Because they are afraid that the cop's testimony of that Brown assaulted the cop and tried to take his gun away from him and that's why the cop shot him will seem closer to the truth with this new revelation. Because if Brown assaulted a store clerk to rob some cigars, then what's to say he wouldn't assault a cop?

That's not to say that's what happens. And it still doesn't make the fact that the cop shot an unarmed man in the back until he was dead justified. (He could have shot him in the leg. Or fired warning shots.)

But it goes against the whole "Brown is an innocent lamb who never hurt anyone" story they are trying sell us.

And I had no idea that Brown was almost three hundred pounds and 6'4". That's not a man. That's a mountain. I wonder how tall the cop was.

You don't fire warning shots and you don't shoot to wound. If you the take the weapon out of the holster than you shoot to kill.

That's not to say that the cop should have taken his weapon out to begin with. We don't know the whole story yet.

Patrolmen are not snipers. They generally don't have the skills or the gear to make precise, "Lone Ranger" shots.

But the gun is the last thing you pull, because usually the only ways to stop someone with a gun are to blow open the aorta and kill them or to threaten them to do so. He had a radio to call for backup, he had a car, he should have had pepper spray, and he probably had a taser. This does not sound like a good shoot. He should have called for backup sooner.

This is why I don't think most patrolmen should generally carry sidearms. I know, that's an unpopular opinion in the USA. But they're just not well-enough trained to use them beyond, "threaten to shoot," and, "empty the mag."

:(

He could have shot him in the leg. Or fired warning shots

People need to get it in their heads that this isn't how guns are used ever. Warning shots go somewhere, ricochet and hit innocent people sometimes, and they come down if you shoot them in the air, which makes the practice extra stupid. Shooting in a limb is hard because limbs move in often erratic ways. If you're shooting at someone to stop them in a confrontation, chest shots are your best and pretty much only bet.

I don't know how justified shooting was in this case (I'm guessing very little) but people need to actually realize that guns are to kill people.

Thank you.

In addition to this, leg shots are all kinds of fatal. Big old arteries in there, you're more likely to survive a chest shot.
