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

I don't believe that after five plus shots, he was trying to "charge" and would have posed any significant risk at that point. Hell, I would understand more if officer Wilson shot him in the car as he was allegedly grabbing for his gun. That's definitely a "shoot to kill" time.

Wilson tried to shoot him in the car when Brown was attacking him The gun jammed because Brown had his hand on it preventing it from firing. ... And depending on the caliber of weapon & type of rounds, people can definitely continue charging if they aren't hit in the head or heart, which if you look at the evidence did not happen until the end. ...Years ago, I knew cops who carried 2 firearms - the one issued & their own which was always either a .357 or .44 mag. for that very reason. Getting hit by a round from either one of those caliber weapons anywhere on the body will stop someone pretty much immediately most of the time, if not kill them, depending where hit. ... Idk if that is standard practice anymore in most departments.
