re: Official Ferguson Live Riot Thread - Wilson to NOT be Indicted!

quote:

---

The decision not to indict was probably proper, although why not let a jury decide? The standard for an indictment is considerably lower than the standard for a guilty verdict, and jury nullification would have occurred. However I do question not if it was proper to shoot Michael Brown; it probably was. My question is why the excessive shots? The head shot, which came after, seemed excessive to me.

You don't take a case to trial unless there's a chance of conviction.


Anyone who has taken any type of defensive weapons training knows that you engage the threat until it is no longer a threat. It could be 1 shot or it could be 20. He didn't stand over MB and keep pumping rounds into him.
