Stop Glocking the Trigger (Michael Brown/Ferguson Related)

[T2C]

There is a video from one of Brown's neighbors that records about 10 minutes of the crime scene. It appeared Brown was facing down. The physical evidence from the autopsy and the crime scene video contradicts the principal witness statement.

Distance when the shots were fired and the angle of the arm wounds will give us a better indication of trigger manipulation.

The wounds to the jaw, neck and chest were re entry wounds from the shot that entered just above the right eyebrow. The round came in above the right eyebrow, exited the jaw and re entered in the chest. Bodner stated that the fight stopper was the top of the head.

I may get ripped here and I am only speculating but this seems consistent with Brown bladed and leaning into the patrol car and the officer getting punched. The officer accesses his weapon and fires quickly. As the officer is firing, the subject is falling and the pistol is recoiling. The last two shots are the eyebrow and the top of the head.
We don't know how many rounds the officer fired, we only know how many hit. I am guessing this shooting took from first to last shot about 1.5 seconds.

Seems logical.

I want to hear the officers side of the interaction. If it matches ballistics and physical evidence, then good shoot.

Opening this one back up. Please keep this thread about the technical aspects of the shoot, terminal ballistics, etc.

If it devolves into the same issues that closed the other thread, it will be closed. Thanks.

I think the analysis of powder on the clothes will help to determine if the arm shots were from the near contact shots in the police car (SUV?).

Saw an eyewitness report from to AA women and their lawyer on CNN. They said that he was shot at as he ran away. Either those were all misses or they were lying.

Why is it taking so long to get the cops story out? Aren't we like a week into this now and still no official report? Leads to all us speculating.

Looking at the diagram and thinking it as a static shoot (both parties standing facing each other) it seems the officer was snatching his trigger, indicating a moment if panic to make the victim stop. Differently not an execution.

Has anyone located more details about the autopsy? I would like to know if there was any tattooing or stippling around the gun shot wounds on Michael Brown's arm and head.

Umm, wasn't Brown wearing a hat and T-shirt? The information that has come out came from the families hired Coroner, unless i'm very much mistaken that coroner is trying to get access to the clothing and such to offer a more thorough report.

No residue on the body and Bodner and his assistant stated that they will need the clothing to make a more accurate finding.
Remember, there was no residue on Trayvon Martin either and a lot on his clothing.

Since we are all speculating. When I first saw that diagram on the news last night, my first thoughts were that those would be wounds I would expect from a right handed perp reaching into a vehicle getting shot by a seated right handed person in the driver's seat.

IIRC, the families 'HBO Guy' autopsy said there was no sign of contact to the gun shots, though he said that he didn't have access to the clothes, which may have residue. Looking at the strong arm robbery stills, he had on a short sleeve shirt, so if the arm wounds were from the struggle in the car, would there be powder residue on the body? Would it have been removed in the previous autopsies for some reason? So many people have been inside him this week, he'll have to change his last name to "Kardashian".
