This seems like a VERY HIGH HURDLE for Eric Holder to clear if he intends to prosecute Darren Wilson for violating Michael Brown's "civil 'rights'". But, in the Holder's increasingly politicized DOJ, Holder and Obama WILL STOP AT NOTHING until they utterly destroy Darren Wilson's livelihood and life. IMO, Barack Obama and Eric Holder ARE THE TWO WORST POLITICIANS in U.S. history. They have absolutely no morals. I would say they are Satanic but I honestly believe that Satan has better morals than either Obama or Holder./rwa

I find it amazing how all our armchair firearms experts are debating the fine points of aiming, the number of shots, the placements, etc.

Just some practical info for all. When the human body goes under stress, the first thing to go is the fine motor skills. That means that your pinpoint aim is gone. That is why LEOs are trained to shoot center mass. They are also trained to shoot to stop the threat. That means if they are in fear for their life, they shoot until the threat stops. There is no such thing as shoot to wound. If you have a threat coming at you, you have maybe 1-3 seconds to decide what to do and the do it. If you are injured or in severe pain, the situation is even worse.

There is much ado about how many shots were fired. Whether it takes 2 45ACP rounds to the head, or 10 9mm rounds to the body, the officer will continue to shoot until the threat stops. His aim will be imprecise, and his adrenaline level will be astronomical.

A street situation of “do or die” is not anywhere near punching holes in paper at a range. I’m pretty damn accurate at a range, not so much under stress.

So while everyone second-guesses the officer, just imagine yourself in that situation. You have already been assaulted and wounded. The thug has tried to take your weapon, obviously not to turn it in for $50 at the local gun buy-back, and he is now charging, all 6’4” close to 300 pounds of him leaving not much question that he means you harm. So, do you count shots? How many are enough if he is still charging? Should you stop and ask if he’s done attacking you? That is why LEOs are trained to shoot center mass and shoot until the threat is stopped. You would do exactly the same.

"That the defendant deprived the victim of a right secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States by committing one or more of the acts charged in the indictment"

While I wouldn't question holder's expertise in exercising the denial of a citizen's Constitutional rights, it's not quite clear what the point of his visit is.

A federal prosecution would be illegitimate under the Constitution! It should be greeted Jeff Davis style!

Wait, wait, wait. I’m trying to catch up.

Holder is trying to deny civil rights is a given. Is there really a chance he will have his staff prosecute himself?

Proof is not what they are looking for. In their minds, all they are looking for is a rope.

This whole ‘civil rights’ thing has nothing to do with Brown and everything to do with the anti-white agenda. Holder and ‘his people’ are what this is all about.

All he has to prove is that Michael Brown can’t be found anywhere alive, in today’s current climate. Unfortunately.

What makes this even more improbable is the fact that the prosecution has zero witnesses. They have all impeached themselves by lying. Zero credibility. None of them can take the stand. They lied and incited riots.

On a side note, I really want a bumper sticker that says ‘Looting is not the answer’...

Two things:

1) The shooter was white.
2) The victim was black.

Prosecution moves for a directed verdict, Your Honor.
