No scruff marks on Brown’s knees or hands. Only face. Which means not someone charging or moving with sandals, tube socks at a cop with pointed gun no less. 2 head shots downward angle, with officer not over 12ft tall so Brown’s already down, kneeling, etc. Forensics thus far don’t show good future for officer.

You have a strange concept of forensics. Sandals and tube socks have zero bearing on scuff marks. It is possible to fall forward without getting abrasions on the hands or knees.

I wasn’t there, and I am no forensic expert, but it is obvious that you aren’t either, and you are trying to make the evidence fit your version of the story.

I think the rapidity of the shots has to be taken into account.

If the officer is facing a rampaging hulk charging towards him,

he doesn’t...shoot/look to see if the attacker is going to stop/concludes no
and...shoots/looks to see if the attacker is going to stop/concludes no
and...shoots/looks to see if the attacker is going to stop/concludes no
and...shoots/looks to see if the attacker is going to stop/concludes no
and...shoots/looks to see if the attacker is going to stop/concludes no
and...shoots/looks to see if the attacker is going to stop/concludes yes.

Rather he shoots continuously until he perceives the threat is over...

bangbangbangbangbangbang...

There is very little time between bangs to analyze if the threat has ended.
It is quite possible that the attacker has already begun to fall by the 4th or 5th shot
dropping his head, even lower than charging alone would have,
towards the center of mass at which the officer was aiming.
