Or the fact that if he shot him as he was running from a 5+ ft distance, there likely wouldn't be gun powder on Brown.


Quick question for you guys - a 6'4" 250lb+ guy is pissed at you and running toward you. At what point do you start shooting at him??

According to the account on KTFK, phoned in by a woman who identified herself as "Josie," the altercation began after Officer Darren Wilson rolled down his window to tell Brown and a friend to stop walking in the street.

When Wilson tried to get out of his cruiser, Brown first tried to push the officer back into the car, then punched him in the face and grabbed for his gun before breaking free after the gun went off once, the caller said.

Wilson pursued Brown and his friend, ordering them to freeze, according to the account. When they turned around, Brown began taunting Wilson, saying he would not arrest them, then ran at the officer at full speed, the caller said.

Wilson then began shooting. The final shot was to Brown's forehead, and the teenager fell two or three feet in front of Wilson, the caller said.

A source with detailed knowledge of the investigation later told CNN the caller's account is "accurate," in that it matches what Wilson has told investigators.

If true, the account represents the first telling of events from the perspective of Wilson, whose shooting of Brown has touched off nightly protests and violence in the suburban St. Louis city.


HANDS UP DONT SHOOT!!!

Big man fell about 3 feet in front of cop. No GSR. He would have to be 10' or less to have GSR.


I believe he said GSR would only be on if he was 1-2 feet away...Otherwise, there would be GSR on him if he fell 3 feet away and the fatal shot was the headshot...

I thought he said 10. I won't argue. He did say he couldn't put a maximum distance.

As quickly as I can get my gun out and steady the target. If he doesnt stop after seeing I have a gun, he is getting filled with lead. And I think that is fair and justified. Im 6'0" 175.

As opposed to what? Let's use our heads here and not lose it. This isn't as hard to figure out as we are all making it out to be.

You are so fool of shite.

you are picking one part that fits your piss poor narrative. You chose to ignore the part where he said that looting, antagonizing the police, and being violent were wrong and undermined the pursuit of justice.
