Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet
Assaulting and then trying to disarm a cop will get your a*s shot just about every time (especially if the officer didn't have a taser). You're still begging the question about "running away." The family autopsy results seem to indicate he was facing the officer at the time he was shot. I've posted before about this idea of overkill. That six shots is too many. We learned in the Amadou Diallo case in NYC that cops are trained to fire until the threat to them is over. The image presented today is Officer Wilson carefully firing one shot after the other, like he was on a grouse hunt. My guess is, if he truly felt threatened, he pulled that trigger as fast as he could. That would account for what's now speculated as the last shot hitting Brown on the top of the head, as he was going down..
