That is a standard 2D autopsy drawing used to represent 3D locations.

2D or not we know that the right side of a facing right arm is the inner side, that s all the purpose of thoses drawings...

Anyway since the last wounds are the ones on the face it is obvious that it wasnt at close range, one couldnt spot the face , then shot at close to gun point, then spot again after the recoil and shot a second time in the face, still at gun point, with the previous four bullets being also at gun point, of course....

We dont know if he charged the policeman but what is sure is that any man that would be shot, wrong or right, non lethaly, could then immediatly charge to try saving his life, if he was wrong at the start it s still the policeman that is in self defense but if he wasnt wrong then it s self defense against an armed individual, be it a policeman, and in this latter case it would be a tragic one given the outcome.
 
National guard is being sent in now. This shit is getting serious and now Congress is thinking about taking military hardware away from cops.
 
This report has Johnson saying the shots were at close range.
Brown made it past the third car. Then, “blam!” the officer took his second shot, striking Brown in the back. At that point, Johnson says Brown stopped, turned with his hands up and said “I don’t have a gun, stop shooting!”

By that point, Johnson says the officer and Brown were face-to-face. The officer then fired several more shots. Johnson described watching Brown go from standing with his hands up to crumbling to the ground and curling into a fetal position.

The officer was face to face with a surrendering Brown and simply executed him.

And that Brown was shot at the vehicle.

Because gun muzzles bounce around and the kid was moving.

The policeman created the confrontation out of thin air and once the things started to escalate just a little he knew he had a pretense to act lethaly, he made sure the guy couldnt testimony in a court by making sure that he wouldnt escape death, hence the six bullets...

This so called policeman is a criminal thug in disguise.

Thats a nice hypothesis.
Do you have any evidence? Cuz right now all of it is pointing to a kid charging a cop and getting shot for it.
 
“I seen the fire come out of the barrell,” he said. “I could see so vividly what was going on because I was so close.”

Johnson says he was within arm’s reach of both Brown and the officer. He looked over at Brown and saw blood pooling through his shirt on the right side of the body.

So we should have a good blood trail from the SUV as Brown ran.

The post above yours has a link and a first rate witness...

Anyway only in the US a thuggy policeman can grab a guy randomly and if the guy is choked and try to take some breath he s considered as resisting dangeourously and can hence be shot....

Note that with Trayvon Martin, we had a soot ring and a large area of stippling through a hoodie and a t-shirt from a close range shot with a 9mm.
 
The Hidden Audio Of Mike Brown Shooting Eye Witness – A Witness Conversation Unknowingly Captured at the Scene of the Ferguson Shooting is a Game-Changer

FIRST, The friend describes the event -as told to her by Wilson- as follows:

He pulled up ahead of them. And then he got a call-in that there was a strong-arm robbery. And, they gave a description. And, he’s looking at them and they got something in their hands and it looks like it could be what, you know those cigars or whatever. So he goes in reverse back to them. Tries to get out of his car. They slam his door shut violently. I think he said Michael did. And, then he opened the car again. He tried to get out. He stands up.

And then Michael just bum-rushes him and shoves him back into his car. Punches him in the face and them Darren grabs for his gun. Michael grabbed for the gun. At one point he got the gun entirely turned against his hip. And he shoves it away. And the gun goes off.

Well, then Michael takes off and gets to be about 35 feet away. And, Darren’s first protocol is to pursue. So, he stands up and yells, “Freeze!” Michael and his friend turn around. And Michael taunts him… And then all the sudden he just started bumrushing him. He just started coming at him full speed. And, so he just started shooting. And, he just kept coming. And, so he really thinks he was on something.”

Read the article because the witness conversation (which I haven't quoted here) corroborates what I quoted above.

A hundred years ago you would be in the crowd cheering as the black man was hung for raping a white woman.

We know when people have no argument when they do ad hominem and use fictional cases as, well, "arguments"...

I can as well tell you that at the time you would had been the one that made a felony and fraudulous witness against said black man....

Well let's see. I've held that before one can judge guilt and exact justice an investigation and legal procedures must be followed. One thing I despised is the Iraq war, and of course we all know that Big Oil caused that, or was it Halliburton? Or was someone paid by the Jewish Cabal? Space aliens? Hell with it, we don't have to know, let's just hang em. I know exactly what Bush was thinking. I know what he was guilty of, how much he knew, how much he was complicit. I can imagine anything, and by virtue of my pronouncment everything becomes truth.

No. I believe I know what happened, I believe, strongly so, who were the culprits and I would have justice served, but before I did so I would seek the truth and that is not dependent on what I would have thought, but what happened. No rope, but a trial then punishment to fit the crime.

Lets look at you now. You have clarity of vision, certainty of thought, infallible knowledge of what happened. You don't need careful because you have magical properties of implicit correctness. He's guilty and don't confuse you with facts because your mind is already made up. Get the rope.

Today it's the cop but in times gone by it was the black, and by the same reasoning, the same certainty, the same means, you have pronounced guilt and all that remains is the sentence. Different people, different times, same base instinct overriding reason, substituting that with condemnation by pretended certainty of motivation. You would have gotten into the mind of that black man and found him guilty just as much as you did the cop. Oh, but but. Nevermind the buts. The times have changed where blacks are recognized as not being what they were once thought, but the police? Well, we know what THEY are like. Shiftless thugs and we don't need no stinkin judge and jury.

No, it isn't about who, but about the process of how one determines guilt and you've done just what the mob of days gone by have. Merely different faces which suffer your "justice". This cop, that black, that witch, that Jew. It is people such as yourself in other times and places that feed the cancer.

And now it's alleged that the DOJ told the police department to not release the video of the robbery. And various outlets of the media have release the officer's name and where he lives. Wonder how media outlets will react if the cop or a member of his family gets shot? I bet a couple people on here would like to see that happen.

I haven't been following closely enough to hear all of the details, but was he shot again after he was on the ground?

Because CNN is airing that cell phone footage, and they urge people to listen to it, and the person shooting the video mentioned that the kid got shot again while he was on the ground. They even captioned it.

If that's not true, then it's pretty ridiculous that news agencies were stating that the timing of the release of the robbery video was meant to tarnish the image of the victim, yet they have no problems releasing videos with audio of people stating incorrect facts.

This whole thing is just a media circus, and the protesters are just feeding off of it.
 
So based on the facts as I see them, the small white cop is the victim of an assault by a big crazy black guy and the cop killed (did not murder) the assailant in self defense.

Case closed?

MO has a sunshine law which basically requires the release of certain info if it is requested. IIRC, the video was released per that law.

I think that is where the legal debate will be.

Whether Wilson should have shot Brown when he came at him.

I think Wilson and Brown did struggle for the gun at the car door.

I think Wilson did realize that these two were the robbers.

I think Wilson did shoot and kill Brown when Brown charged at him.

The question is, should he have done so?

I think people will say the usual about shooting to wound...which always seems to come up no matter how many times it's explained.

I haven't heard if Wilson had a taser, either.

Presumably Ferguson did not buy those either.
