So uh, is anyone following what's going on in St. Louis?

I have seen some interviews with protesters. When confronted with the true events as now known, they change the narrative to "Well..then I guess it was OK to shoot him once, but not six times...blah blah blah". Seems that there is no cure and reason has nothing to do with there desire to be a part of what they consider to be history.

 

and I can make the same arguement that his injuries are consistent with arms out reaching toward the officer. Just the autopsy drawing is not enough information to make an intelligent determination.

 

I didn't say there weren't other plausible scenarios, just saying that the autopsy drawing doesn't refute witnesses who said he had his hands raised.

 

yes it does, the witness stated that he was shot in the back with his hands up...bull shit, that is not possible

 

There have been new medical studies showing that people can put their hands up while facing police, not just when they have their back to the police. I will try to find some links to the studies.

 

We're never going to see those studies, are we?

 

Wow. Look at the stupidity of a Ferguson policeman who's been on the force 26 years. The less experienced ones must be even dumber...for example, the police spokesman who didn't recognize the 26-year policeman on a force of only 53.

Wild speculation or just spot on?

 

If you're going to burn down your own neighborhood, at least have the decency to stay home.

 

Geez! You deflected my jab at Sly.

 

Well that image that shows the bullet wounds say much to me and it fits the latest reports. Seems spot on to me but perhaps you will hold out for an indictment. I guess many are taking that route. I don't think it will happen.

 

Ok, that is good to hear.

But that doesn't explain how it is that my take from the evidence provided is "Wild speculation"
just because you didn't get the same read. Just wanted to point that out now that farther explanations have pointed to what I read as probably true. The cop thought he was in a battle for his life. And I still expect this did indeed give him a tad case of Buck fever. Several shots left of center do give me that read. I take that as squeezing them off prematurely in his draw up on the target. Have you ever experience this?

 

I think that's important to note. If you are trained to fire a gun like a cop or military, you are trained to squeeze the trigger, not pull it. The barrage of off targeting tells me his adrenaline was pumping and his trigger was pulling instead of squeezing.

 

Very possible. Likely induced by adrenaline in either case.

 

Ha! Odd only to a man that has never experience the problem. I will speculate now, I expect the cop also had this thought; Damn! I have to slow down and get this one right. or this big sucker is going to do me this time!

It hasn't got jack to do with 2d vs 3d.

 

Did we ever find out that the cop had a broken eye socket?
