Same reason you post autopsy reports from the ar15 forum members I guess.
Thank you for your wonderful contribution, don't even know why I bother.

So the fact that he stole cigars is irrelevant.
The fact that he was a drug user is irrelevant.
What about him hitting the cop and breaking his orbital socket?
Is this going to be irrelevant to?
why do you assume Brown hit Wilson? maybe another cop hit Wilson to pin it on Brown?
Of course it isn't. But that's why we have a legal system in place. Not a shoot to kill because he was stealing system.
I'm not buying the officers story. So this dude gets a report of a strong arm robbery, sees this 6'4 young man and his friend walking down the street and basically tries to arrest them without even calling for backup? Then he shoots the 6'4 man because he assumes he was armed? So here is a very dangerous situation and instead of calling for help he tries to go super-cop and do it all by himself? I've seen grannies pulled over with 2-3 extra cops called, something doesn't add up.
Why didn't he call for backup when he was initially assaulted? If the young man supposedly slammed his door shut and went for his gun why didn't he just call for backup once he got away/Mike Brown ran away? He sees that the young man is obviously going to resist arrest and had no respect for authority yet he goes after 2 of them by himself? The outta here.
read what you wrote out loud to yourself five times then look at yourself in the mirror and try not to laugh
LOL. Bootleg racism.
You're scenario is very plausible but I don't think mine is anywhere near as illogical you make it out to be. These guys are well-trained at firing handguns and if I had to bet on it he could have killed him in 1-3 shots if he wanted to.
the officer did not know about the robbery. he just happened upon him as he was walking in the street. That's pretty much all we know before the confrontation.
Have you said this to DMC everytime he uses these terms?
sure if you take away any variables ie movement, adrenaline, fear. He's not going to hit him right between the eyes in a real life situation, especially one that allegedly involved a scuffle
uh-oh
another black person shot by the cops...
3:05 p.m. ET: St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said the suspect, a 23-year-old African-American male, had been involved in a convenience store theft early Tuesday afternoon and was seen acting eratically. When two officers stopped him, the suspect shouted, "Shoot me! Kill me now!" The suspect refused verbal commands to stop and approached the officers holding a knife in an "overhand grip," getting within three or four feet of them, police said. Both officers fired at the suspect, killing him.
"Every police officer out here has the right to defend themselves," Dotson told reporters.
Look up some youtube videos of how long people stay on their feet after being shot. And no, they are not well trained at firing handguns, I shoot next to cops all the time at the range.
Training and a real life or death situation are entirely different.
Some people shoot "expert" all day long - then panic in a real life situation.
and vice versa
Some shoot ok at the range - but in a life or death they don't panic as much as others and shoot and kill the suspect.

also a St. Louis reporter says at least a dozen witnesses confirm Wilson's account.
My point was they don't train much with firearms.
thegatewaypundit, always rely on them for my up to date news.
so why didn't he call for backup? dude gets his face smashed in and goes after an attacker and his friend by himself?
It depends...
like anything else - some people are into it & some only do whatever they need to qualify and keep their certification current.
Some are like "gym rats" - they love the , are gung ho , and can shoot lights out and are pretty dedicated.
so why didn't he call for backup? dude gets his face smashed in and goes after an attacker and his friend by himself?
Maybe he did?
Maybe he didnt have time.
Do you understand that if a suspect assaults you and tries to take away your gun -
then "deadly force" is authorized?
Pretty simple.
Whatever happens after that - the cop was justified in shooting him. Period.
In a perfect world - did I want the kid to get shot for stealing something - nope.
But if he assaulted the cop, tried to take his weapon and then evade arrest?
I think killing him was justified - if this is what really happened.
At ranges, officers use sight alignment. In confrontations, they most often do not. Officers routinely miss their targets even at close range in a firefight. It's not like someone sounded a horn for an IPSC contest.
