We all should.

 

[kendrid]

Yeah let's blame parents for police throwing tear gas at their children.

People this is happening in a public area. There's no telling what the circumstances are for the people affected.

All of us knew it was probably going to happen and is going to continue to happen until this situation is calmed down. Children should not be there.

 

[TheOMan]

The guy who did the fucking autopsy said it didn't provide enough information to reconstruct the shooting, but the posters in this thread think they can do it based on the NYT article about the autopsy.

Whatever. Write whatever story feeds your outrage the most.

Hmm, unarmed teenager was shot 6 times and the guy that killed him is nowhere to be found. Outrage is warranted. Your post is bad.

Been at work all day, but I gather since the autopsy didn't fit the narrative of what the family/witnesses were saying the family asked for another one? And now there's 3 being performed? I haven't been up to date since I don't have access at work, but from what I'm seeing, no bulletholes to the back is a pretty big problem with the previous story of what happened.

Yeah, those 6 bullet wounds ain't going to mean shit in court.

The autopsy didn't fit anyone's narrative really. It tells us nothing right now.

I'll play.

The county/FBI autopsies won't be released until their investigations are completed, so the family did a private one to get the information out there earlier.
No bulletholes to the back is something that needs to be explained by those involved/the eyewitnesses.

I'm really wondering if we'll ever get a public account from Wilson. 6 shots, 2 to the head=you've got to explain every single one.

Vice is beating the breaks off of CNN/MSNBC right now. Outstanding coverage.

Indeed son.

Vice doesn't look to seek approval from side, they just like to cover what's goin gon.

To give context, the curfew wasn't supposed to happen. This was supposed to be a peaceful protest. She probably let him out because he really wanted to be out there since this is something important. I would do the same. She didn't expect there to be teargas and rubber bullets

Peaceful protests at night what news have you been reading? C'mon with fires and looting you don't take your kids out there. The overzealous PD has made world news and you take your kids to the streets to join, no you don't.

 

[mattiewheels]

No, there is no such thing as an immobilizing shot.

Once you shoot, you shoot to kill. No two ways about it.

Nope. That can kill you just as fast, really, and you are more likely to miss and kill bystanders. Guns are used as deadly force, and only ever fired with the intent to kill.

This always pops up, but no, patrol officers are trained to aim for center mass and to keep firing until the target hits the ground

Lethal force is lethal force. If it is justified vs an unarmed target it is applied the same way as it would be to an armed target.

Very sobering answers for someone who knows nothing about handling guns. I always assumed that they were trained for every situation instead of just "shoot center till they're down".

Still you don't bring your child to a rally when on the previous nights rally you know some jackass looter shot someone else that was protesting.

Again, do you know if these parents are purposefully letting their children attend this rally? Maybe the kid was in McDonald's? We don't know the circumstances chill out and let's not start victim blaming.

Well, it might be more in line with him charging the officer which came out in another story yesterday.

This has been addressed here actually. And no, I don't think the family asked for a separate autopsy due to any other not fitting their narrative.

 

[BronsonLee]

Very sobering answers for someone who knows nothing about handling guns. I always assumed that they were trained for every situation instead of just "put 5 bullets in his head".

They are supposed to be.

Likely would've come up in eyewitness testimony if he had charged him.

No one has seen the police autopsy, so there's no narrative there currently. This was the family's autopsy. The FBI has another coming.

Well, it might be more in line with him charging the officer which came out in another story yesterday.

A charging Brown doesn't fit with the bullet entries on his arm, unless as people have stated, he was doing so Wolverine-style.

All said Brown stopped and turned after second shot. Second shot didn't hit.

Whatever. Write whatever story feeds your outrage the most.

This shit is fucking ignorant. Comparing multiple witness accounts to what the facts of the autopsy are disproves a few of the possibilities that have been tossed around the past week and people are discussing it. The autopsy coroner doesn't give a fuck what witnesses' claim but that doesn't stop people here from correlating the two.

The bolded is especially disgusting.

We had a state trooper come to our school and someone asked about shooting to injure and that's what they told us. A Gunshot in the leg can kill you just the same.

They're supposed to aim for the chest and torso since it's a bigger target, since that's easier to hit.

 

[GK86]

This thread is going too fast, same with my Twitter. I can't keep up. My grandmother even started crying seeing the news and hearing the autopsy report.

Can someone fill me in on what the autopsy report said?

 

[Trouble]

After switching to the Vice Youtube feed, I realized that there is a place on the internet with worse comments than Youtube. For shame, livestream.com.

Edit: not that the youtube comments aren't abhorrent, just very slightly less so

 

[zewone]

Indeed son.

Vice doesn't look to seek approval from side, they just like to cover what's goin gon.

The lack of censorship or the need to fit an agenda really makes them excel in delivering news.

No the family just want their own autopsy performed and they got it done by Dr. Baden who's top notch.

And the no bullets in his back still doesn't mean he wasnt shot AT while running.

The wounds inside his arm line up with him having his hands up. The last two bullets which were in his head were the last two shots.

 

[Gonzalez]

Why would you let your kid go to McDonald's by himself? That's very irresponsible.

 

[FamousLastX]

Well, it might be more in line with him charging the officer which came out in another story yesterday.

And got shot on the inside of his arm? That would be a very unusual way to run.

[Renzoku]

Yeah let's blame parents for police throwing tear gas at their children.

People this is happening in a public area. There's no telling what the circumstances are for the people affected.

How about using common sense? This has been going on for a week. I think it's pretty easy to come up with a general idea of what will happen during the evening protest after a week of this. Why on earth you would put your kid in that sort of danger is beyond me. Shit happens at protests.

It's like saying "I don't have to pay attention to other people's driving while I drive a car, if they hit me because of something they did wrong, it won't be my fault!" Yeah, but it'll leave you hurt, scarred, maimed or dead just the same. Leave kids and animals and shit at home, or somewhere safe.

There's plenty of ways for them to make their voices heard while ensuring that they're not harmed.

How do we know the shots line up with having his arms up? Better yet, can anyone link to the autopsy? Better than derailing a conversation apparently you guys already had.

Back up a couple of pages for details, but in summary, this autopsy does not directly contradict eyewitnesses and no, other autopsies were not done as a result of this one.

Well, it might be more in line with him charging the officer which came out in another story yesterday.

Do you have a link to this other story?
