Brown family attorney Daryl Parks points on an autopsy diagram to the head wound that was likely fatal to Michael Brown during a news conference in Ferguson, Missouri, Aug. 18, 2014. The family of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old teenager shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, paid for an independent autopsy which was carried out by Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner for the City of New York.

The basic rule of thumb is "If they keep coming, you keep shooting."

yes you shot until they stop coming at you.
When a 6 ft 4 inch nearly 300 piund guy is attacking you I guarantee I would unload until he stopped, and four in the arm is not going to make him stop.
So the media needs to back off trying to convict this cop and get back to the ral questions.
This guy was on drugs, attacking a store clerk, robbing a store and attacking a cop in 10 minutes.
Them thugs come out to rob, and riot, to shot at cops, throw bricks and bottles, and somehow these idiots in the media would rather blame whitey cop

"in split-second incidents, police don't cock their gun but instead fire all the way through meaning the shots will be less accurate because it requires more pressure to fire the weapon" Was he using a revolver? This is news!

What is unusual is that the cop actually HIT him 6 times. Under intense pressure, many people can barely manage a 10% hit/miss ratio.

Well, you know Bloomberg would be happy with 6 shots. He wants to limit guns to 7, so this cop gave him a bonus round.

that’s why I keep the 15 shot mag in my Ruger SR40C and the 9 shot mag as the back up.
For those times when 5 shots from my .38 Special might not be enough

Not to mention that the cop has a busted face and he’s wired up. It takes what it takes to stop the brute force attack of a 6’2” 275lb savage.

I think when they choose to pull the weapon out it is to stop a threat and it is not unusual to empty the whole clip to make sure the threat doesn’t prevent them from going home to their family.
Not a popular view with some, but it does make sense and the way it is.

“Yamin added that in split-second incidents, police don’t cock their gun but instead fire all the way through”
The article said this Yamin guy was a retired police officer. He must have retired a long time ago because that stuff he is saying applies only to revolvers.

They should probably shoot him again just to make sure.
To: SeekAndFind
He had already assaulted the officer, punching him and breaking his orbital bone around the officers eye.
Apparently he had tried to get the officers gun.
This was a big guy, 6 feet 6 inches tall and 290 pounds...and not obese.
When he charged the officer, the officer rightly presumed this large guy who had already injured him, would probably over power him if he was able to get to him. He rightly saw this charging, big strong guy, as a threat.
So he fired until the big guy went down. Apparently toward the end, Brown either fell forward, or had his head own and one shot entered the top of his head and killed him.
I would have done the same.

You keep shooting, especially with a broken eye socket and the perp is coming back for a 2nd round.

They keep coming, what ya’ gonna do. Run, get hurt or go home. I don’t want no one causing me to feel physical pain.
Isn’t’ happening, if I am conscious.
