oh good. another 500-page thread debating the definition of a single word.
I thought the great William Jefferson Clinton ended all debate on 2 letter words....

It is tough to aim when you have been cracked in the face by an innocent college bound 280 lb teenager that was on his way to church.
could also be that he was targeting non-life-supporting areas of Brown's body (arms) then when the sweet, innocent and confused angel stumbled forth to the officer, reaching out for help, the racist officer placed his government-issued firearm on the forehead of the choir boy and pulled the trigger.Alleged audio of the gunshots. 11 shots is what they are saying. Missing 5 hitting six doesn't really jive with a stationary target of that size, IMO. Seems like two seperate groups of shots, like he shot a few and paused, then opened up again. Prosecution (if there is) will try to sell that as an execution. Defense will try to sell it as waiting to see if the kid would stop coming after he got shot already.
Personally, I do not see a random 18 year old charging at anyone that is firing at them. Makes zero sense.
True. For someone to act aggressively towards an officer they would most like have to be guilty of something or under the influence of some substance, but that's just my opinion.

Short of facing the death penalty or life in prison, I do not see anyone charging in the direct path of gunfire. Even people that have faced that type of punishment do not have the balls to do that. I also have not heard of any weed or alcohol that will make a person charge a person firing at them. I do not know, but I doubt that the kid was on PCP or some other hardcore drug...
Shoplifting is one thing, how many people do you know go in and blatantly take something and then push around the store clerk? This kid-scratch that-this GIANT MAN- obviously had very little fear or respect for authority. 6 shots go off in a couple of seconds..it's not like he would have had a lot of time to think about the bad decision he was making.

Yes, it makes much more sense that a veteran police officer would attempt to pull a 300 pound kid onto his lap through a car window, and then shoot him as he was running away with magic bullets that are able to make U-turns in the air.
Actually it may have been 10 shots. 6, then a 3 second pause and 4 more shots. There is an audio out from a guy that lives near, who was in a video chat at the time. It has been all over the news this morning.
He must have been a terrible shot then...maybe he had a problem with one of his eyes.

The grabbing part is believable.
Really? I mean, I'm no expert but I'v watched enough episodes of Cops to know that police don't want a perp (especially a massive one like this) anywhere near them since they are carrying a weapon. But this cop thought it would be a good idea to try and pull a struggling 300 pound man into his car window? He must be the world's biggest idiot.
That has been the consensus from several witnesses.
I think he was trying to grab the kid and get out of the car. I do not believe he tried to pull him in through the window.
