Autopsy Shows Michael Brown Was Struck at Least 6 Times

FERGUSON, Mo. — Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a police officer, sparking protests around the nation, was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, a preliminary private autopsy performed on Sunday found.

One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said.

Mr. Brown, 18, was also shot four times in the right arm, he said, adding that all the bullets were fired into his front.

Four warning shots to the right arm and two in the head when he didn't stop. Great shooting by the policeman.

I wonder if there is a dashboard cam video. Don't most police vehicles have one of those? I guess it would depend on if he was in front of the police car or not.

This is a disgrace. Cop should be arrested and in jail.

All the speculation is just another reason why cops should wear cameras. It would protect the police just as much as it would protect the public.

He had pot in his body and that what got him in the first place.

Actually if you wanted to stop someone from running at you, you would shoot them in the legs. Also where he was shot in the arm one could make a claim that he had his arms up in the air, like he was surrendering, not at his side.

Shoot them in the legs to stop them. HUH, Most 100% shooters drop to 70% under stress. Copstrain to shoot for center mass, technically this cop was a pretty good shooter, because he was only a few inches off for center mass. The first shot is the most accurate and everyone after that decreases in accuracy, UNLESS this cop was a competition shooter which very few are.

He was shot and killed after he rushed a cop and lost his life. Sounds pretty simple to me. Fresh evidence today supports this. The riots are simply animals running wild burning down their own stuff...ive never been able to explain that foolishness.

Legs are just as easy a target as arms and head.

Manufactured evidence.

Why is it that when there is an outcry of Racism the killer, victim, or whomever is called a teen, even though he is 18 which is a man, but at other times if the crime is heinous he is called a man from the get go? Seems a double standard here.

1:44 You must like movies, and TV shows, where cops place their shots from 200 yards, with a .38?

You shoot to stop the threat, center mass. You don't try top hit arms, or legs... CHEST is the biggest target, and that is where you place your shot.

Idiots.

I'm not a fan of the kops, but you rush one expect to get shot! Unfortunately we are going to see a lot more of this because the kops ain't backing down, and these types of individuals/perps are out there and there are a lot of them. Sooner of later it's coming to you!

And in the case of kops, the head is the biggest target. I would suggest people aim for that.

So 9:33 I guess you would say 12:37 is an idiot also. The point of my post was to point out the stupidity of 12:37's and other similar posts. If the cop was that good of a shot then he is definitely guilty of murder.
But of course he wasn't. As you state you aim for center mass. I knew what I was saying was complete BS as were the posts praising the cops shooting ability.
