It’s a good possibility that when Mikey Brown was rushing the police cruiser - that the motion of his arms going “up and down” would have resulted in the bullet strikes and the perception that he had his arms up...
Then again, anyone with common sense and decency does walk up to a uniformed police officer and start punching him in the face...with the store video showing that BROWN was already enraged and had a sense of entitlement due to size...he perception was one of “I can do anything I want - I’m a giant among men” ended when WILSON had to resort to a level of force that countered the physical battery leading to unconscious...
Result: there will be alot less victims in that area with BROWN gone than had this turned around in favor of BROWN, resulting in the officer being killed or permanently damaged from head trauma.
Anyone that has never served in combat or as a police officer making split second decisions when faced with such energetic physical force have no reference of a situation like this - nor should they be commenting one what WILSON should or should not have had done when facing a street thug.
BINGO! We have a WINNER!

I have no problem with the way Wilson handled himself that day but if I did you can be damned sure I’d comment whether or not I had a special license from you to do so.
I don’t think there has been enough examination of the drugs in Brown’s system. Drugs affect people differently. Not every pot smoker wants to curl up on the couch with some chocolate chip cookies.
