When you say press conference at 9:30, start your press conference at 9:30. Right?

Yup, so I'm guessing that Brown turned to confront the officer, the officer fired the four shots that hit him in the arm, enraging Brown, and then he lunged/began running at the officer and the officer got off two shots while his head was in a downward angle... The eye shot and then the kill shot.
I dont buy this for a minute, just like I didn't buy the hands up or shot in the back. I think he was charging the whole time, based on the only two peoples versions of events I've heard that make sense.
ETA: the whole time meaning while he was shot.

Btw, anyone who is questioning the angle of the head....
Stand up and act as if you are about to lunge at someone or run at someone...
The first thing that happens is your back leg/plant leg extends out, your front leg bends, and your head naturally dips down. You can still have your eyes up to see where you are going, but there is no denying it changes the angle and would bring a 6'4 individual face/head down another 6+ inches.

If up, the cop would have to be consistently missing high left and up... it just isn't plausible.

Boy you sure did leave out some vital information here.

That theory was pushed around after JFK was assassinated.

I'm not questioning anything from the autopsy. thats why it is done. I just didn't think your pic proved your point very well but I'm not sure I was following you.

I know many have heard of the 21 foot rule. It takes very little for an agressor to accelerate 21 feet while someone is unholstering a weapon. (We dont know how far MB was when he allegedly started his "charge") I would imagine that the officer exited his car with weapon drawn. Shooting at a rapidly accelerating target, at that distance... Id say per the shot placement that it is entirely plausible that MB was charging head on at the officer and he rapid fired to neutralize the threat.

No gunpowder
It's because of this I might find the shooting questionable.
How?
Can we do a quick brush up on gunpowder residue to put this silliness to rest?
12 inches away leaves heavy residue.
18 inches to 24 inches leaves leaves considerable residue.
3 to 5 feet away leaves trace amounts.
Look at an object 6 or 7 feet away from you and ask yourself if shooting it would be "shooting it at a distance."
No. It wouldn't be.
You could shoot someone 6 feet away and they would not have residue. 6 feet away is right on top of you.
Idiots seem to think no gunpowder residue means he had to have shot him from 50 yards.
Geez.

Im sorry, should have said 3 shots, because the 1st came from within the vehicle.
I'm saying Brown turned and became aggressive... Maybe 10 or so feet away from the officer, who was trailing him, and began walking towards the officer like "frick you, what the frick are you going to do" and the officer feared for his life being that he was already "punched" in the face (supposedly). He fired 3 shots which weren't effective or on target and then Brown lunged/charged at the officer and he fired the last two shots (eye and then head)

I don't like the way cops are policing our country currently and I find this far-fetched. The guy stops as the officer asked him to and them turns around. And the police officer plinks him four times?

so has the autopsy said which way the bullets that killed him entered?
