So, you are saying that the officer shot Brown in the arms three times, and Brown just laid there and waited for him to walk up and shoot him in the head twice??

To me, how much it changes depends on the order of events.

Because IF Wilson was hit in the eye while Brown was in the car, once Brown exited,
Wilson should have realized he had a situation
he could no longer handle and call for backup. And YES, stayed in his police car.

If he was THAT injured, he certainly could have injured an innocent bystander wailing a weapon,
with diminished vision. Once again, inexperience and wrong decision making skills at play here,
IF we are to believe your scenario.
If every cop just got back in their car when faced with danger the lawless would be ruling this country.
You are going to have to come to grips with the fact that cops shoot people.

A cop's life is not all about pulling people over for speeding tickets or helping stranded motorists.

If they had "physical evidence that the cop had a busted eye" they would have released it. They haven't so they don't. It's a fabrication to get public sympathy. The cop wasn't nursing a busted eye in the video.
Missouri sunshine law.
Forbids the release of investigative details from an active investigation. This is a unique feature of Missouri's sunhine; most states give authorities the option to release records before the investigation closes. The robbery information could be released because the investigation on that incident had been closed.

Maybe the cop could have called a timeout to call back up. I am sure Mr. Brown would have willingly complied. This whole scenario probably happened so fast training and instinct took over.

Can we all agree that if MB would have shown the proper amount of respect for the law he would still be alive today?

People have to be accountable for their own actions. I have never, EVER messed with a cop.

Brown had some kind of death wish.

Let's play out this scenario.

Officer stays in his car after getting beat.

Brown flees and breaks into pollyrobin's house to hide.

Brown beats & rapes pollyrobin within an inch of her life.

Do you still wish the Officer would've stayed in his car?

According to her, Brown had his hands up when he was shot. He had surrendered and did not charge the officer. She said the first shot(s) came from inside the vehicle and that then Brown began to run. She also said that "the boy didn't do anything to deserve that"








Why are all of the accounts making Brown out to be the aggressor from unnamed and unverified sources. Doctored images and questionable reporters?
"The boy did not do anything to deserve that"?

So -

1. assualting a police officer
2. trying to grab the officer's gun (presumably to shoot him)
3. charging the officer

............... constitutes "doing nothing to deserve that"?

Who then, does deserve to be shot?
