mm with ball rounds. It would take a lot of shots to drop a pissed off 12yr old girl. I also recall from shooting simulators that most officers throw their first round in the adrenaline rush and could rarely accurately recall the exact amount of rounds discharged.

This cop, local business owners and the good residents of Ferguson are gonna get a screw job. Nationwide race relations are going to continue to worsen. The media has been irresponsible and despicable for the most part.

Adrenaline drop can cause this. Sounds to me like this cop, as opposed to many others, actually knew how to shoot.

Only two of the six bullets hit him in the head,neck.chest area. Four to the right arm, one to the crown of the head, and one bullet pierced him in 3 different places, going downward - entered at his right eye with his head slightly downward, exited and entered his neck just above the collarbone, re-exited and finally lodged in his upper chest.
